I chatted you up about the upcoming Ace Attorney universe spin-off Perfect Prosecutor (Gyakuten Kenji vs Gyakuten Saiban) earlier this month, and for those of you foaming at the mouth for more crime-solving, these new screens courtesy of Jeux-France ought to whet your appetite.
While no information about a US release has come to light, I have more news to make you envy the Japanese -- Capcom has announced that the previous volumes of the Ace Attorney series will see a reduction in price, falling to 2100 Yen each (roughly $20 US.) There's no telling if something like this price cut will make it to the US, although hardcore fans would likely buy it one way or the other (but our pocketbooks would surely appreciate the sentiment.)
The Jeux-France article also clarifies that the object of Perfect Prosecutor is to incarcerate Benjamin Hunter, an name you'll easily remember if you're a hardcore fan of the series in both its English and Japanese incarnations (hint hint.) Surely it will be worth many a fan's mad glee to be able to learn more about some of these characters that weren't fully fleshed out before. Announce a US release date, Capcom!
[Thanks Justin]

It turns out Benjamin Hunter is Edgeworth's name in the French version of PW, so don't feel bad if you didn't easily remember it - the name doesn't exist in the American games.
Seriously we need moar Adventure gaems
I just beat the game.
I didn't think there was a future for Gyakuten Saiban after the events of Apollo Justice. :[

If benjamin hunter is french edgeworth/mitsurugi...then why is the goal to incarcerate him? o_o;
I assume this is a new DS game and not a port of a GBA game right?

Kind of wondering that myself... But, I haven't played the other game with Edgeworth in it...
A court case with him vs. Phoenix Wright as the opponent would be full of epic win
I bet this reads: STFUAJPG!
I hate it when I'm put in a match in which I'm supposed to lose.
I have thought for a long while, especially since Edgeworth turns into such a sympathetic antagonist toward the end of the first game, that they could make a sequel that fucktions essentially the same as Ace Attourney, just with the objective of a guilty verdict. I think the main argument against that was that it would be difficult to explain how multiple cases would have the same defence attorney (as presumably they would want to establish a rivalry or something with the character) Maybe they will just have a different opponent for each case.
I like that they actually made it a "spin-off" rather than dress the existing games differently, though it remains to be seen how profound the changes are, it may be that it's the same as investigating the old games but with a third-person veiwpoint.
Mind, if the worst-case scenario is more of the same, I still can't wait.
