You're lying, dammit! And I can prove it!! [Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]
"...and I saw the new Phoenix Wright game, it looks just like the old ones! It's not even in 3D!"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq1jknZp0ic
"Mr. Butz! You say the new Phoenix Wright game,
Dual Destinies, available now on the Nintendo 3DS for $29.99, looks like we do now. This is a fatal contradiction in your testimony! In reality, we now look..."

"
Like this!! Fully rendered models with full animation!! The gameplay and the character you know and love, with a new visual twist!"
"Mr. Wright! My Mood Matrix is telling me Larry's surprised at the new level of detail given to the game, and what a deal it is to only cost $30! It's available at all major retailers with
physical copies, right?"
"Umm...funny story about that one...it's kinda only available digitally on the eShop...sorry about that."

(If only they know how lucky they had it...it was this way or no game at all!)"

Sure I guess, anyway here's the tuorial:

This game is pretty great so far.
I'm trying to think of any way edgeworth 2 might still come over
I think they already did 1, 2, and 3 but the art is teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerriblly redone
But I'm really enjoying it regardless
I'm starting to think the people in that village are supposed to have some kind of weird accent
Because there's just so many typos
as far as i can tell, when they originally made the games, the artist hand-drew all the art, and then they were traced over to make the sprites
and the "HD" iOS versions use the original art
without taking into account the fact that the original art was never intended to be published, and contains all sorts of weird errors and mistakes that were cleaned up in the sprite-making process
In particular, characters often have "seams" on their faces during talk-cycle animations, where they obviously just pasted an open mouth over the spot on the original drawing where a closed mouth was. and the worst part is, it's not like those errors show up on obscure sprites that only show up a few times, like a witness' cornered animation or something. They pop up in the dramatic anime close-ups and in Phoenix's signature pointing pose.
also the iOS versions of the games are riddled with typos, which i really don't understand because like... why didn't they just copy and paste from the DS games
if you don't have a DS they're passable versions of the games, and buying the full HD trilogy is... probably cheaper than buying the 3 DS games separately, but it's definitely the worst way to experience the series.

I only finished it a month ago, but imagining someone experiencing the end of PW3 for the first time on iOS with shitty art and tons of typos really bums me out
at the tail end of case 1 now, I think, and I'm about to take my first blind stab
it's very different from the spritework but it gives the games a different kinda feel that makes them feel more... hand-made I guess?
I was totally on board with the "new" art style until the errors started cropping up

Now they just need to put in how occasionally they can pass things to one another cause that seems super not allowed
Man, I really like the environment art in this game.
Well, shit.
What does this mean? Well the games Heroes of Might and Magic 1-3 (and Might and Magic 6-8) all take place in the same world, with some recurring characters that you get invested in. Heroes 4 takes place in a different world, but a crucial point in its backstory is that the world of 1-3 was destroyed. I know that certainly soured me, that all that time I spent saving the world went to waste (and canonically only like a few years after Might and Magic 8), cast aside so you can show off this new world when you could easily just have had it take place on the new world without mention. It's what they did for Heores 5 anyway. And the Might and Magic universe has tons of medieval level worlds as a result of an interstellar empire fallen low, so there's plenty to choose from. It's that kind of setting.
AJ commits a similar sin. A new Lawyer doing his own thing is neato, but doing it at the expense of Phoenix being disbarred can be painful, especially as this was like two months after his triumph over Godot and Dahlia. That wound isn't as deep these days since Phoenix is back in court, but the way that happens is AJ's second big sin.
AJ tries to please Phoenix fans, and to some it can be seen as falling between two stools. The story is pretty much about Phoenix uncovering the truth behind his disbarment and that trial, but framing it that way forces Apollo into a supporting role in his own game. So you have a game that's about Phoenix but not in the way we're used, and this means the new guy is largely a cog in Phoenix's plans. Which is a shame, because I like Apollo.
If I were writing the story, I'd have the first three cases be completely Feenie-free. Then case four starts with Phoenix cornering someone and presenting that evidence and getting disbarred for it. Then like a few weeks or months later Apollo has to investigate the follow up murder and coincidentally exonerate Phoenix in the process, leading to him joining the law firm at the end of the game.
That said I like Apollo Justice and the characters. But I can easily see where some parts would be sticking points for others.
Can you play old DS games on a 3DS? I probably missed out on some of the previous games in the franchise, like I don't think I ever played the ones where Edgeworth was the title character (is that a thing or did I just imagine they did that?)
Yes, I played DS games on my 3DS, including the first Edgeworth game.
What other games are must-plays? I guess I should check out the new Pokemon? I never finished the last one I played.
Also, I'm on Day 1 of Case 2's trial in PW5.
Oh and the judge is still the best character
I will fight anybody who says otherwise
Older games spoilers
I know a lot of people hated it but it was just so damn tense and the idea of having to defend a client you know is guilty was a little nerve-wracking
Even if they hadn't put Maya in danger it still would have been a nail-biter of a case
But having to delay things with Edgeworth while Gumshoe tried his best to find her so you wouldn't have to choose between the death of an innocent girl or the freedom of a murderer was so great
And to be honest, I didn't expect it at all; you only have innocent clients up to that point, and there's no reason to suspect that this new client is any different
It also cemented Edgeworth into Total Badass status
good one dude that would just make them not translate it at all
And the case in the second game where you
Also, I really don't think fans understand how lucky we are that a game about lawyering that's very text heavy got into the US at all.
