Downloaded. It's time!

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I hate these Christmas tree ornaments barely filling up the box.

Just a few minutes left...

 

[CoolS]

I must be dumb, but how do I solve it?

Spoiler

I've highlighted several parts of the trackmarks of the box, but that's not it apparently

Spoiler

The marks on the bandage.

 

[Artemisia]

Oh god, laughed so hard at this. where's the gif from?

no idea, I thought it was funny so I bookmarked it for later use.

 

[PikaED]

It is downloading, 2/3 of the way done!

 

[Cody_D165]

Downloaded.

See you all after the final case!

 

[Mzo]

Downloading aaahhhhhh!

Thank you, Atlus and Nintendo. Your eShop credit is the only reason I can stomach buying this amazing game this way.

 

[Frolow]

Wish Nintendo had an actual download meter instead of this box thing.

 

[dragonlife]

oh god its done downloading time to play oh god ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[The Bankslammer]

class until 2:30 this is killing me

 

[NotLiquid]

How long is it going to take until the Juniper and Apollo shippers come out in full force I wonder?

 

[HellBlazer]

Man, who would have thought it would take so long to download a game that's mostly text and static images? :/

Though I guess it's all 3D now... Capcom, go back to 2D for faster downloads!

 

[Kouichi]

My university's internet connection is actually be nice today and I'm almost finished downloading it! Gonna play it till class starts.

 

[podracer35]

Gonna download now, since I have my SMT IV/FE credit... I still am only halfway through AA2, which means I still have AA3, and AA4 to go through, and I haven't even bought 4 yet! >_< Progress will be slow because school, and I'm still fighting through White 2 before diving into Pokémon X/Y!

I feel horrible for buying this now and downloading it, especially if I'm not playing it for another... month(?), at least!

 

[Dorygrant]

So after all this waiting... My credit card is maxed out...

Noooooooooooooooo

Spoiler

If it was physical I could have gotten it from my guy 10 bucks cheaper no tax

 

[Xaero Gravity]

So I keep hearing conflicting reports regarding whether or not playing the previous games in the series is a requirement. If it actually is, how big of a requirement? Are we talking little jokes and references, or is it like jumping straight into MGS4? Sorry if this had already been answered.

 

[Poltergust]

Haha, same! Doesn't mean I won't be playing it.

True, but I also have a test in 4 hours, so I need to use my free time to study some more.

Well, I guess I could squeeze in 20 minutes before class starts. =P

MGS4...

 

[chickdigger802]

is case 1 lengthy or something short like 1-1?

 

[SmithnCo]

Downloading now! So glad I have a free day to dig into this.

 

[OceanBlue]

True, but I also have a test in 4 hours, so I need to use my free time to study some more.

Don't do it! You'll never put it down!

The Ace Attorney series does a generally good job in recapping things for newcomers. That said it's recommended you play through most of the games in order to get all the references, jokes and such, as well as experiencing really just how much the characters end up developing.

Occasionally there will be a case (notably in the original trilogy) which has a premise that's rooted in events transpiring in the previous games, but it tends to be explained. Even so the experience feels far more complete when you follow the characters from start to end.

 

[Javier]

Forced to use my iPhone as shared Internet at work to connect my 3DS. 30 minutes and only 5% downloaded. Ugh.

 

[demidar]

So this may be a newb question, but where can I download the DLC costumes? I couldn't see a DLC button on the eShop (NA region).

 

[Salsa]

downloadingggggf

gonna finish replaying apollo's last case before starting. Gonna be painful

 

[Shahadan]

Well case 1 was rather interesting toward the end.

 

[zulux21]

yay downloaded, opening was solid (boo chibi models on start up splash screen)

now to put it down as I have a dentist appointment... I want to object to it, but i just don't have enough evidence to support my objection ><;

 

[BlackJace]

Extremely jealous of everyone playing right now.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

DLC is downloaded inside the 3DS game, not directly from the eShop.

 

[IchigoSharingan]

Hot damn what a first case! Didn't think it'd get THAT tense. I'd have to say it's one of the better first cases the series has had. Even with the obvious culprit it was incredibly twisty. Considering the heavily condensed demo I'm surprised!

Knowing Ace Attorney's fluctuating quality in cases I can only hope that the rest of the cases live up to this.

Damn you! I won't be able to get this game until tomorrow. That just made my wait for it UNBEARABLE!

 

[rockmanjoe]

Man, I wish Hobo Phoenix would be a DLC costume.

Man, the presentation is amazing.

 

[Necrovex]

Game has been officially downloaded. I'm going to play it once I complete my replay of KOTOR.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Download, download, download. This wait. THIS WAIT.

 

[demidar]

DLC is downloaded inside the 3DS game, not directly from the eShop.

Oh okay, I just haven't seen any semblance of a title menu.

 

[CrazyDude]

Any word on when the dlc case will be released?

 

[NotLiquid]

Oh god dat DMC reference at the beginning of Chapter 2

 

[Salsa]

welp im outta this thread

 

[ss_lemonade]

I want to buy this, love the series but I still have pokemon to finish and I'm not a fan of eshop content for the 3ds. What do I do! T_T

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Damn, I should had gotten an avatar while they were hanging around. >_>

 

[Mafro]

Wish Nintendo had an actual download meter instead of this box thing.

If you do sleep mode download then it shows you the percentage downloaded when you tap the icon.

 

[CorvoSol]

Extremely jealous of everyone playing right now.

I'm dying. Can't even download until sometime after noon.

 

[PKrockin]

GAME DOWNLOADED. LET'S DO THIS.

 

[Damaniel]

The game is done downloading, but I can't actually play it for another couple hours yet...

 

[suzu]

Finally used that Fire Emblem + SMT IV money. Downloading now... Ahhhhhh!

 

[PKrockin]

Wow, this game sounds so much better with headphones.

 

[WiiredShawn]

I want to buy this, love the series but I still have pokemon to finish and I'm not a fan of eshop content for the 3ds. What do I do! T_T

Ace Attorney transcends Pokemon and politics. It's not a purchase, it's a commitment.

Goddamn, why do I have to teach today? Hopefully the fiance took a break from Rune Factory 4 long enough to start the download...

 

[Javier]

I want to buy this, love the series but I still have pokemon to finish and I'm not a fan of eshop content for the 3ds. What do I do! T_T

Buy it now even if you plan on starting it later, otherwise you miss the two-week window for free DLC.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Finally downloaded. It's time to do this.

 

[rekameohs]

Wow, this game sounds so much better with headphones.

That's generally the case with 3DS games. Dream Team with headphones sounds fantastic.

 

[Oichi]

Oh god dat DMC reference at the beginning of Chapter 2
