Ace Attorney 5 is happening!

Ace Attorney 5 is happening! photo

Please, try to contain yourselves!

Technically, only Gyakuten Saiban 5 has been announced with no word on an international release. Capcom kept Ace Attorney Investigations 2 from us; those butts in Japan better not hold out on us again. No platform has been announced, but I'm going to take a wild guess and say it will be on 3DS.

That's just half the announcement, though. The other half is that the first three Ace Attrorney games are getting an HD release on iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad, with Android versions also planned. Again, no international word yet.

Still, YAY!

I'll honestly be surprised if they don't localize it. AAI2 didn't get localized but that was one sequel to a much lesser known and much lesser loved spin-off game. Given this is part of the main series, I think they will localize it.

Yeah, great!

I didn't like Investigations all that much, so it's nice to see a regular Ace Attorney again.

I just don't know what to think about this right now. We'll have to see what happens. Capcom already killed my only interest in a 3DS once ;P.

@Andy: the 1st game was released on iOS a while ago, but it was a strait port of the DS version. This will probably be a better value and have better graphics

HNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!

I just downloaded the iOS version again for the other day, and was wondering if they were ever going to put the other ones on there. Hoping beyond hope that all of these come over here to the States.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious that it's coming to the 3DS. With the success the 3DS is having plus the fact that the series not only originated on the DS but the fact that the crossover with professor layton is another 3DS exclusive.

On one hand, I am overly rejoiced knowing that I can finally pick up some of the series on the cheap for the iOS, but I really really really really still like physical media and would still prefer the DS version. Just don't have the funds to, however. :l

These better be localized, or there'll be hell to pay.

Wonder if it'll feature Apollo Justice, or if Phoenix will be returning.

Either way, I'm gonna make such a high-pitched squeal of joy that only dolphins will be able to tell me to shut up. Excuse me.

YAY!!!

Now, hopefully they bring back Phoenix Wright as the main character. Apollo Justice was ok, but he's nowhere near the shear awesomeness that is Phoenix Wright. haha

The series originated on Game Boy Advance, actually.

Great news, hoping the trilogy gets a 3DS release because I'm one of those poor welps without an iOS device.

Hopefully it's avaliable for just DS too...i mean,if it's still-images,no need for 3D (unless you wanna do stupidities with Trials)

I wonder if it comes out for the 3DS, if they will use the 3D in an interesting new way for investigating. Cannot wait to hear more!

FUCK YEAH, LAWSUITS!!! I just really hope Capcom decides to be cool and localize it this time around. Also we need word on Layton vs. Ace Attorney ASAP. It just sucks there's so little info. Will we be seeing Apollo Justice, or will Phoenix be returning to main character duties? What the hell happened to Maya? Did Miles Edgeworth end up banging that flight attendant? These are things I need to know!

Still waiting on Ghost Trick iOS to be localised as well Capcom. I'm not getting excited until it gets announced for English.

It would have to be Apollo, his story is still unfinished. That is unless Phoenix gets his job back somehow.

I'd really like it to be like Good People Die, i.e a 3DS/Vita title, so at the very least if it doesn't come out in Europe and still in the US, I can import it !

Anyway : YES YES YEEEEEEEESSSSS !!! Totally makes up for the fact the Muppets was canned in France ... T_T

what happened to the Proffessor Layton vs Ace Attorney game?

the 5th game is probably for the 3DS :P

oh and please localize Gyakuten Kenji 2 and reprint some of the older games.

some of the prices here at amazon US is ridiculous.
