Information yanked from GAF:

~ Shu Takumi, the director of the series, is not involved with development...(Probably because he's working on the 5th game of the main series...)
~ Story takes place around Trials and Tribulations (Phoenix's era)...
~ More familiar characters besides Edgeworth and Gumshoe will appear in the game...
~ The game is mostly focused on investigation (though it never actually says anything about a lack of trial)...
~ Development progress: 40%

T&T era, cool. I always thought the investigation aspects of the series were it's weakest point. Trying to figure out where to do next was always frustrating.

"The game is mostly focused on investigation (though it never actually says anything about a lack of trial)"

Ugh, boo. Figuring stuff out in court is what the game's all about. This might as well be some kind of "spot the difference" game Namco might make.

She has small hands

The better to whip you with.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #32 on:** April 10, 2008, 02:59:40 PM »

What do you have against women with small hands? =(

vudu · « **Reply #33 on:** April 10, 2008, 03:01:03 PM »

The fool with the foolishly small hands asks foolish question to fools.

Ahahaha, I see what this is...

You're exhibiting reaction formation, how cute!

For my prize I want a photo of vudu kissing a picture of Franziska!

I'm suing the both of you for irrelevant bumping

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #38 on:** May 05, 2008, 11:39:56 PM »

Uhhh, UHHHH...

Have a...trailer? =)

MEGA-BUMP!!

There's a demo up on the Nintendo Channel! Go get it now!!

It's short (~10 min.) and it's mostly reading (like all Ace Attorney games) but it shows off some of the new mechanics nicely. There's a new ability called Logic where you connect two (or more) pieces of evidence to create a new piece of evidence and another called Contradiction where you use a piece of evidence you've collected to pin-point constrictions while investigating.

From what I can tell, if you like the Phoenix Wright games but feel they started to get a bit stale this new game might shake things up enough to warrant a second look.

EDIT: Yeah, so NWR posted impressions for the demo. They're much more detailed than mine.

I played the flash version a few months back, and I was pretty impressed with the new Logic mechanic. But I find that the problem with the Ace Attorney games is their lack of replay value.

Still, they are good games.

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #41 on:** February 16, 2010, 05:57:39 AM »

It ships today. Please post if you see it on shelves!

Peachylala · « **Reply #42 on:** February 16, 2010, 06:55:03 PM »

Picked up a copy of it, enjoying it so far.

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #43 on:** February 16, 2010, 07:18:14 PM »

I'm playing it now, it's rad

Stratos · « **Reply #44 on:** February 16, 2010, 09:38:45 PM »

I just got the demo and I like the new parts they added.

Shecky · « **Reply #45 on:** April 14, 2010, 02:09:57 AM »

Aw crap, been busy and out of the loop and this finally comes out.... which means it will probably be impossible to find a new copy at a sane price.

Stratos · « **Reply #46 on:** April 14, 2010, 03:21:06 AM »

Still normal price on Amazon.

I want to wait to get it until I catch up in the series. I playing the WiiWare ones and then I'm getting the last DS one and this so I get them all in order.

IceCold · « **Reply #47 on:** April 18, 2010, 04:48:40 PM »

Okay so I've been playing through this. It's good.. not as awesome as the Phoenix games but still above average. I guess I should stop waiting for an Ace Attorney game to capture the same magic as the first PW did. But there are moments which provide some hope. I just ran across this one and it's awesome.

Kay: And remember, you have to yell, "Badger GET!" each time, or it doesn't count!

Finally got around to finishing the game. It's cute, has quite a bit of fanservice, and introduces some interesting new characters that work well as foils to the tenured cast members. Overall a much easier difficulty level than previous entries, I think. Overarching story is more detached than previous games in the series; this is both a good and a bad thing, but it's probably the best choice they could have made.

Still not quite sold on the character of Kay Faraday, but I'll have to accept her existence.

Shecky · « **Reply #49 on:** June 19, 2010, 10:08:14 AM »

Just finished the game... very well done. Even von Karma is toned down and easier to tolerate even, dare I say, likable. Gumshoe seems a bit more exaggerated than ever and could use a touch of that other detective if you ask me. Anyone remember how Edgeworth suggests switching places - becoming a defense lawyer... it's funny how this game makes you feel more like a defense attorney than the PW ones did. Nice hidden throwbacks here and there too... especially if you remember the dialog from the first game. I ab-SO-lutely enjoyed it
