Wait a second, didn't the AA series just see a reprint recently? That to me sounds like sales are decent at least. Can't wait for AA5 though, looks like one of the best jumps from sprites to 3D ever.

I'm still waiting for AA 123HD on Android, Capcom! You want sales, release your projects!

Spoiler

And also an Android release of AA5 a couple years from now for a replay.

 

[Poltergust]

Loving these screenshots.

 

[Hero]

Day one on the limited edition as long as it comes over here.

Isn't Capcom USA allegedly sitting on the Ace Attorney HD trilogy for iOS? Thought there were rumors it was coming to Wii U or something a while back.

 

[secretanchitman]

awesome, game is looking great! hopefully we get the costume DLC and possible limited edition here as well.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

According to Apollo's character profile on the site, after the events of AA4, he stuck with Phoenix at the law firm, and serves as a senior of sorts to Kokone, offering her advice and such.

Makes sense.

 

[The Awesomest]

Ha, looks like Wright's office is still a talent agency. Perhaps we'll be seeing Trucy sometime?

 

[BoosterDuck]

I'm drooling

 

[ColossalLazy]

Those screenshots are so good. Need a release date for the west.

 

[Thoraxes]

This is the first time i'm going to be buying an AA game on the English release date and not importing ;_;

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Screenshot dump.

omg omg omg

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Dude in the portrait on the back looks like Grossberg (or at least an idealized version of him).

 

[Snakeyes]

That figurine would look great next to this;

Game looks stunning, Capcom really knows how to work that 3DS.

 

[Hours Left]

This game is so damn beautiful. I like the new prosecutor even more now that we can see his long hair.

 

[MechaX]

Each game has sold less than the previous game in NA, and AAI was outsold by Okamiden. It probably is to the point where the costs of localizing the games are greater than the revenue they would bring in.

On that same coin, AAI actually only sold slightly less than Apollo (which was between 60-80k according to a GAF poster that had NPD access; it was an older topic), which was also in the ballpark of all of both the second and the third PW games as well.

The Okamiden thing came from Sven, but it turned out that there was something very off about that comment.

 

[Tookay]

Game looks so awesome.

Kinda weird how it pretty much took all the hype away from Layton vs AA.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

omg omg omg the screenshots

i was worried about it going polygonal but this is simply [f l a w f r e e]

Yeah, that comment about the sales didn't really accurately portray the reality.

AAI2 was, (and still is IMO), a game that could make a worthwhile investment for Capcom. The fan support is there, we just need to be given the opportunity.

 

[HardRojo]

Bring that figure over to NA Capcom! I'll buy 10 copies!!

Spoiler

And resell them at 200% the price

Not really, I'd just get one but I'd get 2 if it helped AAI2 to come stateside.

Yeah, it was still odd that Capcom made that assertion at all.

Also, just for other people wondering about the Okamiden thing, Shocking Alberto summed up the situation pretty well almost two years ago. Basically, AAI being outsold by Okamiden was a bold-faced lie.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Hmm a ponytail. I guess Yagami was the silhouette guy in the first trailer?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

He was and looks exactly like his silhouette. Plus, his bird's feather is falling behind his silhouette.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

I played the demo back at TGS, and I was really impressed by how great everything moved. The animation is really fantastic.

I enjoyed Layton vs Ace Attorney, but the AA5 demo was on a completely different level in terms of the character models and movement. So excited for this.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

Oh, man, I love seeing Apollo featured prominently. See both attorneys together like that is seriously awesome.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the game in motion more. Like PLvsAA, I think the models look a little off in still shots, but PLvsAA was able to do wonders with the animations.

 

[rockmanjoe]

This!!!! So glad Apollo seems to be a major character!

 

[Save 'N Quit]

I need everything! Really hope that limited edition becomes available here as well.

And the new prosecutor looks so bad ass! Hopefully, he'll end up memorable just like Edgeworth and Godot.

Already love Kokone.

That smile of hers can brighten up my mood anytime.

 

[rekameohs]

Oh, I didn't even know Apollo was in this game!

Hopefully some of the magic of AA1-3 can come back.

 

[Wazzy]

Looks great. The new guy is cool but that skunk ponytail is nasty.

 

[Vamphuntr]

The LE is like 10,000 yen and the figurine only edition is 8990 yen. So roughly 100$ to get, eh. That's not so bad.

 

[Videoneon]

Whoa, Apollo as defense attorney!

 

[Thorakai]

YES! Apollo made it to the cover and seems to have a prominent role in the story.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Whoa, Apollo as defense attorney!

It's crazy, because it almost seemed like his opponent was doing all the defending for him in his own game and when that wasn't the case, he had his superior doing the defending for him.

 

[Jacksonlee]

this is how you do character design and 3d art Nintendo.

LEARN FROM IT

 

[EmCeeGramr]

finally, a game where apollo gets to solve a case

 

[Tookay]

finally, a game where apollo gets to solve a case

Maybe.

 

[Burning Justice]

Ha, looks like Wright's office is still a talent agency. Perhaps we'll be seeing Trucy sometime?

I would be shocked if she didn't appear in the game.

 

[Kusagari]

Kokone looks right out of Ghost Trick.

 

[Shahadan]

They did a hell of a job keeping the artsyle almost intact.

Now the question I don't like to ask....who's writing it? Iirc it's not Takumi.

 

[Klaymen]

Yessssssss

I'm going to miss the sprite art, but the 3D models look really nice.

Aw man, I just remembered that I never finished Apollo Justice. Gotta get on dat.

 

[Ra1den]

So how much did Takumi have to do with this?

 

[Instro]

So how much did Takumi have to do with this?

Not much if anything, he was writing for the crossover game.

Screens look great btw. I have to say, this is looks like one of the most faithful 2D to 3D conversions I've ever seen.

 

[spiritfox]

It's the AAI team, so Takumi is not involved at all.

 

[GuardianE]

It's the AAI team, so Takumi is not involved at all.

That's pretty disconcerting.

The game looks great, but I'm still worried about the writing/plot/pacing.

 

[Keyouta]

The series translated to 3D so damn well.

 

[jj984jj]

Holy Shit! Those screens.

I wish Takumi was a part of this but as long as he's working on something that'll actually make it out I'm glad he's working on something he actually wants to make.

 

[shadyspace]

Whoa, Apollo as defense attorney!

? Am I missing something?

 

[Tookay]

That's pretty disconcerting.

The game looks great, but I'm still worried about the writing/plot/pacing.

By most accounts, AAI2 was pretty well received by the people who actually got to play it.

It's not like Takumi is God or anything, considering the plothole-ridden/lacking-in-motivation story of AA4.

 

[dragonlife]

? Am I missing something?

These posts sum it up:

It's crazy, because it almost seemed like his opponent was doing all the defending for him in his own game and when that wasn't the case, he had his superior doing the defending for him.

finally, a game where apollo gets to solve a case

Maybe.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

Looks really impressive. Not getting hype until confirmation of Maya, Gumshoe, Edgeworth and Franziska though.

? Am I missing something?

He didn't really do anything in AJ.

 

[shadyspace]

oh okay thought he might have been a prosecutor or something in AA4 and I somehow missed that
