Get ready to step back into the courtroom, because Capcom has announced an Ace Attorney anime series that will debut next year. Going by the character designs shown, it appears to take place during the original trilogy of the franchise.

Western release please. Possibly even on the 3DS Anime Channel.
Well, even if it's not the case, we all know that someone will fansub it :) The only advantage of a dub here would be to have the translated names and voices (God knows how I love when he screams "Objection !" and "Take that !" :D)

Like Ritsuki said, Phoenix Wright without any "Objection!" is disappointing (I know he'll still say it, but not in English). Aside from that, I'm all for it. Here's to hoping it's actually new content.

Funnily enough I have the Ace Attorney movie on DVD, but for reasons I will never understand my PS3 gives me a region lock error, despite not giving me that error on any other DVD from the same region, or any other region for that matter. It's the only DVD/Blu Ray in my entire extensive collection that I need to watch through the DVD player built into the side of my TV, which necessitated finding the remote control. A lot of hassle just for one DVD.

At least the movie was fairly decent, at least by video game movie standards. One of the few that actually hold up IMO, alongside the Prince of Persia movie and debatably Tekken, though my opinion may be swayed somewhat by Christie Montiero's fabulous ass.

Mh, we'll see if it gets any good. I'd like it to cover the story from the first trilogy, and I would not like too much material, with silly fillers.. better to have less stuff, but actually good, that sticks to the games.

12 episodes to cover roughly 3 games, or roughly 60 hours? Two seasons might make that easier to happen, but they'd have to find a good stopping point between seasons, and the middle of the second game doesn't really cut it.

Mh, honestly, there's much more story in the third game that in the second and first one, with all the Diego Armando and Mia background. I'd sum up the first two games in a first season, cutting all the unnecessary, and focus on the third one in a second season, imho. But I'm sure Capcom has different plans :D

I am definitely happy to hear this news. Hell, I'll admit I squealed like a little girl for a bit. But at the same time, I'm preparing myself for a butchering. Better to be pleasantly surprised than to be disappointed because I set my expectations way too high

I'm not sure I'd enjoy an anime about courtrooms but I would have said the same thing about the Ace Attorney games had I not played them.
I love the games, so I'll have to check this out once it's subbed (or dubbed, but you know how crappy anime dubs tend to be)

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
