Awkward title, great game”¦and DS auto pilot!
It looks like a modest little puzzle game. It waits for you, secretly chuckling. You have no idea how much fun you’re about to have. When you start Mario Vs.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future is out today!
Did anyone pick up the good Professor’s newest game? (My copy hasn’t shipped yet … boo!)
