Savvy's Super-Ultra Ace Attorney Thread

Big BUMP!

Ace Attorney 5 officialy confirmed for the 3DS, as expected.

-Our favorite lawyer Phoenix Wright will be back as the main character.
-He has a new partner, a mysterious girl in yellow clothing who will be a central figure in the game.
-AA5 is said to take place one year after Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.
-Case one involves Phoenix defending a high-school age girl.
-The prosecutor is Wiston Payne's younger brother.
-The AA Investigations/GK2 team are the ones developing the game, Motohide Eshiro is the producer, Go Yamazaki is the scenario director, and Noriyuki Iwadare is on the music.
-The game will have a demo at this year's TGS.

Also, AA5 will be in full 3D, I guess that was obviously expected, this coming for 3DS and all but still, farewell my beautiful AA 2D Sprites.
I do admit though, the 3D graphics in this game looks pretty good (even better compared to PL VS AA) from what I can see in the scans. Now we just have to see this game in motion and see if they are just as good as the 2D or even better.

Anyway, I'm very happy by this big peice of AA news...now, let's see if Capcom decides to, you know, give us THIS game outside of Japan.

Also, while I'm personally glad Phoenix Wright is back on the spotlight, its a little too bad that Capcom didn't give Apollo Justice a second chance. Maybe it was because AJ is arguably the most controversial game of the series for various reasons. I'm one of the AA fans who disliked AJ (as far as story and characters goes at least) and I honestly wouldn't miss Apollo or any of the AJ characters (save for Olga Orly, I would love to have her return) at all but I do hope for the sake of the AJ fans that Apollo, Trucy and Klavier shows up at least once.

Anyway, AA creator Shuu Takumi is appearently not involved with AA5 but that makes sense since he is busy with Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney.

Speaking of that game, the latest issue of this week's Famitsu (where all this AA 5 info comes from) features a full-page ad for PL VS AA on its back cover. The ad itself is a puzzle. When the puzzle is figured out, it seems that the game's release date is revealed. If the puzzle has been deciphered correctly, the game may hit Japan on Nov. 29th.

I love Wright's new design in this game (tat VEST!).
Anyway, time to keep myself away from any and all things AA5 (I will check out the TGS coverage... but definitely nothing after that), no spoilers for me, no sir.

I am pleased.

Hopefully this will be a good game unlike the dry Investigations games. Hopefully these guys can do something good without Takumi watching over their shoulders. If not, at least we have Professor Layton X Ace Attorney coming soon.

It's coming out in the States and Europe, so y'all can rejoice.

I bet Capcom confirmed it this quickly just because of the worries when thinking back to AAI2 but still, this makes me happy.

November 29 has been confirmed as the release date for PL vs AA.
Here are scans and details.

A Court Records member recorded this AA5 segment from Capcom's livestream that focus on their upcoming games.
Some cool concept art (1:15 to 1:42 and 4:50 to 5:08) can be seen.
Also, the new assistant's name is mentioned at one point but it got blepped out, lol.

[Old Man Rupee]

Did you guys hear: if AA5 sells well enough, Capcom would consider releasing Edgeworth Investigations 2 outside of Japan!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE everybody buy AA5 as soon as it comes out!

[Leon]

I will be blunt for a moment. Don't believe Capcom's lies. If they were going to release it, they would have by now, he's just saying this to stir up the fanbase and get more sales for the suits back in Japan. The only possible way I can see this game coming over is if Japan makes an eShop or iOs version.

Double post for great justice.

An official trailer from the Tokyo Game Show for Ace Attorney 5.

Animations look pretty good.

Here is the subbed version of that lovely AA5 trailer. The silhouette of the new rival/prosecutor can be seen at the trailer's end.


Speaking of AA5, the game will have animated scenes! By none other then BONES! ;D Yes, the very same anime studio who are responsible for PLvsAA's animated scenes.

(BTW, notice that Kokone Kizuki, the new assistant, has a attorney badge on her lapel just like Nick, meaning she is a defense attorney as well.)

And speaking of PL vs AA, here is a subbed version of the TGS trailer.


And yes, its indeed true that at this point, GK2 (AAI2) can only come overseas if it comes to the eShop and/or be ported to iOS.

So, we finally have confirmation that Edgeworth and Trucy are back for AA5. Trucy is no big surprise, but Edgeworth was less expected. I'm glad to see them, but I hope they don't go overboard with the returning characters.

The Western releases for the game are going to be digital only. I, unlike some, can understand the rational behind the decision, but it still bums me out. I bought four of the prior games new (I got Investigations used because it was so different from the others, and I didn't want to pay full price...although I did get the first two at a discount), and would have happily forked out the full price for this when I got a 3DS. At least it will be a permanent (for the lifecycle of the 3DS, anyway) option for those who have the system...although I hope my 3DS doesn't kick the bucket. XD
