I've heard a lot of good impressions about the Japanese release. I'm pretty sure they could spin this series off if successful, so I might as well help! The game is more of a click and point adventure than previous installments, and it features a new gameplay mechanics like "Logic" (string different pieces of data in a coherent manner to reach a conclusion) and "Investigation" (self-explanatory).

Also:

Ace Attorney sprites with legs are fucking weird, man.

...goddamn it I knew I was forgetting something.

Already got it--I honestly thought it would be a few days before it actually got to the local gameshop, and was just stopping in to ask them how long they thought it would be, but lo and behold, it was waiting for me, a clear contradiction to my beliefs.

Played through the first Turnabout already, getting started on the second. I had forgotten how much I missed this series.

The timing is terrible for me. I can't reconcile its purchase with myself until I've finished my fuckton of assignments that are due this week - I KNOW that I'll be unable to tear myself away from it until I'm done, so I'm just not going to buy it for a few days.

The worst part is up until as late as last week I thought it'd be a day one purchase. Then, surprise! Homework buffet with a side order of midterm.

I think this is my favorite Ace Attorney game so far. It's cheesy, fun, and does a better job of balancing out the investigating and cross-examining than previous games. The logic bits are also pretty fun.

I'm on the second chapter and just loving it so damn much. During the first chapter I could not stop grinning like an idiot.

Do I need to have played the first games before heading into this? I got through the majority of the first game and I've inadvertently read spoilers of most of the rest of the series, so I'm considering skipping forward to this one.

NO! You must experience the greatness that is Godot!

COFFEE~

I would also like to take this moment to point out that the sprites in this game are a lot more detailed and that is wonderful and awesome.

I'm probably going to hear a "I know, Mirai," once I finish this post but the original Ace Attorney trilogy was a GBA game they ported to the DS to bring stateside.

The problem was that they didn't even bother to redo the old sprites when they appeared for a cameo in Apollo Justice. And it was lame.

I was WONDERING why Phoenix's face changed shape so much between his hobo and lawyer versions.
