The Gyakuten Saiban / Ace Attorney Thread

[Hypershell]

Well, wasn't that some like quiz or something about some Japanese stuff? I can imagine that it wasn't considered common knowledge to the US so they cut it. Not that they couldn't have rewritten the scenario to use something more common knowledge based but hey that would've taken effort and you know Capcom on the concept of effort in recent history. Besides, I know that people would've bitched because something was rewritten/changed from the original version just because people do that, regardless if it would've been a good change or not.

Someone will always [sonic slicer], ergo if bitching is a reason to do nothing, nothing would ever happen.  And yeah, nobody will EVER convince me that they have not had to change subject matter in the series previously.

Even if they did leave the quiz as-is, to quote The Cave, "A sloppy mind uses the internet."

Ace Attorney Trilogy confirmed for US release this Winter.

Well that's a nice surprise. I can't wait to pick it-

Oh, its Digital-Only. AGAIN. Thanks Capcom!

[Phi]

Okay, so it's just called Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy. I don't know why the article says "HD" when the 3DS can't output that.

Digital-Only... sigh. In this case, though, I'm not too pissed off because I already have the physical copies of the original games anyway. It would've been nice to have Trilogy in physical form, as well, but it's not a huge loss.

Ace Attorney 5, on the other hand, I still [tornado fang]ing wanted that in physical form.

This. So much this.

[Police Girl]

You can finally pre-order Layton vs. Ace Attorney.

$31 isn't a bad price at all. No sir.

[Phi]

Huh, that is much cheaper than I thought it would be.

Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies (5) - iOS / iPad Air Gameplay (Full HD/1080p) [iPhone / iPod touch]

[OBJECTION MAN]

Coming out for mobile? Well [parasitic bomb]. That's the one I want then. Praying for Android release, but probably won't happen.

[Police Girl]

Holy [parasitic bomb] that was quick

Of note, the whole game is $15, Bonus Case is $5, costumes are $1, and the app gives the first case for free.

[Phi]

$15 is a total steal.

Why?

Why must we have to deal with another Payne?

Hahaha. He's back. He's ALWAYS back.

[Police Girl]

[Phi]

Eh, December... whatever, I can wait.

[Subbed!] Dai Gyakuten Saiban - Spring 2015 Trailer

GET HYYYYYPED

[Dr. Wily II]

That's a cute Watson...

[Archer]

Yeah I'm real hyped for a game that might not even get an English release.

[Phi]

That has, indeed, crossed my mind.

Still, that won't stop me from being excited at how good this looks.

On a side note, this seems to be taking pages from PLvsAA, rather than AA5. I don't know why I didn't see that sooner.

[Archer]

On the other hand even if it did get an English release the assistant probably wouldn't be voiced by HanaKana anymore so it's lose-lose for me.

Don't get me wrong the game looks amazing but I can't get myself too excited for a game I might not ever play.

[Phi]

Yeah, can't blame you for that.

[Sakura Leic]

Well it seems we don't have a General Ace Attorney Thread for me to post this.

[Phi]

As previously announced/leaked, AA6 takes place in a foreign country which Phoenix visits "for a certain goal."It also mentions that the people in this country have some sort of belief in the spirits of the dead. While there, the old Wright luck kicks in and he finds himself wrapped up in a certain case when his tour guide is arrested.

Phoenix goes to see the trial, but when he sees there's no defense attorney and the judge is relying on things like an "oracle of spirits" (insert your own Zelda joke here) to hand down a guilty verdict immediately, Phoenix objects and takes the defense's bench.

Character-wise, that tour guide's name is Bokuto Tsuani (boku to tsua- ni -> "On a tour with me"), a young energetic monk-in-training. Once he gets on the topic of tours, he can't stop, but that's not much use for him in the trial.

Also appearing is the mysterious, strong-willed woman in the art above; the magazine states she is neither a witness nor a prosecutor nor a judge, but rather a "fourth role" in the courtroom and this game's "key person", like Athena in AA5. (To be very clear: it does not say she's Phoenix's assistant, just reuses the "key person" term.)

As for trials themselves, as previously shown, the courtroom has a large "water mirror" which plays a part in a new system they're keeping under wraps. The magazine also seems to suggest there may be other small changes from the usual courtroom antics. This new system will be playable at TGS 2015.

What's more, during the interview Yamazaki
explains that in this country, there are prosecutors, but no defense attorneys - defendants must use a "certain object" to defend themselves.

In the interview, the developers discuss how the game's theme is a "courtroom revolution" and how they felt Phoenix was in a position where he didn't really have anyone who could match up to him in Japan, so that was part of the reason they moved him into the wider world.

They also hope that trials in a court where the usual "rules" don't play will help give a sense of urgency to the game that they couldn't get in just a plain Japanese trial.

With regards to the game overall, the developers heard a lot of complaints that AA5 was too easy due to the many hints characters gave, so they're aiming to let the player enable/disable hints on their own, and to avoid direct clues like in AA5. And while development's still fairly early on, they hope to make a game to surpass the previous entries, and to "betray the player's expectations - in a good way!"

This couldn't be a better time for me to get a (regular-sized) New 3DS. Definitely gonna pick-up the 3DS remastered version of the first three games.
