Ace Attorney 5 announced at Capcom’s 10th anniversary event for the series in Tokyo last night. The company didn’t bother to provide critical details like a release date, information about the story, or whether this will be an Apollo Justice or Phoenix Wright joint, but expect to hear more about all that in the coming weeks/months.
And while we didn’t hear anything about what system(s) it will appear on, given that the game’s primary platforms so far were Game Boy Advance and DS — and that we also have Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney coming to 3DS — it’s likely this will hit Nintendo’s new handheld first.

Cover for Gyakuten Saiban Sound Box, a new CD collection being published by Capcom on February 8. This set collects the music from Ace Attorney 1-3, specifically as it sounded through the “high quality” Wii hardware. Do I need to go back and get the Wii versions now?
I’m glad Capcom is still serving the fanbase for this series in Japan… :(

tags / phoenix wright / ace attorney / wiiware / jc / gaming / soundtrackSubtitled trailer for Takashi Miike’s Ace Attorney film (turn on annotations by pressing the little speech bubble icon to see subtitles). This looks hella dramatic! I kind of wonder if the costumes are too accurate — I mean, I definitely appreciate the accurate costumes, and prefer them to unrecognizable, toned-down ones, but they have the effect of making this look a bit like cosplayers acting.
Basically, my feelings on the important matter of what the wardrobe looks like in the Phoenix Wright movie are complicated. I’m gonna go meditate on these troubled thoughts. In any case, I am so down to see this at the earliest possible opportunity.

The full trailer isn’t expected to debut until next week, but portions of it popped up recently in a variety show. This looks much better than I’d expect for a live action adaptation of the courtroom adventure series!

tags / capcom / ace attorney / phoenix wright / films / takashi miike / gaming / imports / ecSamples of Turnabout Musical, a new fan production that tells the story of the first Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney game through song — 30 original songs, in fact.
It may even end up being an official project! Project lead “Pleading Eyes” tells The Kartel that they’ve been in talks with Capcom’s legal and marketing departments. “[A Capcom paralegal] ended up getting us permission to write up a contract, a standard IP licensing contract. That has not been drafted yet [as of 4/2/11], but we are waiting to hear back from it. As soon as we get that back, we’ll find out just how much room Capcom is giving us to promote this.”
The team is holding out on a full release until stuff with Capcom goes through, but it’s promoting Turnabout Musical with a panel at ICON and future convention appearances, along with a fifteen-track highlights CD that it’s handing out to forum users and other “friends” in limited quantities.

Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth, and Maya Fey illustration by Ace Attorney series art director Tatsuro Iwamoto (also serves the voice of Miles in Japan).
The illustration, which was posted on Iwamoto’s Twitter yesterday. says something like “Let’s work hard and not be defeated by the earthquake!!” Ace Attorney fans will remember that Miles has a particular fear of earthquakes.

“Just Another Day in Court” by Etsy user jenben84. Looking at this gave me the idea that it would be really funny to have a courtroom sketch artist interpret Phoenix Wright and gang — but OH WELL we’ll have to settle for this rad painting for now. It’s $45.

Phoenix Wright Magatama necklace by WTFcharms. It seems like an obvious idea (fandom + in-game jewelry item = real-life jewelry item), but this is the first one I’ve seen. If this version works like the one in the game, wearing it will allow you to see and break the invisible mental locks people place on information they don’t want to reveal.
Also, it glows in the dark.

“Hershel Layton vs. Phoenix Wright” by Junessance Yamada. This illustration actually, um, illustrates one of the reasons I like both of the represented series. Both are frequently about crimes (if Professor Layton games can be said to be about anything other than OH HEY PUZZLES), but all the actual conflicts that occur in gameplay are nonviolent. Not many developers have seemed to catch on to that possibility.
That history of intellectual conflict resolution is also what makes the idea of Layton in Smash Bros. or Phoenix Wright in Marvel vs. Capcom so wonderfully incongruous.

I figured the only people more excited about this 3DS collaboration than me our readers would be Pixiv inhabitants, and it seems I was right. Detailed artwork combining the two series and their dapper, pointing men is already starting to appear… and here is some. Most of it just puts characters together in the image, but I appreciate the one guy who made a Layton/Phoenix amalgam.

tags / professor layton / phoenix wright / fanart / capcom / level-5 / professor layton vs phoenix wrightDirect-feed trailer for Professor Layton Vs. Ace Attorney. One more Level-5 post before we end the day, this time a much longer and higher quality video for this surprise Nintendo 3DS game revealed last night. In this clip, you’ll see the Professor accuse a young girl of practicing witchcraft, but then Mr. Wright steps in to defend her.
Some of you went nuts over this game’s announcement. Check out some notes our readers left:
- “MY LIFE IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT PLAYING THIS GAME.”
- “MY WILDEST DREAMS NOW MANIFEST”
- “Oh. My. God. I-I think…tear of joy just rolled down my face just now.”
- “shaking and crying”
Capcom-Unity wants you to post that excitement in its comments, implying that your feedback could help the game receive a North American release. I’m pretty sure it’s going to release here anyway, but it couldn’t hurt?

Artwork/logo from the Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright crossover game for Nintendo 3DS. Everything shown so far looks like it’s from the anime trailer and not the actual gameplay sections, but this all sounds very promising! It’s like the video game equivalent of Tupac and Biggie joining forces, going back in time to defend people in Witch Trials, then recording a hit single called “2 Of Salemz Most Wanted”. Yeah, that’s exactly what it is. Buy: Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth See also: More Professor Layton stuff, Ace Attorney posts
