No they don't have replay value but they are usually long, not sure about the exact length of this installment though

Yeah, Seems like another awesome Nintendo game. Want to check this out.

Previous games in the series have been awesome but they are not by Nintendo, they are made by Capcom

In my experience, you should get around 15-20 hours from an Ace Attorney game. I see no reason why that would be different for this either.

Since we're only a month away now, here's a video of every Ace Attorney breakdown (excluding Gyakuten Kenji 2) to celebrate!

SPOILERS, obviously

In the sense that there's multiplayer or anything else to do in the games outside of playing through the cases? No. If you replay them, it'll be because you want to experience the story again, like you do with a favorite book or TV show.

And 20 hours from beginning to end sounds about right for most AA games.

I really liked the demo! Now I can't wait to play this as its so different from what I'm use to playing. A nice relaxing game and read!

The demo was both campy and fun at the same time! It will appeal to anime fans as well but I can see how some would be turned off by that.

I wish I could play the demo, but I need to finish the other games first...or do I???

The demo was great. I loved the anime scenes but I couldn't help but feel as it the demo was trying really hard to make the gamer think Thena was cool. It was like... every scene in the game kept saying; "Look at Thena! Look at Thena! She's 18 and awesome!". I kinda think her personality falls under the CLASSIC generic anime female character. Lol I can literally think of several anime women who act JUST like Thena but its whatever. I LIKE Thena so its all good. Ace Attorney's thoughts during every scene in the game is hilarious. I'm buying the game.

The demo definitely left me wanting more. Can't wait till release. Love the character animations. Although they're 3D models, they maintain that classic PW feel.

Downloading demo at 79%... I can't wait to try it out! This may have to be my first entry in the Phoenix Wright series.

Now I haven't played but the first one but I believe I didn't see anything at least in the demo that would ruin the other games you are playing. At least nothing you couldn't see in trailers on youtube!

Amazing demo. It was way better than I thought it'd be. I love the music and graphics, they're very nice. I'm getting this for sure, but I'm going to play Apollo Justice first.

I said my download was "at" 79%? It seems to be more like "stuck" at 79%... >.<

Try doing Download later.

@CanisWolfred: Download later's what got stuck... >.>

I made a rather un-masculine giggle when they announced in the ND that the demo was available. I ended up having a lot of fun with it, just as I knew I would.

Now, back to my quest to finish re-playing Apollo Justice by October 24th.

Well, the news that Ace Attorney would be digital only left me burnt out on being excited for any news regarding it for a time, but after playing the demo this morning I was pretty happy. I vowed not to support the game after Capcom's decision, but now maybe I will get the game. I still feel very conflicted about the whole affair, and perhaps I still won't get it, but who knows.

In any case, I found something interesting on Capcom's blog. They have an article that in-depth discusses the localization process that Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies went through, mainly focusing on Simon Blackquill's background and character:

Also, the downloadable costume pack will be available for free from Oct. 24th to Nov. 7th - after that they'll be $.99. Which is neat, I guess - "nothing" is the only price I would've paid for such superfluous DLC.

Still no word yet on how much the DLC case will cost, though, or exactly when it will be released.

Hmm... I couldn't imagine the case costing more than around $5-7. I think the Japanese version fell around that price if I remember correctly.

A great appetizer for the actual game. I was going to buy it anyway but this just cemented my purchase.

Few things stuck out though: the vocabulary and measurements were all American even in the European demo. Sure, I can convert inches to cm in my head, but I still hope they'll localise those too to save me the trouble.
And I agree with @Blastoise-san they were trying too hard with Athenas character. Hopefully it's just in the demo, if they wanted to introduce her quickly.

On that note Athena, Apollo and Juniper Woods? What's next, Zeus Bolt?
