逆转裁判is an adventure game in which you look for clues and evidence in the detective part and debate in the trail part. The game series is well known by the flowing stories and attractive characters.



Isn't the highlighted spot on the map Wright and Co. Law Office? I'd have to look up a sprite of the map from Apollo Justice to make, but I'm almost positive it is.

Translation: Edgeworth and Detective Gumshoe will

The first shinning point of the new game is the new system: the players can control Miles Edgeworth to discover the evidence and contribution at the scene The new function of "controlling the character" will bring new happiness to the players. In the game, Edgeworth will go to different places to find the truth, and catch the real criminal in the name of genius prosecutor!! Here are some screen shots and design, please try to picture the world and system by your self~

Dick Gumshoe

The detective of local police department. He's in charge of the early investigating. He walks here and there to investigate the scenes. He believes in Edgeworth's ability from the bottom of his heart, his trust is so strong that it's even beyond the relationship between a detective and a prosecutor. People usually call him as 线锯刑警.


Investigating in the different places

The story in the GK will happen around scenes. Edgeworth and Gumshoe will go to variety of place to discover the truth. We can see a scene looks like a restaurant or a bar, and a room which seems to be belonged to a stock dealer. What will happen there? We are curious.



Does the rough sketch of the guy remind anybody else of Rastapopoulos from Tintin?

Investigating at the scene and dig the criminal out!!

Interview of the game makers!!


Here we start the interview of the game makers. The interview contains the original idea and what in the game. It's quite rich. Further more, the producer Miss 松川美苗 also told us something interesting.

Mr. 江城元秀:producer
Mr.山崎 刚:overseer
Mr. 岩元辰郎: characters' designer

Looking at the <Turn About> form another angle.
覧Why a prosecutor becomes the leading role this time?

江城元秀（江城 from now on) I kept on playing the GS series and I found it very funny. Then the idea " How about take the view of this angle, make a game about prosecutor?" occurred to me. It probably was the earliest idea of the game. Then I talked "I've got the idea of the game, how do you think of it?" to producer山崎, he answered:"Not bad." The next step was making an out line of the lay out.[/color]

覧You were thinking about controlling Edgeworth in the game at the moment?

江城 At first we had a lot thoughts, and one of them was if we can develop the GS system. The previous games were divided into detective parts and trail parts, and you go to many places in the detective parts, yes? So we decided to focus on "going to variety of places",try to make the characters do some walking. It's like, learning from failures over and over, and here we go.[/color]

覧Quite different withe the previous games.
江城 We name the games with same main characters but different system as spin off games. It would be fun, but I thought if we take a different view angle, it would become more interesting, right? Capcom is a company in which you can challenge yourself. Now they let us make a quite different game with the previous ones in the name of famous series GS

覧What did you think when you first heard the idea of the game, Mr 山崎？

山崎 刚（山崎from now on) I didn't only make the game GS, but used to play it as a fan, so I pretty love the GS universe. I thought it would be a good idea if we view the universe from another angle. Because we've already had a universe here, so I was thinking about if we can offer more and different fun.

覧What did you think when you heard that the players will control Edgeworth?

山崎 The attraction of GS, I suppose, is making an animation by using the lattice pictures.[...What on earth it is?!] I think we can show a totally new style of the game by controlling the character, and see the attraction of the characters,right?
[...Hey you didn't answer the question at all! = =#]

覧In other words, there will be a lot characters' animation in the game, right?

江城 We have a few different ideas about the animation, running style included. Like, how to express Edgeworth's emotion by moving the character on the screen.

岩元辰郎（岩元from now on) To me, the animation is more flowing and beautiful. We focus on if the animation looks pretty and feels good. Even the characters become small, we don't change our original mind.



Translation: 覧I guess there will be quite a few fans who are surprised by the running Edgeworth [/color]

江城 It's the first time for Edgeworth to run.

岩元 Edgeworth is an emotional character, so when he's in dangerous, or felling panic, he reacts as strong as possible. Anyway, we did carefully on his running animation.

江城 We did try a lot. It feels like, not running for you life, but being graceful while doing effort.

岩元 And looks like walking really fast accidentally.

覧Talking about this, it's the most important part of picturing Edgeworth as a leading role.

江城 The key is how to form Edgeworth's image. I suppose the GS fans probably will notice this part, let's say, if the character we create feels like Edgeworth. We hope that we can show some part of Edgeworth which has not been described, like oops I didn't expect Edgeworth would act like this. Of course, it should be acceptable to the fans.

岩元 Let's say we don't want to be at a standstill.

江城 I think there is an Edgeworth in every fans' mind. We tried to take ours if possible, and express the character in a different way. It feels not like a departure, but a development of Edgeworth's world.

山崎 We used to learn Edgeworth from the angle of Wright, but this time we will view the world through Edgeworth's eyes. I suppose we can see a new Edgeworth image.

覧 I see. By the way, care to offer the GK's time line?

江城 Around GS3, I suppose.

山崎 Edgeworth is no longer the jerk in the GS1, but the one whose mind is changing during the battle with Wright.

覧Can we see more familiar GS characters in the game?

江城 The game is a kind of "fiesta game", so of course, we will join some popular characters, but we can't leak out who they are now.

岩元 Our goal is making new players feels intend to play the GS series, and previous fans have some questions like "Huh? what happened earlier?" Players will see the connection between GK and GS.

覧When Mr. 岩元 was making the game, what did you particularly focus on?

岩元 Well, I think I focus on how to keep the characters design simple. If I want to draw something gorgeous,I would design the most important part, like a key, and the color. Because this time the characters move on the screen, so I think more about how to make the animation cooler and more interesting.

Fierce psychological battle and logic reasoning

覧Although this time we only learned something we've already known from the previous games, but there will be new
