So, the second game in the Professor Layton series is generally called Professor Layton and the Devil's Box in Japan. There's no way this name will stand for US release, because think of the children!. So what's the game going to be called over here? Well, a GameTap interview cinches it.
GameTap: Were there lessons you've learned along the path of creating Professor Layton and the Curious Village? And how did you apply them to the second title?
Hino-san: I learned that it's better to integrate the puzzles in the story.
In the first title, I was concerned that the puzzles which unrelated to the story abruptly appeared along with gameplay. So, for Pandora's Box [the second Layton title], we designed most of the puzzles to go along with the storyline. On top of that, for the puzzles related to the core part, the graphics were particularly created to match Professor Laytons world.
Hm. Professor Layton and Pandora's Box? Not a bad choice, actually.
