Edit: summary.

Ash from Court Records has translated all the details (no link as scans posted there):

- Asougi Kazuma - Student of Imperial Capital Yuumei University (Teito Yuumei Daigaku, probably the precessor of Ivy University in GS3) and also an attorney. Close friend of Ryuunosuke. He hopes to improve the position of the defense attorney in Japan and plans to study in England to do that. He helps Ryuunosuke out in the first trial. Apparently the first trial is deemed 'a top secret trial' by the government.

- it's possible to cross-examine two people at the same time now.

- Mustache man's man Uzukmar (Uzukumaru, but I guess it's a German-esque name like for example Weimar).

- Autopsy report mentions someone dying at 2 PM. Cause of death: blood loss due to one gunshot. Bullet did not leave the body.

Famitsu scans are out, and there's some stuff about Dai Gyakuten Saiban (The Great Ace Attorney).

First of all, there's a new character called Asougi Kazuma. He'sPhoenix's friend, and helps him during (one?) of the trials. He studies at Taito Yuumei University. His clothes are quite similar to Phoenix's... they're basically the same, actually.

Also, it looks like the Mob Trial system from PLvsAA is back... in some You can see one witness (some sort of soldier) with an old man beside him. But it looks like it's limited to two witness at the same time, not 4 or 5.

No date yet, but the game will be playable at Jump Festa this week-end. Demo will be the same as the TGS one that was showcased on stage. There'll be a new special stage about the court part of a case taking place in Japan, most likely the first one.

With the return of the mob trial system, the theory that this was initially a PLvAA sequel at some point seems a little more plausible...

 

[Totakeke]

Awesome, mob trials were fun and they can do much more with it.

 

[Matt Attack]

Oh man, I'm really glad to hear about the mob trial system. I thought it was really great.

 

[daydream]

The mentor guy is looking badass. Maybe a brother of sorts?

 

[TheSlySoul]

The game is looking good, but I fear it may be Japan only considering the nature of the game.

 

[daxgame]

can't fucking wait

The game is looking good, but I fear it may be Japan only considering the nature of the game.

I'm very confident it will be released abroad

 

[Corgi]

mob trials were fun the first time, but most of the time you are just pressing every statement, which typically isn't required in AA games.

The framerate also goes to shit.


hmmm

 

[DukeBobby]

I loved the mob trials. They tanked the framerate though, so I hope they don't go too crazy this time.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I hope Capcom localizes this game, the fact that they don't even make new games these days gives me hope that they see it as a way to of making Capcom USA to do something with their time.

I haven't played the Layton game but the mob system sounds interesting.

 

[MissileTrick]

Loved the mob trials in PLvAA, we better get this one. I always keep $40 in my eshop wallet for this.

 

[Makonero]

The game is looking good, but I fear it may be Japan only considering the nature of the game.

What that it takes place in London with Sherlock Holmes?

This is as likely to release worldwide as AA6.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Multiple witnesses was interesting in theory in PLvsPW, but it got to be too simplistic and redundant. Hopefully that was because the trials in that game were simplistic overall compared to an Ace Attorney game, so these could potentially be handled better.

Ancestor Phoenix's friend looks pretty cool, with the headband and everything. All the characters seem to have a pretty serious disposition in this game, and he's no exception. Seems like he'll be assisting Phoenix in at least the game's first case, in Japan.

 

[L~A]

I really wouldn't worry about the framerate. Different engine. Besides, AA5 ran flawlessly: I have no doubt this one will be the same, even with 3D.

 

[spindashing]

New character looks pretty cool!

 

[Kazerei]

I love the mob trial system, it lets them introduce a colourful cast of characters who interact with and contradict each other. Really livened up the cross-examinations.

 

[artenight]

Really glad to see Mob Trials again!

I hope to see a new good trailer, the sooner the better

 

[RurouniZel]

Glad to hear that system might be returning for Dai Gyakuten Saiban. The multiple witness system from PWvsAA was frickin' awesome. XD

 

[Einhander]

When you said mob trial, it took me a couple seconds to register that you meant group witnesses. I thought you were saying actual mobster trials. Lol.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Phoenix vs Layton was hot garbage I would prefer if they don't take anything from that game.

 

[Kouichi]

Awesome. The mob trials was one of my favorite things in PLvAA. The one with all the knights was comedy gold.

Oh, it'll release worldwide for sure.

On the eshop, of course. Anyone hoping for a retail release however is going to end up disappointed.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Really liked the multiple witness system from PWAA so I'm glad it's back

 

[ShadowElliot]

[Aveyn Knight]

I'm oddly happy about the mob trials returning. Really enjoyed them in PL vs AA, despite the wonky framerate.

 

[L~A]

More info from Court Records:

Famitsu scan (1): Ryuunosuke's friend is ASOUGI Kazuma. Student at Teito Yuumei University and attorney. Helps Ryuunosuke out in the trial.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I don't care if it's an eshop only game, I accept the reality of niche games and just want to play it.

 

[SoulUnison]

The game is looking good, but I fear it may be Japan only considering the nature of the game.

They'll set it in Chinatown or Little Tokyo, and all the characters will enjoy delicious Hamburger Sashimi.

 

[Shengar]

Honestly, if they gonna localized it I hope they keep it as Japanese as possible.

[FluxWaveZ]

Cross-examining two people at once sounds like a potentially better way to manage that mechanic than a whole lot of people at once. It could lead to the same fun interactions between witnesses, but then also give more opportunity to interact with the testimonies, as well as giving them more depth.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

I don't care if it's an eshop only game, I accept the reality of niche games and just want to play it.

Me too, but I'm sure people will moan about the inevitable digital only release when it happens.

 

[random25]

Really glad to see some progress. Can't wait!

 

[Jawmuncher]

I really like the concept here shame we won't see another PLvAA at the moment though.

I did like PLvsAA too, but I'm not sure I'd like a new game. The one we got worked just fine on its own, not sure what a sequel would add, and it wouldn't have the novelty effect.

Then again, I'd buy it the second it'd be available on the eShop, so yeah...

 

[Kouriozan]

Happy about the mob trials, it was really interesting, can't wait to see more of it.

 

[Tizoc]

Mob Trials were the BEST addition on PLvsAA, it's gonna be a blast to experience them again, but I worry for the frame rate lol.

Spoiler

Dat 10 man mob trial

in the last case of PLvAA.

 

[qa_engineer]

I am always clueless as to what's being discussed in these Japanese game threads. Needs more screenshots. Please continue.

*Exits the thread*

 

[Nyoro SF]

I'm hyped.

But I hope for a physical release. As much as I like to challenge my JPN, having JP-only physical releases in my collection is a big downer. Didn't help that AA5 writing was a bit of a slogfest.

 

[CrimsonFist]

That autopsy report seems pretty detailed, I thought part of the point of a historical setting was that the advanced forensics stuff from the main games wasn't possible, or am I just underestimating how advanced autopsies were during that era?

Happy to see mob trails return though, especially if it improves on the ones from vsAA. I like the new characters design too, although if we move to London after the first case I guess he won't show up much after that.

I don't know, "secret government trial" sounds mighty ominous. I'm sure he'll play a big role in the overarching story.

 

[Adam Prime]

Its hard to get excited about this since I don't see much chance about this coming to US. Maybe digital only, that'd be nice. But it's going to be at least a year after the JPN release.

This game is vaporware to me until it's announced NA....

 

[CrimsonFist]

I don't know, "secret government trial" sounds mighty ominous. I'm sure he'll play a big role in the overarching story.

And I completely missed the "He hopes to improve the position of the defense attorney in Japan and plans to study in England to do that." part, so yeah, seems like he'll show up a lot then.

Another major non-playable defense attorney charecter is new though, I can't think of any other characters like that in the series

Spoiler

who don't die or turn out to be a criminal after a case or two.

 

[mrmickfran]

PLvAA was decent until the ending. It just kept getting worse.

 

[GSR]

Shigaraki (Ray in the fan translation) in AAI2, but that was also a game where you weren't playing as a defense attorney.

Anyway, loving this new info! It'll be fun to see a new twist on the mob trial system, and always good to get more new characters. My complete crackpot theory is immediately "he's this game's Moriarty somehow". More realistic guess would be he bites it either in the second case (which is at least partially set on a steamboat, presumably to London, from what we've seen) or the final case.

Or maybe we'll actually have a (non-Phoenix) mentor make it through safely!

 

[D-Man]

Ryunosuke's friend gives me some Edgeworth-like vibes. I wonder how important he'll be to the overall story.

Not really surprised that the mob cross-examinations are back. Hopefully they fix the frame rate issues PLvsPW had with it. The frame rate suffered majorly by the time of the last trial.

Grossberg's doing just fine!

 

[FluxWaveZ]

New guy's been added to the official website. Plus new pics:

 

[Grexeno]

"Hi, my name is Mr. I Will Die or Turn Evil."

 

[FluxWaveZ]

"Hi, my name is Mr. I Will Die or Turn Evil."

He has the look of the latter, heh. Maybe more of a lawful evil going on.
