That's right, folks. I did say "Takumi" and "new Gyakuten game" in the same sentence.
Some days ago, it was announced that Level-5, studio responsible for the Professor Layton, Dark Cloud and White Knight Chronicles series (and Dragon Quest VIII and IX), was collaborating with Capcom on a mystery project. Now, because of the ambiguity of the announcement, it went almost unnoticed. But not anymore.
Jiro Ishii, Level-5 staffer and creator of "428", the Japan-exclusive Wii visual novel (which, BTW, got a 40/40 score from Famitsu), is pretty active on Twitter. So much, that he was recently Tweet-chatting with Jin Fujisawa, director of Dragon Quest IX, and suddenly, one of Mr. Ishii's tweets contained the following statement:

And if you read "Gyakuten" and "Takumi-san", you're obviously reading about Shu Takumi, creator of the Ace Attorney series.
What does this mean for us, exactly? Well, one thing's for sure: Mr. Takumi is working on a new game with the word "Gyakuten" on its title. Of which we'll probably hear more soon.
People, feel free to hype the fuck up. And speculate, of course.
