    I mean, I scientifically dislike Ema Skye or whatever her name is, but nothing comes close to the idiocy of
    "hey, the lion sneezed and fatally injured that circus boy!"

    Also, dumb circus princess girl and her boyfriend.

    ^ Hot Da- I mean... Yeah, Pearls' official art looks spiffy. She looks like Iris in the yes department so it's good to see some family resemblance (Half sisters an all.).
    Also, on the Japanese website, it looks like Athena will be playable in the third case, and Apollo will be assistant. I like this change of pace. She's a lawyer as well, so it's good to see her actually Lawyer-ing.

    There's at least 5 M rated 3DS games that have retail releases so that doesn't make any sense at all.

    I think it has more to do with the fact that Phoenix Wright is a niche title with a devoted fanbase.

    So cutting out the retail part, you save a lot of money on overhead and get a bigger share of the profits without negatively affecting your sales all that much.

    It says 'language', not 'strong language', so I think it'll just be bastards and such at worst.

    Based on the descriptors, it involves murder scenes suggesting very brutal deaths. (Though Trauma Team got away with some VICIOUS implications, like someone clawing at a door while locked in a room and dying of a flesh-eating disease, so...)

We hope to have more info to share concerning the release timing and pricing soon, so why not take a sneak peak at the alternate costumes below until then?

    Phoenix wright is one of the few games where I'd probably opt in for additional playable episodes

    Well...seeing as each game is like 5 cases an extra episode is pretty good.

    That said...I thought the bonus episode in AA1 kind of sucked even if it had some nifty parts to it so who know.

  • PoolCuePoolCue Registered User regular
    What? the bonus episode in AA1 was one of the best! Maybe it was a bit too long.

    Also do we have any information about that Ace attorney/Layton crossover game that was released ages ago? Is it ever coming to NA/EU?

    No more than we knew before. Which is nothing.

    It's in Level 5's court I believe.

    We should accuse them of something where only an international release would count as conclusive evidence of innocence.

    Maybe they're timing it after the latest Ace Attorney. You know, to remind people why they should care about the Phoenix side.

    Fucking amazing, I honestly didn't expect this.

    I had basically given up hope on ever getting this, maybe they might've reconsidered depending on how well Ace Attorney 5 does. All the better that we're getting it regardless.

    Cleared Gyakuten Saiban 5 last week. It was okay. Better than 4 but not as good as 2-3. Or Kenji 1-2 for that matter. There're more hints and less "I know what's going on but don't know which stupid evidence piece I'm supposed to present at this particular point" bullshit, like Kenji 2. I really liked the transition to 3D; The characters don't just look right, they even move right.

    Examining evidence for stuff returns... once. You literally use it only once in the entire game. I'm taking this to mean they built up the system for use in sequels.

    I liked how chapters 1, 4 and 5 were all connected, but Kenji 2 did that better.

    Also Mitsurugi and Harumi barely existed and felt like they were only in the game at all so that they could put them in promotional stuff and say that they're in the game. Minuki doesn't get much screentime either. Garyuu only gets a cameo and doesn't even get a turn as prosecutor. Akane is gone completely. Felt a bit like how Mei was handled in 3, too many recurring characters for them to fit in convincingly.

    Personally Kenji 2 > Saiban 3 > Kenji 1 > Saiban 2 > Saiban 5 = Saiban 1 > Saiban 4.

    Well the question is, does it have a good villain? Because to me, that is the only reason why the 4th game was not as enjoyable (aside the stage-clip...).

    Ehhhh the villains were pretty bad but Yugami kind of makes up for it. And the last guy's reveal was cool.

    The interaction between Naruhodo, Odoroki and Kokone is pretty cool.

    Akane is Ema Skye i.e Science chick
    Minuki is Trucy Wright i.e magician side kick in apollo justice
    Garyuu was Klavier, the opposing prosecutor in apollo justice
    Mei is Franziska von Karma
    Harumi is Pearl
    Mitsurugi is Edgeworth I think?

    So basically, edgeworth and pearl are barely in it. Trucy doesn't really get much screen time either. Prosecuter guy from apollo justice gets a cameo but no turn as a prosecutor and Ema is not in the game.

    Ace Attorney Investigations 2 > Ace Attorney 3 > Ace Attorney Investigations 1 > Ace Attorney 2 > Ace Attorney 5 = Ace Attorney 1 > Ace Attorney 4 (Apollo Justice)

    edit: this post is real erratic with capitalizations but I'm too lazy to fix it
