Yep, I got an LE sitting around too. I haven't even looked at the DVD yet :lol

 

[ZealousD]

Coming from a late fan who finished the first three games just a month ago, I'd much rather be in your position and start from the first. Because the way I see it, the fifth game isn't going to be here until sometime next year. So that means I have one game to keep me content until then. You, on the other hand, have four.

I have like a billion other games I want play. I can wait.

 

[Drakken]

Great to see that Alexander O. Smith handled the English translation! For those who don't know, he's the one responsible for the first PW's text turning out so well. PW2 and 3 weren't so great, so it's good to see he's back on board for Apollo Justice.

 

[bbsting120]

I'm so excited.. Hopefully I'll have Trials and Tribulations finished soon.

Wait though... there is a preorder bonus from Gamestop???
I never saw that there was a preorder and it's not listed on the website....

 

[Femmeworth]

I'm think I'm a bit burned out on the series, but, despite that, I'm really looking forward to this. Maybe the new characters will revitalize my love for the series.

Yeah. I wasn't kidding when I said the dev blogs had good information in them.

Capcom's website says that both the Capcom store and Gamestop are offering the pre-order bonus, but like you said it isn't showing up on the website. We'll see soon enough, I guess.



edit: And looking through the Capcom store, I just noticed that they are stocking Phoenix Wright 1! So for those that are looking for it, here is a link: http://shop.capcom.com/servlet/Cont...omus&id=ProductDetailsPage&productID=52269000

 

[grandjedi6]

-Alexander O. Smith is back for translation
-Everyone worldwide is buying the English version, so instead of getting screwed over it'll have great sales
-Skip says its good

I'm back on the believe bus. I believing in Capcom and choosing Apollo Justice over all the other Feb. and Jan. games was the right choice

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Hellz yeah. Pre-ordered this the other day along with GTAIV SE.

Any idea on internet memes or do we have to wait until someone plays the English version?

 

[jj984jj]

Oh shit! Alexander O. Smith is back? DAY 1!

 

[Mejilan]

Huh, is that preorder bonus new? Because I preordered mine through the Capcom website in mid to late January, and it didn't mention anything about a preorder bonus. Should I be concerned?

When did your tag get downgraded :lol

It's relatively new. You might want to swing by an email to Capcom

No need for concern. You should still get it according to the official Capcom blog.

If you preordered the game before this was announced—fear not!—you will still get the preorder gift just as if you knew what you were doing all along.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Best case is in AA?

Hmm

Top five:

1. AA2-4
2. AA3-5
3. AA1-4
4. AA3-2
5. AA3-1

 

[Zombie James]

Really looking forward to this one.

 

[Mejilan]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll do just that. Capcom ALWAYS lists the preorder bonus item as part of the order, and hell, usually ships them out separately too. I just checked my order, and it does not list the keychain.

Edit - Woops. Apparently Capcom will take care of us early birds. Cool, thanks.

 

[jvalioli]

Gamestop finally put the pre-order bonus on their website. I can finally sigh in relief.

 

[Chris Michael]

For those that have played the game - is it really that disappointing? I've heard a few discouraging things about the game.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

There are those that consider it disappointing because they just played number 3, which is the best in the series.

Of course a game will not live up to expectations if you compare it to the BEST GAME in the series.

 

[BorkBork]

My most anticipated game this year, although I'm kinda sad that this will be the last AA for a good while.

 

[RocketDarkness]

I have like a billion other games I want play. I can wait.

As someone that was never really into adventure games while growing up...I can honestly say that you should start at the first game, and enjoy every minute until the third game's fifth case is resolved. It's that good.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

No, in all honesty I was getting burned out with way too many releases.

Thank God we have to do what the Japanese do from this point onwards, wait 1-3 years between games so we don't get "Phoenix Wright Burn Out"

 

[jvalioli]

We might be getting new information on *something* Ace Attorney on April 20th. They're talking about a new project produced by Minae Matsukawa and Motohide Eshiro(Onimusha 2 and Shadow of Rome) in the Gyakuten Saiban Orchestra blog.

 

[ZealousD]

As someone that was never really into adventure games while growing up...I can honestly say that you should start at the first game, and enjoy every minute until the third game's fourth case is resolved. It's that good.

If I enjoy Apollo Justice enough I may do that. But I seriously don't want to make my "to buy" list larger than it already is.

You realize the third game has five cases, or do you hate the fifth one for some reason?

I was thinking "fifth" in my head, but my traitorous fingers typed a lesser number.

Hmm

Top five:

1. AA2-4
2. AA3-5
3. AA1-4

For me:
1. AA1-4
2. AA3-5
3. AA1-5
4. AA2-4
5. not sure... AA1-2 or AA3-4 I guess?

I want the limited edition

 

[Death_Born]

For me:
1. AA1-4
2. AA3-5
3. AA1-5
4. AA2-4
5. not sure... AA1-2 or AA3-4 I guess?

I want the limited edition

Here are my favorites:

2. AA1-4 (Edgeworth and the Loch Ness Monster)
3. AA3-5 (Bridge to the Turnabout (featuring Godot))
4. AA1-3 (Steel Samurai murdered)
5. AA2-4 (Nickel Samurai = ripoff but the second part is GOLD)

Yeah, I saw it on the Court Records website.

It would be interesting to see something like a Ace Attorney Anime or a Videogame sidestory (Franzika Von Karma: Genius Prosecutor :lol )

 

[QuickKick89]

To those who have played the online demo - how the hell do you get past the opening cutscene? For me, the cutscene plays, and then the DS goes black and I can't do anything more.

Only 2 more days, just wait for the real thing.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

I still have to wait until Play-Asia ships my copy, so more like only 22 more days for me

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Don't worry, there are lots of people who still hasn't even played Ace Attorney 3.

 

[Jocchan]

Play Asia is already shipping. I'll be waiting for mine too

 

[watkinzez]

I just went to check on my Play-Asia order, and it's already shipped!
Only took about five days for TaT last time, too.

 

[Haunted]

Play-Asia = shipping \o/


The next couple days will be torture.

 

[monkeylite]

Mine just shipped. Very likely to arrive on Friday, the release date of Patapon here. Oh the dilemma I will be facing that day.

 

[Sloane]

-Alexander O. Smith is back for translation

OMG, YES!

 

[jarosh]

yeah play-asia sent my preorder too. awesome.

 

[DangerStepp]

I have it preordered in the US. Hopefully it gets to me soon. I have the Japanese special edition:

But I'm still waiting for the US version to actually play through it.

(and yes, the LE is shaped like a briefcase)

Are we getting the LE version, too!?! (Please, please, please)

Also, what's up with the Nelson twins in this one?

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

Paid in full from videogamesplus.ca the momenth it was available

if there's a serie I don't want to miss, it's Ace Attorney

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

Play-Asia have shipped my cvopy! I ordered a deck of Gyakuten Saiban playing cards with it.

 

[Ramenman]

I have it preordered in the US. Hopefully it gets to me soon. I have the Japanese special edition:

[jvalioli]

Also, what's up with the Nelson twins in this one?

No, we aren't.

I'll post up pictures of what is inside for the person that asked.

Top thing is a DVD. It contains trailers and videos like that.

On the bottom left is the Gyakuten Saiban Encyclopedia. General information and trivia about the series.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Are we getting the LE version, too!?! (Please, please, please)

No, but we might be getting the Ace Attorney Encyclopedia

I agree, that encyclopedia is really cool and we're looking at ways to bring it to fans in the US. Currently, it is exclusive to Japan, unfortunately.
