<P> The game was first hinted at as a crossover between Capcom and Level - 5 by Inafune, who was talking to Japanese business magazine Diamond prior to the Tokyo Game Show 2010, where he mentioned that he had great respect for Akihiro Hino, the CEO of Level - 5 . On September 25, 2010 the game was outed on Twitter when Jiro Ishii of Level - 5 accidentally tweeted to Jin Fujisawa of Square Enix, "Huh? Oh, Gyakuten XX . I'm making it, with Mr. Takumi!" in Japanese . This led to rampant speculation of a new Ace Attorney game being developed by Level - 5, similar to how new Capcom games from established franchises are being developed externally, such as DmC: Devil May Cry being developed by British developer Ninja Theory . The mistake was quickly covered up by Jiro Ishii who tweeted later that day that, "A misunderstanding seems to be spreading, so let me say that I'm currently working only on Time Travelers ." Yo Oizumi and Maki Horikita, who voiced Professor Layton and Luke in previous games reprise their roles, whilst Phoenix and Maya are voiced by Hiroki Narimiya and Mirei Kiritani, who also played their roles in the Gyakuten Saiban live action film . </P> <P> The game had originally only been announced for release in Japan, with Capcom gauging interest from the community over whether or not to localize it for other territories . In July 2011, Level - 5 International America Inc. conducted a Facebook poll in which fans were asked what currently Japan - only Level - 5 game they had the most interest in . Professor Layton Vs. Ace Attorney ultimately won the most votes, with over 6,000 . Although the game had yet to be officially announced for release outside Japan, an English - language press release from Capcom at Tokyo Game Show 2011 hinted as such . Journalists had also noted the game's listing on various Western online retailer, further suggesting a release outside Japan . Level - 5's CEO Akihiro Hino had earlier stated that Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney will be released in North America and Europe by its international studio in 2013, however a more recent statement from Level 5 following its Japanese release asserted that a Western release had not been confirmed or announced . </P> <P> During Japan Expo 2013 in France, when asked about a localization of the game, Level - 5 CEO Akihiro Hino said that "something was in the works", but that he couldn't talk about it at the time . Level - 5 International America posted about it on their Facebook page later the same day . A release for North America and Europe was finally confirmed on Nintendo's Nintendo Direct presentation on August 7, 2013, slated for release in 2014 . Due to the fact the North American release fully retains the European localisation as is, this is the first Professor Layton game in the region that features Maria Darling's voice as Luke Triton, instead of Lani Minella as in previous games . </P> <P> The soundtrack to the game was a collaborative effort between Professor Layton series' composer Tomohito Nishiura and newcomer Yasumasa Kitagawa--both of them, aside from composing new tracks, arranged music from previous installments of both franchises, with Kitagawa arranging some compositions from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney composer Masakazu Sugimori . Nishiura and Kitagawa arranged and orchestrated the music with the help of Yumiko Hashizume and Norihito Sumitomo; whom had both previously worked on the Professor Layton series . Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney contains re-orchestrated versions of various tracks from both series' games, as well as newly composed pieces . While the arranged pieces were used mostly with gameplay, the animated cutscenes were accompanied by more cinematic orchestral music . All orchestral pieces were performed by Layton Grand Caravan Orchestra . </P>
