This whole Nintendo Direct lark today has been pretty good; what with its offering up of a bevy of shiny new trailers for forthcoming first party Nintendo 3DS titles and all that.

Next up, is some video newness for the next adventure of Professor Layton, titled Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask.

Find it after the jump.

Packed full of puzzles, vaguely French ‘choons and lavish anime cut-scenes, it looks like the old Professor is going to make a fairly notable debut on Nintendo’s 3D handheld if this launch trailer is anything to go by.

Have a view below:

Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask is due to release exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS on October 26th in Europe and October 28th in North America.
