Europeans can whip out their puzzling hats at the end of November...

Nintendo of Europe has confirmed that Professor Layton and the Spectre's Call will be releasing in continent on November 25th.

Spectre's Call kicks off a prequel trilogy to the current three Layton games, and it explores the story of how Luke became the ingenious professor's trusty sidekick. The game features over 170 new puzzles and three new mini-games.

Controversially, the European version does not feature the side-RPG London Life, developed by Brownie Brown, which is included in Japanese and North American editions of the game.
