Famitsu broke the news

-Phoenix is the main character
-3DS
-New partner, a mysterious girl in yellow
-Release date TBA

Also some more Professor Layton v Ace Attorney info, there's a puzzle on the back cover of Famitsu.

Time to bug Capcpom to localise this and Ace Attorney Investigations 2!

Andriasang is suggesting that the code makes out the release date of Layton vs Gyakuten being somewhere in November. I expect we'll know for sure + get the first footage of Ace Attorney 5 during TGS in 2 weeks time. So get hype and prepare for more at TGS

Woo fantastic that more info has come out, more Phoenix is always good and I can't wait to see the new partner ^_^

I just want an international release for Ace Attorney vs Layton atm...

A bit more info

-Takes place one year after Apollo Justice (I thought they were going to do a Devil May Cry 2 and ignore it!)
Very mild spoilers for the first case but I'm tagging just to be safe
-Explosion at the courthouse
-Accused is a high-school girl called Shinobu
-The first prosecutor is Winston Payne's brother!

The game seems to be being developed by the Ace Attorney Investigations team (I liked AAI more than Apollo Justice so I'm cool with this). Noriyuki Iwadare, who composed the music for Trials and Tribulations and Investigations (as well as the likes of Grandia and Lunar), returns to compose the music for this. Shu Takumi isn't involved.

A scan is floating about with some screenshots, but I'm not sure what the rule is on posting them. TGS will have a playable demo.

Screens are fine, since i'm going to link them myself, hah.



and because of size, i'll leave the next two as just links:

Also, for Shu Takumi, it seems he's not fully involved, but it hasn't ruled out him being involved to some degree. We may find out more when the demo hits TGS

*says his sidekick is a girl*
*has big boobs*

Yeah....girl...

New assistant is adorable <3

U.S. and European release confirmed!

Unless of course Capcpom are lying. Still assuming they're telling the truth, hooray! Time to celebrate! That just leaves Ace Attorney Investigations 2 and Layton v Wright.

Glad it's got a release date here confirmed =D Instant Preorder when a release date is announced.

Crapcom confirmed Investigations 2 would not get a western release.

I hope that the team put some critical plot element from the missing game into this new one, so Capcom US/EU are forced to be sensible.

Teehee, "Crapcom". I loved the first Edgy-poo game and can't forgive Crapcom for depriving me of more Kay Faraday ;_;

New Phoenix Wright brings the total of 3DS games I absolutely must play to two (the other being Rune Factory 4). Getting close-ish to a purchase despite my fierce loathing of region-locking grumble grumble. I'd have to replay all the earlier games first, though, as I've forgotten just about every plot detail (minor or major) =D

I would buy a 3DS for this.

I may have to start saving up for one.

If by "be sensible" you mean "ignore what has happened and carry on anyway" then I will agree with you. :p
