As I already have all three games on both DS and Wii, I'll be giving this a miss, but I'd sure like a nice massive surge of new mobile users to eat up this series like nothing else. Maybe Cappy will get wise and actually release GK2 over here.

What is it with Capcom raping the soul out of character sprites in iOS games?

The first game is already on iOS.

I love Phoenix Wright with a passion. I'll be sure to grab these.

Oh god, those graphics... ugh.

Now wheres AAI2?

@Raiku
I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled an Ubi and attached the possibility of that with the success of this compilation.

...Actually, I was going to say that the new sprites didn't look half bad.

I thought they already were on ios. Anyways yeah, I don't love those sprites, but they aren't as bad as Megaman X's remade sprites at least.

...what about those of us who already bought it? Are we getting an upgrade? Or is Capcom going to be Capcom?

Wow. That looks fucking ugly.

I doubt they will be under 10 bucks each, but hopefully they will be. I bet a lot of people that don't buy gaming systems would like this kind of game.

It looks cleaner, but it also looks worse in a way like some deviant art fan art or something. That shading just doesn't sit right with me.

Oh boy, they slapped a shittier-than-emulation smoothing filter on the graphics. Shut up and take my money, am I right?

I got the first Phoniex Wright on my ipod and the sprites look like the DS version looks like they butchered them for the new ones

I object

they lost all cred when they didnt localize the last game

"apcom says that the DS games will be bumped up and remastered for iOS devices later this year. "

LOL ios port bumped up

Finally! I've been waiting for the rest to show up on iOS as I have yet to play them...

...but damn if that isn't a shame about those pixels!

Holy fuck that shading is fucking horrible, looks like they just grabbed random deviantart fanarts and put them in the game

...didn't this already happen?
?.?

I just started playing the first one over again too!

BTW - The first one is already in the App store and it's only $5. So here's hoping that the pricing is decent. Maybe they will be motivated to bring the second Edgeworth game over to the US finally.

@CyricZ

I'm not holding my breath Scotty, although it would be nice. I *may* pick this up given how nice the graphics look. That and I have been obsessed with playing games on my iPad lately.

I'm glad IOS users will have something to play PW on, but goddamn those sprites are terrible. Apollo Justice's game looked way better than these.

@Naia:

Well, Kerry, Capcom are nothing if not horribly overreactive towards short term trends, so we might be able to put one over on them in this case. :-P

Also, I should mention the other reason I'm not getting the iOS version is because I do not have an iDevice, besides an iPod Classic.

Also, I too would like to join the camp of not understanding why people are going rabble-rabble over the sprites. They're hi-res. Would you rather they go back to the GBA style? Or do you folks have any alternatives that you think look better? o_O

I'm surprised more people are complaining about this not being on Android than Ace Attorney Investigations 2 on Capcom's Facebook. Priorities, huh?

The shading looks fine to me. It makes the images look more comic-like.

The platform makes sense, so why not? This is a game that actually belongs on a touch screen because it doesn't need buttons. Oh, and $10 a pop for these is COMPLETELY reasonable. People need to let go of this iOS gaming devaluation nonsense.

Also: fuck virtual sticks. I'll take any excuse I can to say that.

Me querer Ace Attorney 5. I really want to continue with Apollo's (and Feenie's!) story in a Apollo Justice sequel.

I don't know what the price for the whole thing will be, but the original game is currently $5 on the App Store. If I had to take a guess, I'd say $10-15 for all three.

The price is kinda high but depends on how much you like these games I guess

The reason people are complaining about the shading is that there's really only one light source. There's no ambient light on any of the images, only directional lighting. As someone who's just learning these things, I'm glad I can bring them to this online arena.

To explain it differently, there's only two bits of lighting information in every screen shot. Directional light and cast shadow. There should be ambient lighting softening the SHIT out of the cast shadow, considering I don't think the court is only lit from the front, and the rest of the room is in darkness.
If I feel like it after class I'll do what I can to fix it and show everyone the difference :3

I will buy these in hopes of getting Apollo Justice and the Japan only Miles Edgeworth sequel on iPhone.

I'm sure that nobody really cares, but I did a quick and dirty 5 minute mock-up (with a mouse) of what I see wrong, at least with the Phoenix Wright picture. The judge is technically OK, though the line art still kind of bothers me versus the original sprites.

My lighting isn't perfect (because hey: I'm just learning this stuff myself), but essentially the theory goes as such: there should be three point lighting (as in: 3 different types of light) per scene. There should be ambient light (the light that's cast all around the room, bounced off of surfaces, etc). Cast shadow appears in places that the light doesn't hit.

After that, we have directional lighting. As in: the light that's coming directly from the source and hitting him straight on. In the picture it appears to be coming from the right (thus why the majority of the light is on his right side). Being in a courtroom, however, the light should be coming from all around him. You wouldn't have such dramatic lighting in this case.

Last but not least we have the rim light. Not always necessary, but if you do it you need to execute it right. If you look on his back shoulder, all the way to the neck, we see a rim light. However, it stops at his hair. Going by logic, the bottom of his spiked hair should be lit, of course wherever the spikes block the light it should be in shadow.

TLDR: Kinda fixed their lighting...

...And that's the sound of nobody giving a fuck :P

Nice fit actually. I wouldn't mind buying it.

please a 3DS collection :P
