Ace Attorney 6 announced

[Elija2]

Confirmed to be coming to North America (probably eShop-only though).

Some info:

- Phoenix travels to a foreign country "for a certain goal".
- The country has no defence attorneys and judges rely on "oracles of spirits" to deliver verdicts.
- A tour guide called Bokuto Tsuani is on trial and Phoenix jumps in to defend him at the last minute (this is likely the first case).
- The mysterious woman is not a prosecutor, witness or a judge but is the "key person" like Athena in Dual Destinies, and serves a "fourth role" in court. It's not clarified if she's Phoenix's assistant.
- New "Water Mirror" mechanic in the courtroom that is not explained.
- There are other small changes in the courtroom which are not specified, but the "usual rules won't apply".
- The basis of Phoenix going to a different country was that the developers thought that no prosecutor in Japanifornia could stand up to Phoenix, and that a country that "doesn't need" attorneys would help create a sense of "turnabout" in trials.
- Option to enable/disable hints.
- Less obvious clues to solutions.
- Developers want to betray players expectations in a good way.

So I guess you never plan on playing it?

So I guess we have to wait for a fan translation of The Great Ace Attorney like we did with Miles Edgeworth 2, huh?
That aside, the concept of this game sounds pretty darn awesome.

TGS Trailer



Even though the trailer is for the 3DS, the footage is running in HD which leads me to believe that it's actually from the eventual iOS/Android versions.

Also, the game seems to take place in Kurain Village. Maya and Pearl confirmed?

Screw Maya and Pearl. I want more Mia.

Let her rest in peace.

Not in this lifetime or any other. The world needs more Mia Fey.

Well maybe we'll get some in the new Ace Attorney anime. Apparently it'll be based on the original trilogy.

[Hakudamashi]

That is exactly what I needed.
