New Ace Attorney Prequel Announced!
https://24.media.tumblr.com/dcf32e7fb440740562e670ba20d659d8/tumblr_n4fnb1zTDD1qzp9weo1_r1_1280.jpg So, it was announced that Shu Takumi, the creator of the Ace Attorney series, is returning to the series for the creation of Dai Gyakuten Saiban - Naruhodou Ryuunosuke no Bouken, or Grand Turnabout Trial - The Adventures of Naruhodou Ryuunosuke. It features an ancestor of fan-favorite, Phoenix Wright as the main character (who's wielding a sword!). Apparently, it takes place during the Meiji era of Japan (think 1868 - 1912). I'm beyond excited for this installment. I hope it gets localized! I'm sure it will, seeing how Dual Destinies did relatively well. Also, yay Shu being in charge again. I hope he'll also lead GS6. GS5 just wasn't the same without him imo ): Discuss! :3 |
I hope it gets localized too but I do not envy the poor localization team if they're tackling a Meiji-era game and are adamant about sticking to their California setting. I swear it's like with each game, Capcom Japan trolls Capcom USA more and more. :P
I'm excited just because it's more Ace Attorney with Shu Takumi at the helm but... I'm admittedly not entire sure how I feel about it taking place in the Meiji era. Are we really never going to get closure on all of Apollo's plotlines? :( Are they just gonna pretend AA4 never happened? I was already really disappointed with how AA5 handled everything from AA4 and now they seem to be moving even further away from that. I'm sure it'll be good, and I'll probably love it, but right now it feels like it's not what I'm looking for in the series. Auugh Meiji Era though!! :( Any chance I had of importing it just shot way down because if I'd have struggled enough with AA5 and its modern Japanese legal/police terminology, there's no way I'll manage Japanese from a hundred years ago. /cries |
I just saw this in the gaming DCC not long ago, really excited for it as well! Was just saying localization could be tough if it happens, since all the AA games so far have supposedly taken place in America.
Just gonna leave this here, too. Spoiler:
They still have not translated AAI2 yet though, that's been out for years in Japan, wonder why that is. Also, I had no idea GS5 had a new director, no wonder it felt so different. |
Oh, glad to see that you made a thread for it (though, in retrospect, that might have been the best idea to begin with). I guess I'll just paste my bit here, then.

Civil War era, hm? I guess that could be interesting but I'm not sure how they'll get around all the inevitable Shinto references. Can't really claim "Japanese immigrants" this time around. :P

I love the series although I'm a couple games behind. But I always welcome more Ace Attorney. I hope they bring it here

Yeah, I heard the sales were pretty rough, so they didn't bother bringing it over. I do believe the fan translation has three cases done so far, though. I'll give it a try when it's done n_n
..lol, the Civil War era? That'd..be a stretch, for sure. Haha. Maybe it can be set in Japan, and have it be implied his later descendants (Nick's great grandfather or something) immigrated to America. :B |
I... wasn't even aware AAI was released outside of Japan o.o Ooo, I want to play that

I really like that idea, but I also feel like after all this time it would almost be a cop-out to just outright switch the setting to Japan, finally, hahaha. |
And we got a teaser trailer. I'm intrigued. I liked Dual Destinies, but it never struck me as "right", I guess. Might have to do with Shu Takumi not being involved. So, I'm relieved to hear that Shu Takumi will be at the helm of this project. Very curious on how some of the cases will be handled especially in the new setting. Not gonna lie though, I would've preferred another game involving Apollo, but this seems to be a fine substitute. Also, I think Capcom USA will have a pretty hard time trying to twist the game's setting into something American. I mean, look at those backgrounds. Unless they're doing some extensive background editing, everything so far is screaming Japanese. |

News to me, probably not to others, but apparently the game is called The Great Ace Attorney and is the start of a new subseries in the franchise.
Oh, and here's an interview with Takumi I am really looking forward to this. I need to catch up on these games and stat (I've only played the original trilogy) |
WHOA at the trailer. That's incredibly exciting.
I'm all pumped now. I can't wait for the localization. n_n Like, I hope the lady is a prosecutor. :< |
Interesting. I do wonder if they'll attempt to pass it off as an american setting or not, haha. Although I guess the bigger question is if it'll come outside of Japan first... anyone know how the sales for the last AA game went?
|
According to what I read, they said it met projected sales..which, can't be TOO bad.
But, then again, I wonder if they were expecting that much? :< but yeah, all I've seen is "It met the goals", so hopefully that's enough ): |
This is looking interesting though the setting and concept does appear bizarre.
I still need to play Dual Destinies before I get hyped for this entry though. (Maybe I could do with playing the Edgeworth games too, but they interest me less) |
