I don't know if I even want to talk about AA5. The less I know the better.

Who do you think the silhouetted figure is in the AA5 trailer? My money's on Edgeworth. Why else would they disguise him and make such a big deal out of it?
It's so Edgeworth, man. When fully revealed I'm sure he'll knock our socks off.

As cool as it would be for it to be Edgeworth I would actually be pissed because I will have to play AA5 before AAI2 and I won't know any of the ordeals he goes through in that to appreciate his character.
My bet is it's the new prosecutor. If I'm not mistaken they silhouetted Godot in the AA3 trailer way back when and Klavier in the AA4 trailer.

Oh man, dark Nick is fly.
Well...
Going by this, yeah. It's been a long time since AJ so I can't quite recall how the marketing for that shook out, but in AAI's case, a month or two after TGS we started getting Famitsu articles about once a month until its release in May (with some other news like merch and the like as well). In AAI2's case things were even more accelerated because it launched in early February.
AA5 is being done by the same team as the AAI games, so this makes me wonder if they're having a little bit of development trouble between the different gameplay style and the requirements of a 3DS game. Not to mention they've said they're treating the story very carefully and that it's been a bit of a tough shift from writing for Edgeworth to writing for Phoenix.
I'm just hoping it doesn't pull a PLvsAA where we go a whole year between TGSes with no new info.

To be fair we didn't hear much about Layton vs Ace Attorney for awhile either
True, but that was a collaboration effort between Level-5 and Capcom, and the creators have said it was a pretty tough slog as a result. I'd expect a standard AA game to not go through quite as much trouble.
But I'm probably just over-worrying here. Like I said, as long as it doesn't pull a PLvsAA and drop a pair of year-long info droughts on us in quick succession I'll be happy. Though if they're silent even now I can't see a release earlier than summer (unless Capcom pushes it forward to dodge MH4.)
I imagine this particular title would take quite the development effort compared to the previous games with the switch to (high quality) 3D models, dynamic camera during court scenes and voice acting. Kinda like the upgrade from 999 to Virtue's Last Reward.
Very true. Looks to be very ambitious at that.

Yup. They announced it at TGS last year. Nothing more specific than '2013' though.

Capcom made an Ace Attorney gem matching game by the name of "Turnabout Puzzle: Substitution Turnabout" for phones in Japan.
I would have cried if someone made a thread titled "New Ace Attorney game announced" before I saw this.

What? Why on earth is Siliconera covering this now? This came out like, two years ago.
Also, I put decent odds on AA5 showing up at Capcom's PAX panel this month as one of the 'unannounced titles'. They've said they're going to localize it, but it's yet to get a full name or permanent title, so I think they might pull it out there.
Double post, but I guess in a next edition of non-news from Siliconera:
An AA collection could maybe be a way of working in an Investigations 2 NA release, if it would even be possible to fit in all 6 games into a 3DS cart.

Should definitely be possible. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Yep. But, honestly, I had almost begun to think that we might only have some vague nods here and there and nothing significant:

I'm happy he's coming back, but I hope he's not as much as a loser this time. I mean, seriously; did he solve even 1 case without any external help?
Case 1:
Case 2:
Case 3:
Case 4:
I liked him as a character though, so hopefully he'll get his long-deserved time to shine.
Case 1:
Forged evidence from Phoenix Wright.
Case 2:
Trucy faking a kidnapping to buy more time.
Case 3:
Klavier basically solving the case for him (no thanks to the worst defendant ever).
Case 4:
Magical wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey computer and surprise implementation of a new justice system by Phoenix Wright.
