Fan made games really stepping up their game.

I'm surprised they haven't done it that way by now. It'd give me an incentive to pick up a 3DS.
Didn't catch the sarcasm in your post but I totally agree with you. Apollo sucked hard.

There aren't a lot of series that prompt me to say "Day 1!" very often, but this is one of them.
Day motherfucking 1.
Day motherfucking 1.
Best news of the year!
The sprites are hand drawn illustrations. They already have them in HD.
My thoughts exactly.

No it doesn't. The lines are thinker and the coloring is different so it just looks like they traced the old sprites in photoshop.
Also they were all originally hand drawn and have those assets readily available. They've used it for some of the japanese promos.
Badly compressed image but it gets the idea across:
This is revised artwork for the DS remake of GS1, I believe. See: concept art from the GBA GS1:
The artwork in the iOS game is actually sourced from the artbook.

Ah that's good then. Although I'd like them to all be more like the newer artwork I can understand not updating it.

Happy about this news, looking forward to playing through the old games again on iOS. Can't wait for a new Phoenix Wright.
Actually more curious about the updated ios game.
I assume it will use some assets that were in the ace attorney movie app that recently came out?

Actually, no. These are not old sprites traced in Photoshop.
The sprites in the first quote are the illustrations they made the GBA sprites from (after, of course, some touching up). The outlines are thicker because they needed to be visualized at a very low resolution. Simply downscaling the artwork wouldn't have worked well, the lines would have been nearly invisible.
no, he was just joining the hive mind on 4 because otherwise no one will read his posts

I kinda acknowledged that two posts above ya Jocchan. O:
Although I do wish they'd clean up the coloring a bit at least since it's not very good.

Can't wait to start my fourth playthrough of the original trilogy.
because it would hurt the gameplay*, or because you just have a chip on your shoulder?
*it wouldn't
That is fantastic ! I just hope that this time this game will be translated (at least in English).
I can hazard that the next platform will be the 3DS. It would be in Nintendo's interest. I would be surprised to hear that the game would be on Wii U.
Anyway, I'm just hoping that this game won't have the same treatment as Investigations 2.
... And that Phoenix will be back as the main character. Appolo isn't that bad, but he will stay overshadowed by Phoenix.
I'm wondering if we'll have the conclusion (or at least some new informations) of the "Kristoph Gavin" storyline. We never discovered what was hidden behind his black psyche-locks (now that I remember, he had an epic break-down... Brrrr).

My point was a bit different, that the original illustrations had thicker outlines because they needed to be downscaled for the GBA screen (plus some touching up and colour reduction)

Well that part is assumed from that conclusion! Although a more detailed explanation is appreciated.

AAI2 didn't come because they decided stores would not stock a game from that series on a dying system at the end of 2011, at least not in the numbers they would need to justify it. They did themselves no favors by totally lying about the reason, though.
If, somehow, Ace Attorney 5 does not come out here (and I stress that, AAI2 aside, there's no reason to believe that to be the case), then Capcom USA does not believe the series has international traction anymore. And that will be terrible.
Layton vs. Ace Attorney should be out in American before any localization decisions on AA5 are made. Hopefully that sells well and convinces Capcom that the latter half of that title is still viable here.
That said, I do wonder if AA1-3 will come to America. Redrawn sprites, yeah, so logically it should, but you never know. They somehow never got around to bring Ghost Trick iOS out here.

A friend of mine just pointed out that the sparkle is also located where it was in the first three games:
In GS4, it's on the right:

Wish we had gotten some more info on GS5 since there is nothing to do but speculate on it's direction and protagonist at the moment.

The colour combo in the logo makes me think we might be in for an Apollo & Phoenix game. They've got Phoenix's blue for the title and Apollo's red for the 5, so maybe the reason for no character silhouette is because it would look a bit silly with two of them on there pointing.
Makes me curious if it will be a Trials & Tribulations style past / present scenario, or something else entirely.

Excited for AA 5 but still want Miles Edgeworth 2 translated!
There's a screenshot LP of dangan ronpa on SA and the guy is translating everything. He also posts subtitled videos of important scenes. For instance:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79ZEu8vf5OM
Some guy in the thread even bits of the real rom, as a proof of concept, though at this point it's not clear if that actually is going anywhere
Yes yes, It's about time!!!!! Now i want its english release This year!!!!

No.
They didn't announce the main character or even what system it's on, but they did make sure to announce that it is specifically never being released in America and also wherever "here" might be. Sorry.
I was about to point out the red number, but GS3 also had a red-ish number, so I'm not sure that would be reaching.
I guess you're right (quick mockup):
Ace Attorney has also never been on 3DS.

What about Layton vs. Ace Attorney
Fuck yes, I'm tingling. I don't give a rat's ass about the platform for this one, just give it to me and I'll eventually buy the dud to play it. The idea of not playing all games in this series pains me, I'm still bummed about the whole AAI2 fiasco. ;( Never understood why they didn't localize Ghost Trick iOS either since the translation was already done on DS.
Actually having AA5 on a different system to Layton vs. Ace Attorney would be really weird.
Namco weird.

I actually think that mockup logo looks awesome Jocchan
In some ways, so do I. Both characters back to back is kinda badass. But I think it would look weird on a boxart.

The boxart would have to have symmetry EVERYWHERE
it also looks like they're blaming everybody.
