I haven't played any of these games but if they are good than WHO FUCKING CARES if we keep getting them in a short timeframe. Do you like waiting forever between sequels? Besides, I think all of these games are kinda short, right?
I don't see people complaining about getting new RockBand songs every week.
Not at all. They're damned long for adventure games. It's a very episodic series though. I think they could stand to split them up and release them more often. Like bi-monthly single-case episodes. Too bad you can't make that business model work on DS.Quote:

Steam or Telltale or someone should distribute that here. The format just makes sense.
Holy shit. That would kick ass. The only reason to turn on a DS would be removed.
Oh look, it's a trailer:
This is just an excerpt from the longer announcement presentation, but it's probably the only interesting part to non-moonspeakers.
That looks wonderful.Quote:

How Gyakuten Kenji Works
Checking out the new gameplay lurking behind the next Ace Attorney.
By Kevin Gifford, 09/17/2008
It's been too long since we heard anything about Gyakuten Kenji, the new game in the Ace Attorney series that turns the tables and lets you play as evil, perfectly-coiffed prosecutor Miles Edgeworth. The game's still on track for a spring-2009 release in Japan, and a playable version is going to be available at the Tokyo Game Show in Makuhari next month. How does being an Ace Prosecutor actually work, though? Judging by what Capcom revealed to Weekly Famitsu magazine this week, it's not so different from ace attorneying after all.
The first crime you'll tackle in Gyakuten Kenji is a murder -- one that occurs in Edgeworth's own ostentatious Victorian office, no less, apparently carried out by a shadowy group of men. Along with his lackey Detective Dick Gumshoe, Edgeworth begins his investigation immediately upon finding the body.
As revealed earlier, you actually get to move your character around in this game instead of choosing from menu options, giving Gyakuten Kenji more of a Western-style adventure game feel. As Edgeworth, you'll be poring over the crime scene, looking for evidence and searching for connections -- or contradictions -- between it and the rest of the info you have at hand.
All evidence is kept in the court record for later, of course, but Edgeworth has another weapon at his hand -- "information." As you talk with Gumshoe and the others you encounter, you'll uncover certain nuggets of info related to the crime you're investigating, which are recorded in the form of keywords. Edgeworth has the ability to combine these keywords together (using something called "Logic Mode") to make Sherlock Holmes-style deductions and unlock new facets to the case he's examining. These keywords can also be used during conversation in much the same way Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice used evidence to mess with witnesses' minds in the courtroom. If some hotshot rival prosecutor offers another theory behind the crime, Edgeworth can shoot him down by challenging him with his own deductions -- and being as much of a prick as he can in the process, too, no doubt.
More will undoubtedly be unveiled at TGS in a few weeks.
Sounds good. It's been too long since Apollo Justice!
