Nintendo Life's Box Art Brawl this week pits the two regional covers of Professor Layton and the Spectre's Call (also known as The Last Specter). The feature says there are just two covers to choose between and is presented as part of a celebration of The New World of Steam finally getting a release date. Nintendo Life describes the game as the first entry in the series' prequel trilogy, introducing Emmy alongside Layton and Luke as they investigate spooky goings-on in the town of Misthallery. The site adds this was the last Layton title to use the series' classic 2D visuals, with later 3DS and Switch releases moving to three-dimensional presentation.
