Candescence Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 HOLY SHIT No, I'm not kidding. The good professor and Phoenix Wright are coming together. On the 3DS, no less. Famitsu Article Also, plot details: Ace Attorney designer Shu Takumi made an appearance at Level-5 Vision to announce the project alongside Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino. Takumi is heading up scenario work on the new game.Official materials released by Level-5 promise a game that that puts players up against puzzles with contradictions. The "puzzle" and "contradiction" theme are recognizable as, respectively, key words from Layton and Ace Attorney. The game's story has Professor Hershel Layton and Phoenix Wright (Ryuichi Naruhodo in the Japanese version) finding themselves in a different world. They come to the medieval city of Labyrinth City, where reality and illusions are intertwined. This strange town is also home to witches, who hide in the shadows, and is a place where magic is real. It has also been home to a number of impossible occurrences of late. The city is controlled by a villain named Story Teller. The story he writes with his pen becomes reality as the future of the world. Layton will find himself faced with all new puzzles. As for Phoenix Wright, the person who seeks his help this time has been accused of witch craft. The trial that takes place in this world is "Majo Saiban," or "Witch Trial." The term "Witch Trial" will be familiar to those who've been paying attention to Capcom's recent Ace Attorney developments. Capcom recently hinted at an upcoming game announcement at the Ace Attorney portal. An image for the game showed a book with the word "Witch Trial." It looks like the identity of the mystery game has been revealed. Basically... Welp, there go the contents of my bowels. Basically, my reaction: The 3DS is now officially the best handheld ever.

Candescence Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Complete with "OBJECTION!" And apparently, Layton is a prosecutor, which explains the Vs. part. The anime sequences look beautiful, and then there's the music quality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ espeed Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Go figure. I timed my clicking of your link with The Escapist's doing maintenance. > I suppose I shall find out later on today as to why Capcom sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 In summary. No plans, now or future to release the game outside of Japan. Not unless enough people complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Chaos Zero Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 In summary. No plans, now or future to release the game outside of Japan. Not unless enough people complain. Obviously an e-mail spam campaign is necessary. Also, subbed version of the trailer here: Why is it that the US never gets awesome crossover games? No SRW, no Capcom X Namco, I mean wtf is this bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 If anything I assume it's just Capcom PR bullshit. Level 5 is also on the other half of the game, and I'm sure they have the intelligence to release it over here. It will just take 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarletdark Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 It's almost as if Capcom is encouraging the r4 3ds to be made so that people can hack the rom and distribute an english translation to the public. p.s. Crap this really sucks. Petition anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look how fast they punked the DSi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
