I'm very happy to read that the perceive system is back! I enjoyed it a lot. One of them gave me serious trouble back then.
. I was this close to search for a guide.
To be honest that new emotion analyzer from the demo did nothing for me. I cannot see how it can offer any serious challenge.

Awesome, thanks! The DLC costumes comes out the very first day, right?
Yup, and they're free for a limited time.

2 weeks for the costumes. Supposedly we'll hear more about the DLC case when the game comes out.
Edit: Oops, meant to type 2 weeks. Still enough time for people who want it and it's 99 cents after that.

I didn't even know there was DLC.
Which is surprising, because no Shu Takumi.
Three weeks will be ample time since I'm gonna get this shit on day 1. Not sure if I will actually use them but it's free so whatevs.
I know, man. It's one of those things where I wish everyone could experience.
Well as long as they get into or get back into the series, that's cool.
Very limited. If you don't use a time machine to buy it, you're screwed. Cough up the dough, dude!.... Actually, what secretanchitman said!
There is :
1) bonus costumes (free for a limited time)
2) some sort of quizz, but only in Japan (won't be localised)
3) bonus case, as long as a regular case. WILL be localised, and will come later (you'll have to pay).
Since it's coming on Thursday, I presume it'll come at the same time as the weekly eShop update (otherwise they'd released it on Tuesday). Besides, there's no retail version, so it's truly a Downloadable title. Thefore, it'll probably gonna come along with the other downloadable titles for this week.

And damn, every time I think about this game, I'm like "Wow, it's actually coming out in less than 3 days!"... then I think about Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney, and I'm like "Holy f*ck, it's atually coming out Early 2014!". Sweet days
We will need a separate SPOILERS OT for those who have played every game in the series (except AAI2).
EDIT:
- On several occasions, animations will be played wrong, incorrect names in the text box will display, and there are actually more typos than the DS versions (with most of the typos that were in the DS versions not being fixed).
- The framerate in nearly every animation is reduced, leading to very limited animations and flip-flap mouth movements.
- At least two music tracks are missing (Pearl's Theme being the most notorious absence).
- Some CGs are missing. This ruins the atmosphere during the narration of certain scenes, including a crucial scene in the very last case.
- In the DS versions, you unlocked a piece of artwork by beating each case. In the iOS version, these artworks are unlocked from the beginning, which spoil some moments in the game (mostly surprise appearances by certain characters).
- The music for the first game is DS quality, but for the second and third game it's GBA quality. It's quite an striking difference in some cases.
- Case 1-5, which uses touch controls for its puzzles, plays terrible in general, with a lot of touch inputs not registering proper. One puzzle in particular needs to be solved in a very specific way, otherwise, the game will consider it a failure.
Well, they redrew all the sprites (traced over the top of the originals, presumably), and some of them look hideous. Framerate isn't great. Apparently some of the still image scenes have been cut. The music in AA2 and 3 is from the GBA version rather than the enhanced DS version. Some Engrish, even though the game was translated pretty well on the DS.
Overall a messy port, and should only be picked up as an absolute last resort.
It's opinionated but the art is iffy, the text and textbox is amateur-ish and some people feel the sound isn't as good as the DS versions.
Shitty ports. They're playable but get the DS versions if you can.

Stuff isn't synced well (certain animations that should play together just don't or lack the same effects), the front is pretty bad, text is retranslated and sounds a bit more robotic in places.
It's just not a great place to play the game if you have other options.

Oh damn, thought this was out lol. No physical copy sucks but I guess they're not expecting much in the way of sales :/
Wow thanks guys for the replies!
Don't worry I already played and beat al 4 ace attorneys on the DS, so I'm good. I was a bit curious that's all. I am a bit baffled how they can screw something like that up though.

I'll probably beat this game in a couple days... It's like reading a good book, you just can't stop!
They need to announce more DLC!
AND REMASTER THE OTHER GAMES IN 3D FFS

AND REMASTER THE OTHER GAMES IN 3D FFS
2D to 3D remakes are a much bigger deal than an HD remaster. It's basically a full remake.
Even moving from a 2D DS game to a 2D 3DS game is hard due to the extra pixel count on the 3DS.
I'm hoping for a 3D remaster as well. Would you guys want crime scenes and evidence remastered in 3D? I'm fine with a minimal-effort port job, as long as each game is $10 digitally. That would mean re-using assets that are used in AA5 for characters, and I guess leaving all the 2D evidence in 2D.
I don't trust Capcom to do anything better or more ambitious. I also don't want to pay $30 per remaster.

This is EXACTLY why Capcom can suck a fat cock. I get that these games might not be the most profitable thing ever, but that kind of logic just pisses me off. It's the same as Square saying "Well, rebuy Chrono Trigger for the 4th time and we might make a sequel!". I REALLY want to support this game, but I don't want to spend money on the e-shop because Nintendo is so far behind on how an online account system should work. If Capcom will put this on the vita, I'll buy a copy for me, and a copy for my old roommate, just to show support.

My Italian is limited to what I can figure out from my limited Spanish, so any detailed translations are appreciated.

It really isn't the same. They made a sequel. If the game doesn't sell, then there is no reason for them to keep bringing the games over. CApcom hasn't ever said anything like it directly, ( That I am aware of ) but we all know because it's just obvious, and the same way virtually every business works. When a product sells worse with each iteration, you have to stop selling it in that region (or cut costs to justify it... kinda like going digital download only. Huh, who would have thought?)
Oh, and AA5 is going to sell worse than the previous games based solely on the fact than the 3ds has a pitiful install base compared to the DS when apollo justice came out.
You think capcom would ever consider a vita version when they don't think it can sell well enough on the 3ds? Really?
You could always wait for a low framerate iOS version though, I suppose.

I've been replaying the first four games in the series over the past week. I'm on the last segment of the last case of JFA.
Something that really comes across this time around is simply how bad the translation is. There are a mind-boggling number of spelling and grammatical errors in this game. I don't know if it was a rush job or if the translation team just didn't have a great grasp of English but I'm coming across a lot of errors and it really takes me out of it.

I have a pessimistic feeling that once the launch hype wears off, this end up about as good as AAI. Which is to say goooooood, but a huge drop from what you'd have gotten with Shu Takumi.

That's...weird, because Phoenix Wright translations are considered among the best. They managed to keep the character's personality and funny jokes across very different languages and cultures. I certainly didn't catch any grammatical and spelling error, but again, English is not my first language...
Are you playing the iOS version by chance? They actually managed to add many errors for this version.
But maybe I never realized there were also many errors in the NDS version. That's one of the blessings of not being a native English speaker.

The second game certainly has the most typos out of all of the DS versions. That's not to say the translation is bad, which is sort of a different issue.
I only saw very minimal grammatical errors when I replayed it a couple months ago. Most noticeably, were some wrong instances of word placement, missing names and maybe an extra letter or two. Nothing big that would take me out of the experience. I can't speak for other people though, so that may be a deal breaker.
I always play them on the DS and did not get the IOS version, if that's what he's talking about.

How many blocks does the game take? I have 7000 free, but and maybe I can free up some more...

Bah, whatever. Let him futz about with the crossovers and Ghost Trick. If he wants out don't let him back in
Pretty sure you're good
Japanese file size was 4,648 blocks, or around 580 MB. The US version is suppose to be slightly smaller (4,435 blocks), from what someone else said.
Edit: No idea how big the DLC costumes are, though I imagine it'd be quite small.
You wouldn't say that if you had played AAI2.

Nope, playing the DS version. I don't even own an iDevice but I'd never get it on there anyway.
The characterization is good, but the spelling and grammatical errors really jump out at me... and there are a LOT of issues with it. The biggest problem seems to be words that are simply used incorrectly. One I saw just last night, I wish I had written it down, because I actually laughed due to how bad it was.
One that came up repeatedly was in the Kurain Village case... where in the Channeling Room, Phoenix notes that there is an "alter" that seems to be part of the ritual (as opposed to "altar.") In the last case, the judge says: "Then the murder is...?" (as opposed to, "Then the murderer is...?) and so on.
There's a lot of them. It doesn't ruin the game by any stretch but it does pull me out of it temporarily because I find it pretty jarring.
Well, looks like it got pulled, and unfortunately I haven't got a tab with it open.
EDIT: Google Cache to the rescue. Here's a pastebin:

Cheers. It would be nice to have this info in the first post.
AAI2 is really good. Not up to AA3, but still really good.
