Speculation: Ace Attorney 4: Apollo Justice?

Aokage · (05-29-2007, 04:29 PM)

Capcom just registered a rather unusual trademark: "Apollo Justice".

Unless it's an entirely new game, I'll bet "Apollo Justice" becomes the Western name for Housuke Odoroki, the new hero of Ace Attorney 4. Totally fits in thematically with "Phoenix Wright", and the "Justice" angle plays into "Housuke", which was written with the kanji for "Law" in it.

Discuss!

Sounds about right. I'm expecting this in the first half of next year. Can't wait!

speedpop · (05-29-2007, 04:31 PM)

Sounds about right.

OBJECTION!

People have been saying that this is the worst game in the series. :(

What an awfull name.

Pureauthor · (05-29-2007, 04:35 PM)

...Apollo?

Would've preferred something like 'Robin' myself...

True, true. I heard though that the plot sometimes sets you up for big things then it fails to deliver, and some of it is just generic.

Could at least someone who actually played the game give its impressions?

I think I'll search for some objective impressions, since the change of hero can sometimes be source of a lot of hate from the fanboyz.

Which is sad.

If it let me search for blood stains and blow on my console to make fingerprints appear I think I'll buy it anyway.

Seriously that was good.

So you played it to back up their statements?

Saying this is the worst in the series is not saying much.

Apollo Justice? Haha. That's a great name. I love it.

Coming into this thread to say that is not accomplishing much.

Mr. Justice just doesn't have the same ring that 'Mr. Wright' has to it. :(

But the name Mr Justice has that penis-quivering effect that ol' Wrighty just can't maintain.

Sorta like Judge Dredd. "I AM THE LAW!!"

Yeah, but Justice is just blatant. Winston Payne says that he's wimpy, Edgeworth is kinda like a sword, Wright is just... right, but Justice. It's just saying that he's full of justice.

And Apollo, that sounds like a great name for a boxer in GS5. Really, Apollo implies that the character is powerful and full of confidence and ability, but Odoroki is a newbie.

Well, the name Apollo Justice is definitely strange. I would say that in the context of things "Phoenix Wright" when first announced also sounded equally strange. Phoenix because he would always rise from the ashes to victory and Wright because he is always Right. That is pretty blatant in the context of when it was first announced.

Well, that wraps it up for my hopes of "Pierce Lawson."

Here's to case 4 being called "Inherit the Turnabout."

<- Wonder what his name will be.

I really hope that isn't the name of the new protagonist in the English version. Doesn't it strike you as overly patriotic? Granted, I'm anti-war and hate the current presidency...so I'm probably biased. I just think the name sounds pretty stupid, at least in comparison to Phoenix Wright.

RyltarX · (05-30-2007, 12:02 AM)

I can get that Housuke = Justice, in a way.

But Apollo? o_O

It's mythological in origin, like "Phoenix", and wasn't Apollo the god of truth (among a bunch of other things)?

Well, I was expecting a similar pun to the Japanese name. I understand what you're saying and I guess you're right. There's really no name equivalent to "Surprise" in English. Astonishment Justice doesn't really have a good ring to it.

That said, I am finding it hard to think about the name Apollo Justice without laughing.

I'm less convinced about the "Justice" part.

Oh well, everyone thought "Phoenix Wright" was a dumb name, and they were kind of right. But we learned to appreciate it.

Apollo Lawson would be cool. Apollo Justice is a bit too overcooked.

BorkBork · (05-30-2007, 08:53 AM)

Bob Loblaw should also have been acceptable.

Mockingbird · (05-30-2007, 08:59 AM)

where do you guys go to search for these new registered trademarks?

I agree. This, or some other name together with Justice, would be way better imho.
