The latest issue of Famitsu has hit the stands and it contains an announcement for Capcom's Ace Attorney series. It seems that the adventures of Miles Edgeworth have been successful enough to warrant a sequel, as Ace Attorney Investigations 2 is currently in the works. It's even going to be playable at the Tokyo Game Show next week.
Andriasang is reporting that a clue from the announcement, "CHESS," refers to one of the game's systems. I hope it means that there's a button you can press to make all the characters break out into songs which use chess as an allegory for the Cold War. We should be so lucky.

this is cool and all and I will buy it, but can we please just have a fifth game instead of more spin-offs?
In Ace Attorney: "Oh no, if I screw this up my client will be falsely convicted!"
In Investigations: "Oh no, if I screw this up this person will get arrested and the brought to court for a fair trial!....wait, why am I even worried about this?"
Seriously, take anyone who was about to be arrested from Investigations. Let them be arrested and tell them to hire Phoenix Wright as his/her attorney. Problem solved.
So yeah, I thought the court games were better than that game. I am a law student by the way, which may have something to do with that :P
Capcom better localize it!
A good game, but I didn't think it was as strong as Phoenix Wright 3 or Apollo Justice. Investigations never really gripped me as much as those two, so I ended up playing and leaving it for weeks at a time. I'm hoping the sequel can draw me in as much as some of the older titles did.
That said, I would have really preferred another game from the main series. I really would like to find out why the Fey sisters were almost non-existant in Apollo Justice aside from one small reference near the end of the game. They just seemed to vanish - there was barely any time between the end of T&T and the events leading up to AJ, so it would have had to been something drastic.
There are investigation fans, and sequels to those games are fine. But not at the cost of the main series. There wouldn't be an investigations game without the ace attourney games that started the series. Why on earth would they continue the investigation games, and abandon both the courtroom section everyone loved about the original, and the original main character (Phoenix Wright)that everyone loved playing as?
Just throw a bunch of cases into the middle of the timeline (there's quite a bit of space there) and let us duke it out in court again, rather than prolong the part that is undoubtedly easier to make (the investigation phase) but not as fun. (I say easier to make in that it would be very difficult to have the entire story play out in the courtroom due to the lack of buildup and foreknowledge, but as capcom has proven entire cases can easily take place outside the courtroom.)
But yeah, we all want GS5.
