With the new crossover on 3DS, I've thought of making this thread in honor of both series.

Let's see here, Layton is a professor who gets to the bottom of things, while Wright is a badass attorney who came save anyone in a courtroom.

I choose Phoenix. Personally, he's just too awesome for words. He would totally own Layton.

Pshhhh...

I say Professor Layton. He's a pedophilia puzzle professor that hangs out with a little boy that carries a manbag. Hands down, Layton.

Series-wise, I'm not sure. But character-wise, Professor Layton all the way.

I like the whole puzzle solving mechanic behind the Professor Layton series, even thoguh I have to go wasting hint coins cause they're too hard. >:V

Then I find out it was actually way easier than I thought and die inside...

From the trailer:
Layton: I say, Luke, it is a shame that not all of the guardians of the law can be entirely trusted.
Phoenix: I DUN LIEK HIS HAT!

I dont exactly like Pheonix. And I think Professor Layton games are great, so... Layton.

Phoenix Wright gets my vote.
I have most of the games, and finished 'em. I just love shouting "OBJECTION!" into the microphone.

Ah, Layton is too awesome. Phoenix is awesome as well but.. Layton is just awesomer character-wise. And I would also say that I prefer the Layton games, I have come to a point where some puzzles considered hard for people are easy for me, and being good at math I also enjoy the Layton games.

Phoenix

the british charm of layton is useless on a fellow brit

I was also saddened when i found out that Luke was voice-acted by a woman; not a real cockney kid :'(

OBJECTION

I choose Phoenix.
