To celebrate the launch of the upcoming Professor Layton and the Unwound Future in the U.S., Nintendo has a Ladies vs. Gents puzzle challenge planned for downtown San Francisco.
The event happens at Union Square on September 7 between 11AM PST and 6PM PST. Actors dressed like characters from the game guide visitors into a red telephone booth set piece to play a level from the game. Scores from men and women are tallied separately, although there is no prize for the gender with the best score.
The bottom line is you get to play Unwound Future almost a week before the game's September 12 release -- and stare at funnily-dressed people (but you can do that in San Francisco pretty much any day of the week). Other product demos, like the PlayStation 3 kiosks showing off MLB: The Show games at AT&T Ballpark, certainly don't have actors staffing them.
