Did you notice that Ace Attorney Trilogy remake didn't have the anime lawyer eyes right before the cross-examination stage of the court cases? You know the ones we mean, right? Hold on, we'll show you.
Yeah, Capcom removed those from the HD remake, and though many of us probably didn't notice, others did. Like Edgeworth, for example, who no doubt missed staring glaring into his rival's eyes.
But worry no longer, Edgey-poo! Those peepers are going to make their return in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, as the cross-examinations begin. Of course, Edgey-poo won't be in the game, and neither will Phoenix Wright, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the baby-brown eyes of the lovely Ryunosuke Naruhodo.
Anyway, there you have it. The story is literally what the title says! If you clicked on it, you're either extremely invested in lawyer eyes, or you wondered what on earth we were talking about. Hopefully, we satisfied both of you. Now go, and spread the word. The eyes are back.

No objections here.
It's a small detail, but also such a big deal.
And the eyes have it.
Is this to meet an article quota?
@tseliot that or Kate really likes ace attorneys. Which I’m sure is the case 😁
Aha, I have a great dislike for the HD trilogy because it ruins the iconic look of the original and didn't bother to fix all/introduced new typos. I knew there were more reasons to criticize it.
I know many may be quick to judge, but this series is all about characters and personality.
The magnificent WiiWare releases on the other hand, are identical to how they look on DS, no blurry scaling, has the GBA music sounding crystal clear and can be played comfortably with one hand! I can't think of any reason why this isn't the definitive way to play ...aside from not being able to buy it anymore.
@PoopScoop I've been sort of seeing a lot of "articles" about useless things or who modded this and that, essentially crappy articles that's just overcrowding the what quality is left on this site if you can manage to shift through the junk.
It's like trying to sift through the iOS Apple store looking for quality apps because most of what's on there is garbage. That's how I feel this site has become of late.
@Thwomp_Stomper @PoopScoop @tseliot I'm guessing you guys don't play Ace Attorney games.
In this case, it's a major detail as it is iconic for the series Very relevant news for people who love Ace Attorney.
I'm here for any and all Ace Attorney news, 'news', or any other kind of article - especially when it's written by Kate, who is obviously very passionate about the series in addition to being one of the most entertaining gaming journos I've read.
@Dunan,
Well, there's no news and they have to keep the site afloat. I wonder if they can't do more worthwhile things, like posting awesome game-music remixes from the internet. Or more cool fan-videos. That would all be much better then: "Look, in this game Mario's nose is 1 inch longer".
Hardly earth-shattering news but I don't think the website is made a worse place by the existence of light, frivolous articles about specific game details like this. Lends the place more of a fun, silly tone which I'm on board for. Far better than the alternative of having nothing but serious and clinical news breakdowns.
A lot of misery in the world (particularly in the comments section of game news websites, cough) so why not spice it up with the stern eyes of a fictional lawyer?
@tseliot basically 90% of what she writes is like this. More of a soapbox writer than anything, but that's not necessarily bad. It's a Nintendo fan site first and foremost, not Bloomberg
One can never have too many dramatic AA close-ups.
Erm..."Edgey-poo"? Methinks someone might have a slight virtual crush on Edgeworth....
Neat little tidbit. Can't say it's something I was aware of and probably wouldn't have even known was a thing in the original trilogy otherwise. Still need to play it....
I am being forced at gunpoint to write articles about Phoenix Wright's eyes, it's true
@Blizzia I played most of them actually lol.
They removed the glarey eyes in the HD version? But that was the best part!
What do you call Phoenix Wright with no eyes? Phoenx Wrght!
@PoopScoop I actually think I tagged you by accident xD My apologies! I only meant to tag thwomp and tseliot.
@Thwomp_Stomper Well then I guess you like Ace Attorney games too
@Blizzia For sure! I did main Phoenix In marvel v capcom 3 😂
That being said if I ever had the privilege of writing for a game site, you all would get a thousand smash bros/shantae articles a week 😆
@Tyranexx That, and/or she's channeling her inner Oldbag.
my fellow ace attorney fans, is the bottom row supposed to be an ancestor of winston payne ? lol
@e-love Eeyup.
@Flashlink99 Oh, I was just giving her a hard time but comparing anyone to Bloomberg is a high insult.
