Miles Edgeworth Ace Attorney's English debut trailer photo

Eureka! You knew it was coming, but get excited anyway. It's okay. I'll wait.

No, we're excited too. It made our most-anticipated games list for this year. And it makes a lot more sense than being excited about a nine-year-old game that we all already have being re-released as a download. Yep, I said that. Objection?

Fresh from Capcom's event Captivate '09 comes this rousing trailer for Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney Investigations, the spin-off from the crazy popular Phoenix Wright games that features the purple-wearing prosecuting attorney. Wait, why am I telling you this. You already know this.

The trailer only shows us about four or five English scenes. If you look close, you'll see some untranslated shots toward the end of the video. So they threw this together for the event. So what? We're still excited, right?

I've been suspecting this one for awhile. But I'm still overjoyed with seeing this trailer!

EUREKA!

What is it with Miles and people wanting to shoot him? Anyway, I can't wait to play it, it will keep me busy until Apollo Justice 2 is released.

Why is it that I still have yet to play a Phoenix Wright game?

But he isn't an attorney. Somebody didn't get the joke at Capcom USA I guess.

I can't wait for the game to finally get released next month in Japan. It's going to be epic.

Well, this has made my day. Though I wonder why Edgeworth is teaming up with a law-breaker.

@ ParaParaKing

Edgeworth is an attorney. He practices law. Perfect Prosecutor would have been a better name though to separate the two series a bit more.

Will there be multiple branches instead of one linear plot? Cause that'd be great.

@naia-the-gamer - It's coming Winter 2009 according to what I've heard.

It took them long enough to announce it, but I'm still sad we won't get any of the spiffy goodies the Japanese release has when it gets here. T_T

They had the gall to use DFLeiGaSo for the trailer but they don't bother using a better font for the game itself?

I hope it's releasing pretty soon, I've been aching to play another ace attorney game.

In all honesty, I think the title is just weird. It isn't bad as I have heard worse. Way worse. I look forward to this new spin in the series.

I'm hoping everything falls into place logically, I loved PW1 because of this but couldn't stand the other 2.

In PW1 it all made sense, you could use logic and solve the case, in PW2 and 3 you knew what you had to do but it came out wrong, later you realize you had to jump through a bunch of bells and whistles and THEN you could do what you needed, the actual pattern to figure out when you could present, well, good luck figuring that out.

Apollo was just flat out terrible, he just wasn't interesting though that was mostly due to Phoenix doing everything, hopefully the next game gives him a chance to shine.

I do wish they chose the Perfect Prosecutor name, but the looks awesome regardless.

Perfect Prosecutor would fit better, if the original games were called "Phoenix Wright: Lovely Lawyer"

I wish more series would explore the supporting characters. I'm really looking forward to this.

On a side note the subtitle is kinda lame...

I just need to concentrate on getting the second and third games, as well as Apollo Justice... >_>

Is this the first game in the series to have character sprites wandering around in the environments? I had thought the Ace Attorney games were mostly first-person.

YES! YES! YES! YES! The last 4 games (that might well be called "Phoenix Wright's life cycle", I didn't care Apollo at all) were great and since this one was announced I'm waiting for the US release.

I guess the name was changed to this one so it could fit in the "Ace Attorney" series (japanese name is still related with the "Gyakuten" to the series).
