Well, Lana Skye is not around anymore, so she can't really be an asset. I think there are rumours floating around she's supposed to be dead. Oh, and the Magatama can be fooled by halftruth. In 2-4 Engarde didn't killed anyone after all.

Anyone else notice just how stacked Phoenix's law firm anything agency is by this point? Just think about this roster (I won't spoil this part, since it doesn't have much to do with AA:DD, but novices to the series probably shouldn't continue reading):

- Phoenix Wright, pretty much flawless defense record, holder of a magical item that literally lets him see when people are keeping secrets.
- Apollo Justice, excellent defense record, holder of a magical bracelet that literally lets him discern when people are lying.
- Athena Cykes, psychologist lawyer with super-hearing who can literally hear people's emotions and who has a technological marvel to hone that ability.
- Trucy Wright, only like the greatest magician in the world.
- Charley, veteran house plant

Excuse me, the bracelet is not magical, Apollo has good eyesight and the bracelet is there to help him concentrate at the right time.

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.

True dat. Although not being able to examine literally every background while investigating in AA5 really sped things up, I wish we could've at least investigated the office. How am I supposed to focus on the case if I don't know if Charley's getting watered or if Mia's law books are getting ignored?

It's also criminal that we haven't had a case based around one of Trucy's magic acts yet. All we ever see are her "magic panties" disappearing tricks.

Has there been any indication from Capcom that an AA6 is in the pipeline? There were a bunch of hints near the end about Maya's training wrapping up soon, which felt like a sequel tease.

Also, Apollo is bullshit and therefore his super-eyesight is bullshit. The magical bracelet is slightly less bullshit because I suppose someone other than Apollo could wear it.

At the end of Ace Attorney 4, didn't Shadi Smith/Zak Gramarye tell Phoenix the bracelet is made out of some fictional material that expands and contracts based on how tense the wearer is feeling, and that it only works if a member of the Gramarye family is wearing it?

That's some magical bullshit right there.

It doesn't expand/contract, it just "uses body heat" or some bullshit to contract to fit the wrist exactly.

The magic is the wearer tensing up when someone lies and because the bracelet is already so tight, they notice it. Also, Apollo was somehow able to put his bandages on under it.

My sister, who's a huge huge fangirl of the series, texted me that trailer with "EXCITED YET?!?" I don't have the heart to tell her the iOS graphics made my heart sink instead of rejoice. :smith:

Hopefully they'll just use the DS script files for the English translation. I mean...that has to be easier than rewriting it or pulling it from the iOS version, right?

I didn't realize so many people hated the iOS graphics, most of the sprites look really nice on the iPhone at least (although there are admittedly a few funky ones). Not that it makes up for literally everything else about the port, but still.

The sprites themselves aren't awful, but they do seem oddly rougher than the original sprites, and there is the whole missing frames of animation thing.

Suspicious Cook

Beyond the missing frames, the iOS port was a glitchy catastrophe complete with game ending bugs and added typos not even present in the originals. I can only hope the new combo pack fixes all of that. It would be nice if they revamped all the music for the new hardware too, but now I'm just getting crazy.

One difference at least is that the sprites for people in that trailer were blinking, whereas I don't think they did in the iOS version.

They didn't allow for blinking because they only had two frames for most poses. It made for some "stellar" animation:

I'd love to get my hands on the original trilogy again, since I gave my copies of the DS games to a friend. But I'm enamoured with the sprite style of those games, and more forgiving of the clunky animation as a result. Seeing the same animations upscaled just really highlights how clunky they are, and I'm not all that fond of the rendering. I'd be pretty peeved if Gyakuten 123 is just iOS 123 with like three layers of depth. However the alternative is expecting Capcom to recreate all three games using the Dual Destinies format which is unreasonable and time-consuming. The alternative alternative is Capcom recreating the first game using the Dual Destinies format and putting it on the eShop, a similar test to see if people respond favorably to it and the idea of DD'ing the next two games.

Also my mind inexplicably links the idea of HD/iOS sprites to Phoenix Drive of all things. It's probably to do with the fact they had to use CG for it?

From the music in the trailer, it sounds like they're doing just that. Personally, I hope they improve on the UI. They should make it like DD and let you skip text from the start.
