Ace Attorney 5 Screenshots

[Eric]

Whelp, guess I need to get a 3DS now, damn you Nintendo. Hopefully they release their new revision before this comes out.

[Julius Seeker]

Both this game and the Phoenix Wright Professor Layton crossover game are going to be playable at TGS. I would guess that TGS or around TGS is a likely time to announce any localization plans. Professor Layton is a property which has sold millions both in Europe and North America, and Phoenix Wright has sold hundreds of thousands - it would be kind of stupid not to localize them - Capcom has had a tendency to be late with those though.

I wouldn't say they'll have any new revision until 2014, since the 3DS XL just came out.

Don't forget about the cross-over with Professor Layton. At least you'll have 2 games to get for your 3DS.

BTW, I would suggest getting the XL. I got to play with one at Comic Con. It's amazing how much bigger that is.

That's what she said!

Shu Takumi wasn't fully involved in Ace Attorney 4 and it was the best selling in the series no? Should be ok....I'm excited still.

[Julius Seeker]

Well, gameplay wise it was the best, and it was strong story-wise as well and perfectly in line with the spirit of the series... Although Ace Attorney 3 was my favourite =)

[Eric]

3 is also my favorite.

[Shrinweck]

Agreed. They were definitely hitting their stride just before they started ignoring Phoenix nearly completely.

[Lox]

This means I either need to buy a 3DS, which I don't really want to do still/yet, or borrow one just to play this game, which seems like a much more likely scenario.

Either way...I can't wait for this. I enjoyed Apollo Justice, but I missed playing as Phoenix. I hope Maya makes an appearance though. And Pearl, too!

Geez, Eric, I feel for ya if you hear that on a regular basis ;-)

Yes this and the other localizations for the franchise pretty much clinched the 3DS as a future purchase for me... but probably a far, far into the future purchase.

TGS Trailer!

EEEEEEEE!

[Eric]

New trailer with subs!

Also it's Digital Download only! Zeus don't you dare boycott it or I'll hurt you!

Also this guy is confirmed for 5. ^_^

[Lox]

Since it's digital-only I'll have to buy a 3DS, I guess.

[Zeus]

Digital only means I will wait a long time for a deal to get it or some kind of sale. I sure as shit won't get it right away.

I'm not liking Nintendo forcing me into digital downloads by severely limiting their retail releases. Kinda surprising that it's them and not $ony or Microshaft pioneering this but it does kinda make sense at the same time. I'm trying to make a point by buying their shit used but their last few releases on the 3DS are VERY difficult to find used

[Eric]

Apparently it's getting an M Rating. :o The last 4 got Teen.
