I feel I need to play the "Professor Layton"-games, so that I can fully appreciate this.

Doctor Shulk on Wed Oct 20, 2010 3:23 pm

At the moment it's only coming out in Japan.
BAWWWWW.

but hopefully the fanbase will make enough noise to warrant a western release. Apparently they wanted to see what the reception would be like and so far it seems overwhelmingly positive.

Avalanche on Wed Oct 20, 2010 3:28 pm

well, capcom HATES the Benelux (Belgium, Holland and Luxemburg) for our excessive pirating......They didnt bring out Miles Edgeworth here either. But perhaps trough lvl 5 distributors it'll end up in shops.

With the popularity of Layton and Pheonix here in America, there is NO FUCKING WAY this won't make it here. NO WAY!

I haven't played any of the games but this just makes me want to so badly.

If that ever happens I can always pick up a copy for you and post it.

I've played the first two missions of the first Phoenix Wright on a friend's DS. It is very fun, although a little odd and frustrating at times.

I don't even know what kind of game Professor Layton is, though.

Professor Layton is possibly more frustrating, but that's because I'm terrible at puzzles. It's got an overarching plot but lots of little puzzles to do to test your brain. Some are easy, some are a lot less so.

Basically, the crossover will be a mass test of logic, imo. xD

TD260 on Thu Oct 21, 2010 4:06 pm

the PUZZLES will have CONTRADICTIONS.

that is gonna be hella confusing....

Fedaykin on Thu Oct 21, 2010 4:15 pm

I haven't played a Wright or Layton game either,but this looks promising.I love the art style of the cinematics.

Doctor Shulk on Fri Oct 22, 2010 12:39 am

OH GOD CONTRADICTIONS IN MY PUZZLES MY BOY

I just got Professor Layton and the Lost Future. Yaaaaaay.

But yeah, I imagine Ace Attorney court sequences, and Professor Layton investigation sequences. Plenty o' puzzles, plenty o' chances to shout OBJECTION!

Wait, what the fuck. "The dastardly dutchmen pirate our shit a lot, so we won't release it there so they'll actually HAVE to pirate it!"

...

The logic involved here is astounding.

This pretty much happened with RPG Maker.

*not released in the West*
*someone translates it and makes it available for download*
"What? How DARE you pirate our game! As punishment we will never release it in the West!"
"You were never going to do that anyway."
"BE QUIET!"

hey. That was my reasoning for pirating Last Window.

GOD DAMN finding the patch for that to run was hard.

JonnyJinx on Sun Dec 05, 2010 11:03 am

Here's a random question.

Why is Justice for All always considered the worst game in the series? And why is Turnabout Big Top (Case 3) always so hated? I haven't played it in a while, but I never really got all the hate... anyone know why?

Avalanche on Sun Dec 05, 2010 11:41 am

I didnt like Turnabout Top much.......it was just something...........something........

Spoiler:

Nah, it was quite a funny case. And Apollo Justice well.....its the most absurb one (corpse on a noodlestand?), and I can see how the final case is a love it or hate it sorta deal.

JonnyJinx on Tue Dec 07, 2010 6:03 am

Well, I didn't actually say anything about Apollo Justice. When I said Justice for All, I meant Ace Attorney 2. The one where Pearl is introduced, etc. =P But yeah, I'm personally not overly fond of the last case of AJ, it seemed a bit too easy and anticlimactic, and the villain's motivations were... weak, at best.

Still, its kind of good too, cause it makes him seem more evil. The "Do you want to win yes or no" thing at the end was pretty silly too.

BUMP FOR GREAT JUSTICE

First Layton VS Ace Attorney Screens
Plus, find out what Layton and Phoenix Wright are up to in their crossover adventure.

2011-09-15 00:30 / Anoop Gantayat

Famitsu.com has posted the first actual game screens from Level-5' and Capcom's still unexpected and unbelievable dream crossover project, Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney.

Joining the shots, the site and its print counterpart reveal that Layton and Ace Attorney's Phoenix Wright meet in"Labyrinth City," a city in a different world. Wright hopes to challenge the city's "Witch Trials," which apparently follow some difficult to grasp rules. As for Layton, his role isn't clear at present.

One new gameplay system is the "Gunshuu Saiban" system. That translates to "Mob Judgement." Standard rules do not apply when the mob rules. Phoenix Wright will have to face off in questioning against crowds of witnesses.

Famitsu introduces new characters like Mahoney (in the above screens, the blond girl), the accused witch Phoenix Wright defends, and Jeeken (the red-haired guy with the sword), the prosecutor in the case.

Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney is due for 3DS release in 2012.

AND NOW THE PICTURES

I'm assuming these are members of the new ruling system of "Mob rule"...

Chronicle on Sun Jan 29, 2012 6:48 am

Bumping this because GYAKUTEN SAIBAN 5 HAS BEEN GREEN-LIT! I mean, they said they were making it years ago, but at least we know that it's a real thing now. Of course, after Capcom refused to release Gyakuten Kenji 2 in NA, a lot of people over here are trying not to get hyped until a NA release is announced. Not much else has been revealed.

Also, they're going to re-release the first three games as a pack for iOS. They're apparently also porting it to Android.

Doctor Shulk on Tue Sep 04, 2012 9:08 pm

Ace Attorney 5 now officially announced. A playable demo will be shown in Japan later this month.

Dear God this better get an English release. I want to play as Phoenix again. D:
