Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth

In a surprise announcement from the latest edition of Famitsu (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=274783) magazine Capcom have revealed an Ace Attorney spin-off dubbed Perfect Prosecutor.

Again a DS exclusive, Perfect Prosecutor features a new law adventure game where you act on behalf of the prosecution rather than the defence.

You will as usual play as Miles Edgeworth from the original Ace Attorney series as you investigate crime scenes looking for inconsistencies and overlooked evidence, using a brand new search and deduction system.

The game will also feature Detective Dick Gumshoe as a main character.

That's all the currently available info, but it sounds pretty awesome to me!

[Nic Xtreme]

Words cannot even begin to express how excited I am right now, or how much I am smiling. :D

[borgster101]

Oh Hell Yes!! :D

[Cerebral]

This is ****ing amazing, but I hope to God they don't reuse the old shitty sprites.

[Nic Xtreme]

:(

I love the sprites!

It looks like its in 3rd person, judging from the scans!

[Quatters]

Awesome.

Miles is bad arse!

[Watchers]

Wow. They certainly are pimping the franchise for all it's worth.

Not that I'm complaining though ^_^

[Nic Xtreme]

More Dick Gumshoe = win.

Also, more pimping of greatest series ever = win.

This game will be the best! What a happytimes issue of Famitsu, showing this off, and announced Band Brothers 2 for release on June 26th ^_^

Very exciting! Apollo Justice was probably the best in the series so far (I'd still list Ace Attorney as the best, but that might be a nostalgia thing), so I'm pretty optomistic that this will be awesome.

[Gio]

The point-and-click parts seem great, exactly what I expected to be the next step in the series. Though I thought it would turn up on Wii..

[Nic Xtreme]

I still think they won't change the core Ace Attorney games' gameplay style - I think they'll keep them as they always have been.

ZOMG CAN'T WAIT I WANT A RELEASE DATE!!!!!!!111!!11!

[Nic Xtreme]

Let's hope this ties up the loose strings surrounding Edgey & Gumshoe's stories, and links in with Apollo Justice...

This game BOGGLES THE MIND.

[UC1]

Pretty hooked on Phoenix Wright at the moment, will be picking this one up for sure =]

Hard to tell really, but it looks a fair bit better than the GBA games.

[scoz]

ARRRRRGGHHH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!

All my life my favorite games barely have had sequels. Lylat wars, no real sequels Perfect dark no real sequels (I refuse to awknowledge the existence of that xbox piece of shit), golden sun, no third sequel. Phoenix Wright... 5 SEQUELS AND COUNTING! It's on baby, it's on.

[Game Boy116]

Ah awesome, thats great news.

Still gotta get a copy of Trials and Tribulations sometime, but awesome they're doing a spin-off based around Edgeworth and Gumshoe.

[Dirkage]

Holy shitting ****. I love Edgeworth so hard.

[madmangohan]

Edgeworth was so awsome in the games. This is gonna be great.

[Lazlow]

In all honesty after four games, they'd want to massively overhaul the entire game - engine, sprites, audio. Otherwise, I'll just pass.

[borgster101]

Judging from the magazine images ... this one is going to be a bit different, in those very categories.

[igotnewsuper8systemWRONG!]

Great news, though I really wish they would bring the series to Wii - complete with outstretch arm gestures when you yell out objection.

I don't. Then I'd have to buy a Wii again :p Continuous DS sequels ftw! Or maybe PSP so they can whack in some anime FMVs and high-res graphics, it'd be interesting

As I said on Evolution, it reminds me of Broken Sword. It's nice to see a totally new overhaul as the series was starting to feel a bit stale despite the excellent characters & story

[Nic Xtreme]

I have reached "maximum tolerance and purity" in that all I care about is the excellent characters and story! As such, I would keep playing the games in their current form, and long as the stories and characters were written as well as they are at the moment!

[Lazlow]

They are written well??

Shit I feel they could cut down on some of the horribly long winded dialog.

[schnappy]

"Perfect Prosecutor" sounds like a wierd Japanese game involving the law and school girls. 'cos every JAP game involves school girls.

[borgster101]

I don't. Then I'd have to buy a Wii again :p
You shouldn't have sold it to begin with! :p

Though it would be interesting to see how the game could work on Wii, you could easily play the whole game with just the Wiimote, though outstretched arm objections are probably not as effective as "yelling" Objection!

[Nic Xtreme]

Shit I feel they could cut down on some of the horribly long winded dialog.

Nooooooooooooo! After sitting through some of the most bullshit of JRPGs, dialog-wise, I found that the AA games' writing is excellent in terms of immersing me in the character-driven action :D

[nkbswe5]

According to Courts Records (An Ace Attorney Fan Site):
it looks like they have confirmed that Gyakuten Kenji will not have a trial portion.

That's not what I wanted to hear

[Nic Xtreme]

? Interesting, I thought the initial translation mentioned Prosecuting scenes <_<

[Gio]

Court Records can S my D!

[madmangohan]

Awesome.

[AyatollaofRocknRolla]

A Edgeworth game. Awesome!

I have to to wonder why they wouldn't have trials though. I want to play as Edgeworth in court.

[Space_Monkey]

OBJECTION... looks fantastic

[aubergine]

I could tell you how you can but it would be a terrible spoiler.

[Cerebral]

Objects then agrees.

[TAT]

Objects then agrees.
Should have said "HOLD IT!", imo...

[KickyFunkFresh]

I hope we don't have to wait too long for this to be released. After playing the 4 previous titles back to back, it'll be strange to have to wait for the next one.

[Nic Xtreme]

Know Japanese? Play a demo of 2009's GOTY here! (http://www.capcom.co.jp/gyakutenkenji/trial/index.html)

EDIT: It's been too long since I heard the sweet text sounds... <3

I don't know a single word of japanese but that's not going to stop me from playing it :p

[topaz]

I was just thinking about this game today! Hope it'll come out & translated in 09.

[/backslash]

Isn't the jap version going to have dual languages? Or am I thinking of another game?

[Nic Xtreme]

Only the DS ports of the GBA games has dual language support. Apollo Justice didn't feature it, and I'm sure this won't either.

[/backslash]

Goddamnit I wish I knew japanese! :( I'd pick this up in a nanosecond

[FrozenSoul80]

It really hurts we will never see something that awesome released here :(

[strider_ani]

This is one game I wont be saying OBJECTION! too. Maybe to the release dates though.

[/backslash]

I might buy it, then sell the game for the pure awesomeness. But the price on YesAsia is listed at US$180, eep

[FrozenSoul80]

T-that's three times the cost of the game!! What the hell, are the bonus features made of an endangered species?

[/backslash]

It'll be cheaper on PA but I doubt I'd pay more than AU$150. I think the case is made from ivory :p

[AranchineD]

It really hurts we will never see something that awesome released here :(

It's because of that that I feel no guilt about pulling an Aran with DS games like this. Just need an English version in any country, and I'm happy.

[UC1]

Trailer and screens from Captivate. (http://www.jeuxactu.com/article-37037-captivate-gyakuten-kenji-en-occident.html)

[AranchineD]

Looking good though.

[Tukenstein]

I might just put those Rudd Bucks to good use and buy that special edition. Should make for good Japanese practice over the holidays! =D

[VanAce]

Thats not helping the Australian economy!

[borgster101]

But it's helping the global economy, it's a global problem so we need a global solution! Import away! :p

Besides importing Japan will indirectly help the Australian economy anyway, it will allow the Japanese to buy more Australian exports (like beef) in return! YAY!


Trailer looks awesome, whilst there's no court this time (would have been interesting to play the court on the other side) .. this looks like a nice change to the gameplay, to make it something a lot more different than what we're used to :)

[UC1]

Can I just point out that the game isn't called Perfect Prosecutor. That was just a guess at what the translation would be.

[Jickle]

Indeed it's not. But it should be, because that would have been an awesome name.

Still, I guess I'll change the thread title.

I think it still should have been Kickass Prosecutor :p

[AranchineD]

Miles Edgeworth **** People's Shit Up In A Courtroom

[aubergine]

I left Perfect Prosecutor in the thread title so people searching for the old name would find this thread.

[VanAce]

The game has finally gotten a release period for Europe and USA. Also it will be called Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/ace-attorney-investigations--miles-edgeworth-laying-down-the-law-across-pal-territories-this-winter

[topaz]

This game will be released soon and I...JIZZED. IN. MY. PANTS.

18/02 is the local date, can't wait!!

[FrozenSoul80]

That's great and all, but why do we still not have a local release for Trial and Tribulations?

[topaz]

That's great and all, but why do we still not have a local release for Trial and Tribulations?

No idea, it's probably a lost cause at this point. My guess is that the Aussie distributor didn't think it would sell, since Apollo Justice was already released a few months prior by the time T&T was finally released in Europe.

[FF Freak]

That's rather annoying and disappointing for the people who haven't had a chance to play it considering T&T had probably one of the best storylines/cases in the series.

Can't wait for this Miles Edgeworth game though. Been counting down the days with anticipation.

[Jickle]

Trials and Tribulations will come to WiiWare, at least.

[Clift]

Quick question; Can I just pick up any of the Ace Attorney's and away I go? Or would you guys recommend starting with one in particular? (Either for story purposes or because it's "better"). :)

You really want to play them in order, as there is a story line and character development, and you will totally get more out of it. Apollo Justice should also be saved until after finishing Phoenix Wright.
I also think the first one is the best anyway, from memory.

I concur. Definitely play the first one at least. After finishing that you'll wanna play the other three :)

[Jickle]

With any luck I'll have this by tomorrow. Super-excited.

Give us your holy impressions! How is it?

The first 10 minutes have been pretty good. :p

[/backslash]

I would play my copy if it weren't for the fact its entirely in japanese <_< Haven't touched my DSi in months, getting slightly worried about the lack of good games coming out

[topaz]

Cmon play-asia!! Hopefully mine will arrive sometime next week...

[/backslash]

If I do order it I'll order it from MyMemory for $31 with free shipping which'll also arrive within 7 days :)

[borgster101]

It's out locally this week right? Awesome!

I shall buy this, but probably won't actually get around to playing it straight away.

[McChimp]

This arrived at work on Wednesday in the same box as AvP. My reaction? "OHMYGOD! Miles Edgeworth!!!!"

[Natrak]

It's pretty awesome, although so far I miss the Court Battles (mostly for the Judge) and Miles isn't as entertaining as Phoenix. On the bright side, though, lots of Gumshoe!

[Cerebral]

Loving all the investigative/logical deduction stuff. Gumshoe is awesome.

[FF Freak]

Miles probably isn't as entertaining as Phoenix but it has a lot of the same styled humour that was in the original phoenix games. Nothing like the underwear jokes they threw into Apollo Justice. Midway through case 2 and loving this. I gotta go back and replay the previous games.

[Jickle]

I'm part way into Chapter 3 - I was a bit concerned over how samey it is to begin with but the humour is starting to ramp up now and making me forget my concerns. The writers and translators always do an excellent job. I am, however, finding it a bit easier than usual - I haven't been stumped, or even really had to think about anything for longer than a few seconds, yet. The game has a nasty habit of heavily implying which piece of 'testimony' you need to present evidence on, which takes out a bit of the fun.

[aubergine]

So long as it's better than Arse Apollo.

I've considered buying a DS again to play this.

[Cerebral]

God the Proto Badger is creepy.

[McChimp]

God the Proto Badger is creepy.

I had to do a double-take then, as I thought you'd written 'Procto Badger'.......gave me shivers, and not the good kind.

[/backslash]

Up to the 2nd episode of the 2nd chapter (1st episode was pretty short, like they normally are). Its enjoyable - better than Apollo Justice and its more rewarding being able to walk around the environment & find stuff. I like it how there's moving animations now, whether it be the clouds flying past through the windows of the plane or someone waving their finger - gives it the illusion that its more interactive instead of static images

[FF Freak]

up to third episode of chapter 3 and found a rather nice easter egg. when you return to the Wild west area head right and you can enter the main gate area. If you keep heading right so that you're standing on the bridge, you can see Phoenix, Maya and Pearl in a rowboat in the background.

[aubergine]

Once you've had a Procto Badger you won't go back. Or forwards. You pretty much lose your legs.

[Cerebral]

Loving the constant 'Ngwoooh' face Edgeworth pulls when Oldbag appears.


Also Ema! Ngwoooh.

[AyatollaofRocknRolla]

Argh! Totally forgot about this game. *orders*

[/backslash]

Lot of quietness for this game, makes me think that nobody's really bothered about it anymore. I'm on the 3rd episode now and I'm gradually losing my attention, the storyline just isn't as good anymore (the new characters aren't that interesting) and I think I actually enjoyed the courtroom system more than the 'open' world.

Its still a good game yet feels average at the same time

[FrozenSoul80]

I'd be talking about it, but I haven't played Trials yet so I'm reluctant to pick it up.

I'm up to the 4th case at the moment, it's pretty good. You're right in that there aren't any real strong/consistent characters like there were in the PW series, just a bunch of cameos. The writing is good, but the overarching narrative boils down to 'Miles Edgeworth kicks ass', and not much else.

4th case has a bit of courtroom drama btw

[Jickle]

I'd partway through the 5th case. It's definitely the weakest link in the series (keep in mind I really liked Apollo Justice), but it's still solid.

[topaz]

I'm avoiding this thread in case of spoilers...

Almost finished the 2nd case now, I don't have much complaints at the moment, just glad to have a new AA game ^_^

[FF Freak]

I finished it last week and am kinda amazed I didn't post that I had. I was kinda disenchanted to the end. It didn't feel like it lived up to the Ace Attorney series but it was definitely better than Apollo Justice.

I have bought it but I haven't started playing it yet ... by the time I start, you'll probably all be finished .. so I'll just come in here and post to myself! :p

Well there's no real spoilers because we're not as interested as talking about Phoenix & Maya :p

Usually I'm the last one to finish these sort of games. I'm pretty sure I didn't bother finishing Apollo Justice, got fairly close though but I couldn't be bothered putting up with that kid

[topaz]

Well there's no real spoilers because we're not as interested as talking about Phoenix & Maya :p


Yeah I miss them *cue Maya sad face*. We need another PW game that's built up from scratch on the DS.

One more case to go. The fourth case was friggin awesome, especially the revelations at the end.

I really hope they give us some details and screens for Gyakuten Saiban 5 this year!!

That sort of news would be godly...but Only if it's Phoenix with Maya and Pearl again rather than Apollo.

[topaz]

That sort of news would be godly...but Only if it's Phoenix with Maya and Pearl again rather than Apollo.

I prefer the original cast too but I'm not getting my hopes up. I certainly wouldn't mind another game with Apollo & Trucy, and since we never got to know Apollo very well, they can really flesh out his back story and origins with the next title.

[AranchineD]

And the story from the first Apollo Justice game is completely unfinished, so I'm pretty sure the next game is going to continue that saga.

[Banjo Tooie]

The only good part of Apollo Justice was this song:

pUwJfVn9Nq4

I would honestly just leave the song running for a while before continuing with the game. Oh, and the Apollo Justice trailer was tenfold better than the actual game:

zs-WQOaQRXw

[Jickle]

So am I the only one who actually really liked Apollo Justice? The last case was pretty lame, but I liked the first three a whole lot...

[topaz]

So am I the only one who actually really liked Apollo Justice? The last case was pretty lame, but I liked the first three a whole lot...

Yeah, I liked it but can't say I REALLY liked it. Ironically the last case from that game was my favourite though. *shrug*

[Natrak]

I quite enjoyed Apollo Justice (in fact I really liked the whole wristband thing), just not as much as the Phoenix Wright titles.

[topaz]

Finished! My fav quote in the game is probably (paraphrased): "I guess short people have feelings too!" XD

Now to wait for the next game, which is probably around 1-2 years away :(

[Jickle]

My favourite quote so far is Lang's whole thing in Episode 5 when :

He gives a birthday gift to one of his officers, because it is the officer's young brother's wife's younger brother's birthday. Awesome.

[scoz]

Definitely a step up from Apollo (not that I didn't like Apollo), in fact it's probably the best in the series apart from the first for me. As usual the last case stomps on all the previous ones. I really liked all the fan service, particularly the references to a certain cactus... heh :D

[topaz]

Huzzah! A new AAI game announced:

http://www.siliconera.com/2010/09/07/eureka-ace-attorney-investigations-2-announced/

This ain't GS5 but I'm still excited!!

[borgster101]

Oooh nice! :)

I would prefer Ace Attorney 5 though.
