Oh my god! XD What?!?manga is pretty fun.

I gotta get around to reading the Manga!
*drool*
Got the chance to play AA5 at AX
Surprising note: The game looks AMAZING in 3D, like; it really makes a weirdly positive difference in the visuals. Athena actually seeming like she's standing right next to Phoenix during the trials, etc.
Speaking of her, Athena's emotion system seemed kinda run of the mill in the demo/tutorial, but does look like it could be interesting if you can be penalized for it.

Has there been ANY news about Maya in AA5 at all? The tension is killing me. ;_;
Wow, those spines look awesome. And what is readable int he first image looked good too.
So there was an image of the second case, and in that image, you can see in the background that there is a graveyard. I used those image supersizer thingamabob (you know, the ones from CSI?) and managed to see that it said, "R.I.P. Maya". That may look bad, but you can have hope.

Let's just hope it's not killing her too... :/
Oh, I think I need to get the last two AAI mangas. They're quite expensive, but I like them enough to pay >8 for it.

hmmm I'm pretty sure I paid like ~$8 for each volume on amazon. Wasn't too bad.
it's not the best thing ever, but its not a straight adaption of the game, and there are enough fanservice stuff to keep me happy. It's definitely more 'mystery writer does his own thing but with these characters'. But I like my detective conans and what not, so I'm satisfied enough.
Whole bunch of details from Famitsu! Listin' em quick because I'm in a bit of a rush.

Pearl gets her official art and a brief introduction as a medium-in-training, but the magazine won't say what case she appears in.
-
Athena is indeed the main character of case 3. The actual trial portion features Athena going up against Simon, with Apollo taking on the partner role.
- The victim of case 3 is a classmate of Juniper's who was shot with an arrow and killed - the same situation that was used in the mock trial between Apollo and Klavier. As Juniper was the one who set up the trial, she's under suspicion.
- Two new characters: hot-blooded Chishiro Atsui and cooler, genius-level Rei Shizuya. In the newspaper article on the main site, Rei's the one in blue, and Chishiro's the one in red. Though they're friendly with Juniper, Athena picks up that there's something going on beneath the surface.
- There will be two save files.
- During investigations, the "investigation memo" is provided to you as a check-list of things to do. You can refer to it if you get stuck.
- During trials, if you start running out of health (in the screenshot the bar was down to half), you can ask for hints from your partner by pressing X.

Thank fuck. All Pokemon X/Y has to do is announce this and I will cry.
Official site updated. Just two more weeks!

I wonder if
Athena gets her own objection theme.
Seeing her courtroom dynamic with Apollo and Simon should be intriguing, especially since she's already been shown to be a bit hot-headed. This is shaping up to be a really interesting game!

I might be completely wrong about this, but Dengeki is apparently confirming a digital release of the JP version after all?
Yep, it's confirmed on Famitsu and a few other places as well. Weird that they waited so long to announce it. I'm still getting a physical copy though because of the situation in the rest of the world.

am I the only one that kinda wished they went the AAI route for investigation parts? Walking around interacting with stuff was way more fun than any investigation part of PW games.

Let's hope it goes out with a bang, if that's the case.

Well shoot.... Maybe there's hope that his replacement will be kind to the AA series too?

Ace Attorney had a nice run in the US.
Time to get cracking on studying Japanese, then.

Getting a goofy lawyer visual novel series localized for 6 games took a hella lot of stars aligning... :S

I suspect that even if AA5 sold modestly over here, getting localization approval for potential future games would still be a major pain in the ass anyway. Only now, there's no one to potentially push for it.
That's true. I suppose I'm thinking more in the extremes of "sold poorly" or "sold well." If the sales are average, then someone who doesn't relay the passion of fans outside of Japan for the localization of future games in the series could be problematic.

Considering how quickly the turn around is from the JP release to then English one I imagine plans were already underway for the localization before the game was officially revealed.

Can you explain this in more detail?
They are all translated!? Where did you find these?
He had no power, really. If you read between the lines of his G+/FB post announcing him leaving Capcom, it sounds like it was 8 years of increasing frustration with the idiots in charge over at Capcom Japan, to the point that he flat out doesn't agree with the direction the company is heading and wanted out.
Whilst his results weren't always great for us, I think Sven truly did give a shit about Ace Attorney. I'm actually pretty gutted to see him go.

the achievements explain what ya have to do to get them, and most are things i've never tried, like choosing the wrong answers during trial and examining certain things at certain times, like examining charlie when mia is channeled by maya.
Found all of them on amazon.

Yeah, pretty much this. The way he handled the AAI fiasco was pretty idiotic and definitely deserved the scrutiny, but that aside, he was still the closest thing to a voice for Capcom USA, and it's clearly shown (Tatsunko Vs. Capcom's localization, Monster Hunter, AA5, etc.)
It's going to be really

Oh, I already did all of those "achievements" way before this HD thing even existed lol. Whenever I beat one of the games, I would play through it again... then play through it a 3rd time intentionally failing at everything, presenting everything to everyone, and clicking everywhere at every instance. I didn't want to miss a single piece of dialogue.
This was especially hard in AAI since not only are there tons of unique "you fail" lines in the game, each cross-examination and investigation came with its own game over sequence. It wasn't anything like the previous games in the series in that regard, which would give you a generic "your client is guilty" game over.
Unfortunately, all of my DS games got stolen while I was in the middle of the last case of AAI, so I never got to finish my failthrough. =(

So I guess I'll save the credit from buying Shin Megami Tensei to download this. I am saddened that we probably won't be getting a physical release. They could make a limited print-run and have people preorder it up front...make it a special edition with the Phoenix Wright figure and full OST for $50 :3

Has anyone played the trilogy in GBA? Thinking of trying it.

Back in the dark days when there was no sign of a trials and tribulations English release a fan translation was made for 3-1, it was really wonky playing it on the gba. Everything felt really small and cluttered on the screen. The patch might still be out there if you're interested in trying it out.
So for those of you who have finished it, or at least played a substantial amount of it, what's the final verdict on AA Trilogy HD? I'm thinking of doing the IAP to get all three games on my iPhone, but I really don't want to pay for a port people are unhappy with. I haven't seen much in the way of impressions, however.

I'm about halfway through and it's good. The framerate is a bit slow for animations, but that's pretty ignore-able. The art is also good looking, but if can take some getting used to if you're familiar with the original.
The first two cases are there for free, so try it out got yourself and see what you think.
