Layton Brothers: Mystery Room Announced

The folks behind the Professor Layton series have just announced their latest game, titled Layton Brothers: Mystery Room. Here's the trailer.



I couldn't help but notice a few problems here...

1. Professor Layton is not one of the Layton Brothers.
2. In fact, one of the Layton Brothers is a girl.
3. There are no Professor Layton characters anywhere in this game, even though it's supposed to be a Professor Layton spinoff.

So...Professor Layton has a brother and sister that we've never heard of before.  Okay.  They haven't gotten English names yet, so let's call the scientist one "Englebert" and the green one "Luigi".  You can expect to play Englebert and Luigi's murder mystery puzzle adventure game when it comes out, probably next year.

EDIT: Japanese readers have informed me that Englebert and Luigi are not Professor Layton's siblings.  Instead, they say that Englebert is supposed to be Professor Layton's son.  So...Layton has a son we've never heard about before.  Ditto for Englebert's unknown mother.  Oh my.  Layton's family tree just got immensely more complicated.
