It's too bad there isn't...
Also, it's like $18, like 1/2 the cost you can usually find the 2nd game for by itself. So like everyone else seems to be saying, if you don't have them already and you want the games (and you have an iPhone/iPad), this isn't so bad that you shouldn't get it.
This. It looks bad. The fact that we live in a world where pixels are "in" and retro or whateverthefuck and capcom thought they needed to pay some guy to trace over this shit in illustrator or something says a lot about how out of touch capcom isQuote:

I'VE PLAYED BOTH BECAUSE THE FIRST TWO CASES ARE FREE
FREE
I haven't played the originals. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FREE THIS TRIAL IS, I WILL STILL HAVE ONLY PLAYED ONE.
I've played the original both on DS and the original iPhone version and the first case of HD on my phone. I don't find the visuals offensive at all. Maybe they'd be a lot worse on an iPad, but I doubt it.
They are. Duh.Quote:

i never saw this thing...
Gumshoe's voice is the best thing ever
My great regret is that I can only rep you once for posting that.
Haha, Ema at the end. Kawaii.
Damn, these games needed voice acting. Never realized it...
I'm hoping Capcom is too lazy to dub AA5 for the US release.
I hope they hire Steve Blum to voice every single character.
There was another one!
In a good world there'd be at least five. In a better world, there'd be an extra three, including one with Professor Layton. But the world we're in isn't either of the ones where Mega Man Legends 3 was released for 3DS, and it's a long way from the one where Mega Man Legends Trilogy~ With Tron Bonne! ~
i-i have a hard time believing there was never a fifth one, meaning... Maybe the Mega Man Legends 3 iOS point and click adventure still has a chance of being released in our purgatory world...
the last one isn't as good because it's long and rambling and the translator can't be arsed to make subs for half of it. Still, you can understand at least half of the untranslated part because 50% of the spoken words are "hai"

hmm... Svenssoooon... You'd better make this work or i'm going to say "SVENSSSSSSOOOON!" to everything that goes wrong
AAI 2 too....quit teasing damnit!
Skip all that garbage and just release a second HD Trilogy on iOS.
Skip all your garbage
Seriously it could cost 99 cents and demand a extra buck anytime a player has to choose A,B,C and Yosh would luvz it.
If Capcom had a history of releasing well-crafted great games on iOS i'd be okay with it (too bad they done FUCKED UP). I'd still rather have a physical version on 3DS.
You realize that the full trilogy on iOS is roughly 4x cheaper than on DS right?Quote:

SVENSSOOOOOOOON! ): i doubt it would've happened anyway, but Svensson leaving before the physical version even had a chance was like Inafune leaving before that other game was finished.
OH WELL. If you like the series enough you'll buy it. Which means. YOU'LL BUY IT
DD on a Nintendo platform?
el
eh
double you

There is no reason for this. Is Nintendo's eShop such a hotbed of activity that a retail release is unnecessary? I doubt it.
Someone is just being an asshole.
If it flops, and entitled internet babies want to go out of their way to make it flop, whoever green-lighted this for English can say at least they don't have to worry about recouping manufacturing costs as Svensson and the Tsujimoto twins are instructing Ono which finger to chop off next.Quote:

WELL. GREAT. JUST GREAT.

Move it to a real digital platform imo.
Move it to another platform where you'd never play it anyway, right?

I would be pretty mad if there was a physical release but only through the digital river, like as mad (or apathetic) as everyone is about it being eShop only, maybe even madder.
I can deal with a download if it's priced like a download. Getting Kokuga for $15? Sweet deal, imo. The only reason for a full-priced download is parity with the retail version.
But if this shit is more than $30, fuck off.
:wtf: What percentage of a game's cost do you think is the manufacturing exactly?Quote:

Do we know what Nintendo's cut of eShop purchases is? I'm guessing it's not much less than what they get for licensing and manufacturing retail games.
I think it's 30%. It's definitely a much more attractive cut than the 60% overhead that comes with retail.
I mean there's a reason they're not doing a physical release. It's cheaper.
Right, but not by as much as most people think. And if they have to cut the price on top of that, there may not be much difference left.
There's going to be a big difference if they don't. I think they'd be vastly overestimating the number of people willing to pay full retail for a download on this plaftorm.
That could be, and that's a whole different issue from the profit per copy discussion. In fact, you could argue that that is where the argument for digital only falls apart. If they make $40 - 60% = $16 per retail copy and $30 - 30% = $21 on each discounted digital copy, but they'd sell 2x the retail copies, they're idiots to sell a discounted retail copy, since they'd be losing out by a profit ratio of 32:21. Now if they could sell the same number of digital copies at $40, that would take their profit to $28 per copy and make the ratio much closer at 32:28.
I enjoyed the DS, yet I bought only one Ace Attorney game.
It was the original and only one not released amid 30-40 other titles each month. Things have changed and the portable market is a pitiful handful of 3DS and Vita games per month. Odd thing is a budging digital portable market helps the few physical releases stand out. Monster Hunter Ultimate and that shit rag X Zone did decent numbers. SMT IV outsold its PS2 prequel in the first month. And Animal Crossing...good lord. Capcom was offered the chance to stand out finally, especially in light of a Layton crossover and opted to remain obscure.
Sorry not springing retail on this.
This would assume that everyone who says they're not buying it now but would be buying it if it was a physical release would actually be buying it within the first month or two, or whatever ridiculous amount of time publishers think they're going to sell millions of copies in. After that they're just clearing out space for whatever people are paying.Quote:

Of course then you have Aksys releasing Sweet Fuse, an actual honest to God otomé game physically for a real life dead system (after they released those Hakuoki things) and Vic Ireland justifying a physical release of a game no one really wanted with what, 3,000 copies? (assuming he won't pull an ECM, but he hasn't run off to produce tv shows in California yet) I guess that's the difference between tiny companies that have to really like the products they sell and present-day Capcom.
Neogaf says the Svensson was telling a bunch of lies about Okamiden outselling Ace Attorney, so that guy really was just full of shit.
i don't know. i just love the Ace Attorney games a bunch more than i hate Capcom and i just want it to do well. :cry: i don't expect there to be any more Ace Attorney games after this one, at least not in English.
I can't wait to not buy this.
it has Ema.
Stop that.
Awww, is that a Compass waifu?
Can't seem to get pissed enough about this to not buy. Maybe if they threw in some pay to win. Edgey gem +3: increases duration of finger waggle by 30 percent.

ok, not bad.
Maybe I can work with that. Nintendo and Atlus did give me $30 for free on the eShop.
24th of October
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/201...and_in_october
Which is great, because i didn't have enough to spend money on in October.
$30 sounds good to me. Makes me feel like I'm at least getting a discount since I can't get a physical copy.
Willpower = 0. It will be mine.
There is a demo. You can try it!
You guys buy it, so that when the physical version that they said wouldn't exist (Ducktales) comes out, I'll buy that.
I'd buy BOTH.
I think Finch is joking.Quote:

*edit*
Goddammit, someone fix the Cute tag.
The font in this game sure looks amateur. I hope they fix that in the real game.
GUYS. IT'S ACE ATTORNEY EVE. i still didn't finish 4. i really like 4, but i sure didn't plow through it like i did the first 3. I took twice as long getting through the 3rd case as i did playing the entire original trilogy.
ha ha ha it's funny because i sent money to digital river for the physical release SquareEnix game that's only available through their shopQuote:

Just tried the demo for the first time. This has exceeded all of my expectations.
Put me down in the buy it twice club.

Wow, that review is surprisingly obtuse for a Eurogamer review.
"The game most closely resembles an interactive book with little room for expression through the gameplay... a "visual" novel, if you will."

This review baffles me. I see what they were going for, but too bad the voice talent is garbo
why did this have to come out when I'm in the middle of Pokemon
It's excellent so far.
Also lol at the criticisms that are more about the genre than the game itself. This new novel is disappointing. It tells a great new story but in the end it's just sentences arranged in paragraphs, chapter after chapter.
Man, even the very first case is good stuff. It has some great "eureka!" moments mixed with some really impressive character modeling. The switch to polygon art has not harmed the expressiveness of the characters one bit. All the little touches like Athena playing with her earring when concentrating or Juniper knitting little hearts are just really charming. The 3D effect serve them we'll, too.
Love love love this game
Yeah the production values are super high and it definitely feels like an upgrade over the older games (which were what, GBA fucking games? Except for Apollo).
I'm really liking it so far. The 3D gave me a headache from eye strain .___.
This game is definitely one of the best. It's just below 3 for me, but in some ways it's better. Mainly it doesn't take two whole games before it to appreciate it.
The only thing is that I wish they'd try something besides a murder trial. I think this might be the third time they've used the "victim wrote a name in their blood" trope. Even if it's like the second game's case where it went from a theft case TO a murder trial.
Also, I get the reverence for GS3, but I think the very first one edges it out. Bit unfair though since they added my favorite case, chapter 5, years after the third game.
The 3d looks nice, but I had to turn it off since reading text in 3d is kind of a pain.
Someone mentioned it already, but I just love how they did the visuals. It's cell shaded 3d, but the visuals and mannerisms look exactly like the older games only upgraded.
I also like that we still have the older confident PW from Apollo Justice instead of the bumbling one from the earlier games. I was expecting him to revert since he's the main character again.
I like character development in my courtroom games.
I never played 4, though! It's keeping me from buying this.
Yeah, it's probably a good idea to play Apollo Justice before this one. The other ones, not so much from what I've seen so far.
Finished this last night, was very good and had a more satisfying ending than 4s.
None of the occurrences of past game characters felt too forced which was a really nice touch. Simon Blackquill continues the trend of the prosecutors being amazing.
I've only done the first case so far but this is great. I haven't been this into an Ace Attorney game since 3.
