Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Maybe you've done some internet matlocking and seen the new characters in Apollo Justice already, but if you haven't, this video should tweak your brain into happiness. If you aren't familiar with the Ace Attorney series already, I suggest you march out and purchase it from the beginning. If you like intelligent games and excellent dialogue, the series is not to be missed.
 
The game hits North American shelves on February 12th, which I will purchase from a retailer at the speed of light and promptly play in the car. Yes, when I'm really excited about a DS game I play it in the car right after I get it. Don't bother to make fun of me; random strangers have been taking care of that since my Gameboy days.

Awww, like a little excited kid!!! I normally wait until I get home and carefully unwrap everything as if it was fragile.

I'm looking forward to this a lot. Love PW.

Even though this trailer is older than a WW2 Vet (Ok not really...) I still enjoyed watching it :D

Oh, I was picturing you forcing Niero to drive you to the store and then having him chauffeur you around while you played.

The Japanese version of this trailer is tons better, what with each of the characters shouting [i]igiari![/i[ in their own voice and all. They could have at least pulled a bunch of people into a sound booth to shout "Objection!". It would have taken 10 minutes!

I miss the voice tracks of the japanese trailer... But it's still nice. I want to play this game right now (...after I beat the second and third Phoenix Wright game, of course... shame on me...).

Hmm, this very trailer has been up on IGN for weeks now. I just happened upon it when looking up stuff for the game, and assumed it was old news and I just must have missed it. Maybe I should have sent it in as a tip back then.

IMPORT!!! Beat Phoenix Wright: Justice for All last night. Don't know how I'm gonna get my hands on trials ans tribulations but the thought of Apollo Justice being designed for the DS brings movement to my underpants.

I'm so excited for this game now. After learning that was Phoenix and Ema's presence in the game I just ended up watching it again being giddy.

Just in case anyone was wondering the song that plays is Apollo Justice's objection theme. I'm ashamed to say I like it more then Phoenix's.

Damon Gant was awesome, and one of my favorite characters of the entire series.

Wait, what?

Isn't that music on the Guyakuten(spellingphaliure) Meets Orchestra fan album? Or is that made by Capcom? Aaagh, I'm so confused...

Can't wait for this game, I've been replaying the Phoenix Wright trilogy because I needed more Ace Attorney after I finished Trials and Tribulations...

God I love these games and as long as the writing stays on the same level I will never tire of them.

Trials was one of my personal games of the year...

Uh no the first judge you judge with in the First Phoenix Wright.

But Damon Gant was awesome anyway.

This game will be awesome, especially since it is designed specifically for the DS. I'm ready to be blown away by its awesomeness.

@Mink Car
Its the Gyakuten Meets Orchestra version of Apollo's objection theme. In the actual game it doesn't have the long intro.

On an aside I've noticed that as the series progress the characters begin to look less and less human (compare Will Powers and Old Bag to Viktor Kudo and Furio) and now this (http://www.court-records.net/arts/gs4guidebook/18-daian01.jpg) is an actual character in AA4. (Despite my initial shock after seeing him, He's defiantly my new favorite character and I cant wait to see him in the game.)

Chaoseye was talking about the failure prosecutor you always face in a training case. It looks like he has a son that is a failure prosecutor as well. You can see him show up in the collage of evidence near the end.

Also this thing is made of so much win.

Call me crazy, but I didn't bother finishing the first game. I got to the last case, then when Day 2 of the investigation started, I realized I hate investigating and just want to object. That, and the music sucks compared to when you're objecting back and forth.

Now I'm on the second, and the wonderful music is gone. I just can't win with this series.

@Chaosye - well when you said dressed in yellow, that was my first thought is all.

Anyways... this is gonna be an interesting game. I can't wait to see how the new mechaninc works that replaces the Psyche-Lock. Those things pissed me off to no end. I also dig that the Prosecutor isn't just a stuffy guy like Edgeworth (he's awesome though, don't get me wrong, just a bit one dimensional in the first game. He's far more awesome come Trials & Tribulations) AND Klavier's older brother, the other Gavin, is Apollo's Mentor...that'll be interesting to see.
