Thanks, I'll try it later today, but I swear I marked that location but I still got penalized. Maybe it's cuz I was sleepy before I stopped at that part.

Case 3 2nd day of trial beggining. Hahahaha this case keeps giving.
Case 2 was great! Dragged a little but I quite enjoyed it, a tons of twists and turns that kept on giving, even if it felt like a Case 3 per the usual series standards. Also, Jinxie is adorable and I love her.
One thing really stood out to me near the ending though,
One thing really stood out to me near the ending though,
I had no idea the final segment of court introduced a mechanic in the game play where you had to weed out evidence in a Danganronpa-esque event hotline. That was fucking awesome and I loved how much it made you actually think things through.
Right.
I can't think of how the killer got in either since Tenma had apparently swallowed the only key before getting knocked out.
Wow at the Case 3 opening, kind of freaky.
The way the three students circulated around the dead teacher had me believing some Children of The Corn shit was going on.
Isn't it possible that L'belle had the key on hand and made him swallow it while unconscious in order to dispose of it? I forgot whether it was mentioned that Tenma swallowed the key willingly.
I'm pretty sure
Tenma said he swallowed it willingly in order to prevent the real killer from obtaining it.

My 3DS died last night, something internal is completely screwed and the console keeps switching off. Fortunately it is under warranty and they have replaced the console but I seem to have come across a new problem
I'm using the same SD card as before (the one with AA5 on it, among other things), added all my details to the new system, linked my eshop account etc. but it seems I can't redownload AA5 without PAYING for it again, a game I only bought 2 days ago. My eshop balance from before is gone also and it's now down to £0.00
Is there anything I can do here guys? Gonna be mighty pissed if I spent £20 for nothing

Reasons to play earlier AA games before AA5:
- You'll get the most out of each respective game in regards to story, character development, fanservice, etc
Reasons to play AA5, and then go back to earlier AA games.
- Absolutely none.
Simple as that. It's not like the earlier games are dated compared to AA5. If you've never played the series, there is zero reason to start with any game other than the first one.

Probably one of the better transformations in the series and making me feel like "this isn't even my final form"

The HD trilogy needs a lot more than a simple bug fix to be worthwhile. It's a mess and should not be anyone's first playthrough of the series. The DS and WiiWare versions are still the only way to go, IMO.
Some reasons were listed in this great guide listed way back on page 11.
Strongly disagree. Get people to experience the series however they can. If they like it, they'll move onto Apollo Justice and realize how much better the presentation is compared to iOS. This is what I did, and even went back and bought the DS games because I really liked the series.
There's nothing really wrong with the iOS release though, honestly. The game is still intact.

was totally hoping apollo would hop on a skateboard and start doing some XTREME LOGICAL DIVING
anyways, super excited to start the 3rd case. game is absolutely delivering so far, and the intro sequence to case 3 has me intrigued.

Missing animations, wrong animations, missing music would disagree with you. Intact implies it has all the content from the original release, which it does not. The "HD" graphics also make me want to stab my eyes with a letter opener.
Well,
if he was forced to swallow it unconsciously, then he wouldn't have known it was in his stomach to regurgitate it out. Not only that, but L'belle placed Tenma in the hidden chamber, and then he opened it up again to let Filch out which meant he needed the key. If L'belle did have the key then, then Tenma couldn't give the key to Apollo in the Detention Center.

So, when's that DLC case come out? I heard the best point to play it was after Case 2, which I'm about to begin.
Also, my favorite animation so far is probably Athena's thinking animation where she plays with her earring. So good.

(Talking about case 2 ending here)
I don't want to handwave off Tenma at all but after its revealed that he was unconscious in the forbidden chamber, does any of his testimony even hold up anymore? He was obviously filling in the blanks in his memory as he went along whether consciously or sub-consciously. I think L'belle forced him to swallow it unconsciously and Tenma just filled in the gaps when he regurgitated it
Let's be real though, when the demon bird possessed him it needed to snack on the closest black piece of metal
Its not that you need to play the DLC case between 2 and 3, its just you should already have case 2 under your belt when going into the DLC case so that you have already been introduced to all of the cast of characters.
Edit: ......damn double post, also to answer your question as well. I don't believe there has been mention yet but I'd imagine it'll realese within the month.
If you compare L'Belle's build, greenish hair, purple outfit and the forced laugh... yeah. When he appeared during the trial I was like "woah the Joker making a cameo in Ace Attorney".
Finished the second case and man it was gooooooooooooood. Best things about the case are Blackquil's hawk sitting on top of the Judge's head (loved the exoression) and Blackquil's animation. Right Justice-dono?
The Amazing Ninetails twist was awesome, didn't see that one coming.
Beautiful yet functional.
That's my favorite animation. Well, it's a close second behind Filch's.

This is the only game this year that has stuck a grin on my face for the entirety of playing it.
CASE THREE ENDING SPOILER:
CASE THREE ENDING SPOILER:
Means writing his punishments on the blackboard and getting booed by the gallery was the funniest thing I've seen this year. HOLY LOL.
Case 3 Day 1:
Klavier is as handsome as ever but I almost feel like Apollo and Klavier should have switched up voice actors. He sounds a lot more younger and "American" than he did in AA4. Not getting that much of a "German rock star" disposition from him. In contrast Apollo almost has a deeper voice than Wright.
Welcome to Nintendo DD. You were supposed to get the system repaired by Nintendo, I guess. It's hard to believe you weren't aware of their online shit by now.
You can try calling up customer service, but it's a complete crapshoot. If they don't want to cooperate I suggest being relentless and going all the way up to a manager.
Its the nervous smile that gets me rolling at the end there.
You can just read his mind "Come on guys, this is good enough punishment, right?" Laughed really hard at "30% salary cut"

Doesn't seem so bad to me. If you're willing to spend £20 on AA5, I don't see why you wouldn't be willing to spend slightly less than that on the older games.
I'm fine with Apollo's voice but I agree with you on who you spoiled. There is an anime cutscene at the end of the case that will have that person saying one of their most famous lines and it just sounded......wrong.

The fact that he writes out about five things, all progressively getting worse, before slooooooowly writing out a G like it's the hardest thing in the world, then collapsing, is both comedic gold and extremely satisfying.
On to Case 4 now.
The fact that Case 1 is actually after cases 2, 3 and 4 is kinda silly, as you know that Woods is going to go free in Case 3, and the fact that they have to keep referring to Case 1 at the end of each chapter makes it feel like they could have done the whole Apollo leaving thing later.
Also, the typos in this game are inexcusable.

Hahaha. Case 3 2nd day of trial
that transformation lol
At first, I thought he was trying to write Gavinners symbol at first and thought that he was about to try to drop another bomb on us
Edit: Oh and play more of case 4. I'm only halfway through myself but you are at least partially wrong in what you wrote.
The facial expressions and mannerisms of the character speaking change as the dialogue is scrolling. That's why they don't let you just tap the screen to mark dialogue appear until after you've beaten the case once.
Edit: Wait, nvm, I think I got what you meant. Those always end up being to slow for me anyway.
The best thing this game does in my opinion is how we're jumping between a perfect mix of attorneys - all getting equal spot in the limelight. Athena is probably the best female sidekick the series has had, and being able to perceive each character from a different set of eyes makes the characters truly come alive. You've got Phoenix as the mentor guy who is setting an inspiration, Athena as the spunky newcomer and Apollo as the deadpan every man.
Experiencing the characters from different angles makes things exciting as well and I love how much of a true team the Wright Agency is finally becoming. It's made me love Apollo a lot more as well having to see his reactions from the perspective of someone else, since he's the one who is instantly responsible for the "not this shit again" reactions.
I hope that the series can continue in this direction in the future, and I also hope Athena becomes a permanent mainstay in the AA series. She's this close to becoming my favorite character.
