"November has been one incredible month for Nintendo gaming." Unless you're a european cavestory fan, in which case, nicalis hates you.
How on earth do they get it released twice in america before they can even get the first one out in europe, despite their promises that they were going to get it out in europe first then do a patch for america, which obviously didn't happen in that order. Bah humbug
Nice, I hope they cycle them more regularly than the nintendo channel demos though, and last time I ended up buying 3 of the demo'd games i hadn't ever planned on buying, as did quite a few people, so Its about time nintendo decided they want more money
If it means they don't need to waste more time trying to cut stuff out and thereby making the game not worth buying in the first place, then I say they go for it!
Of those, I would only consider buying two of them at launch, and they are both ports. So thats a no to buying it at launch from me if thats all they have to offer.
No word on demos? It'd be pretty bad if nintendo skipped out on them again, it's hard enough to excuse them missing on the wii which launched a few years ago, on a 3DS now? It's downright disgusting if they're still missing
If they're revamping them to have 3d, I hope they give them graphical uplifts too. Black and white games were ok 20 years ago, but I'm not entirely sure that'll swing so well now
@24 Where do you people keep getting this idea from that it having adventure in the name makes it = sonic adventure 3? For one thing, following that logic, it's supposed to be sonic adventure 4 as sonic rush adventure would be "3". Unleashed has nothing in common with either adventure game, other than the common elements that are in every sonic game, and it was so clearly based on sonic & secret rings for the day stages that I can't fathom where people get this idea
@20 @21 Really, you think that it's going to be beneficial, how? It's not going to be better than wiifit in any way or form for the "purpose" they're trying to sell it for, and I'm darn sure it won't be any better in aiding people who need to relearn walking or anything severe like that.
And then there is the fact it's from the same people responsible for "Flashlight" and "Discolight". If that doesn't ring any warning bells, then I don't know what does

Good. Would be nice to actually do some prosecuting in this one though. Another phoenix/apollo game without all the elements of investigating in AAI 1 would be a worthless piece of junk. They were ok, but by the 4th game everything was clearly going stale, A 5th one with nothing changed gameplaywise would have been terrible (actually, apollo already was but thats another story).
Also, is it just me or does the far left of the screenshot look like it has edgeworths portrait in the partner box?
@5. Autofollowing paths of rings was all the way back in sonic 3 + knuckles (possibly 2 as well) at set times- which is exactly what the wisps let you do. I'm sure no-one needs explaining where climbing and flying ablities are in the megadrive/genesis games
Bought it, frankly, hated it. Would have been better without dying and as a DS title. It seems too much effort to play it on wii where i'td be more at home in short play sessions on DS
Heres hoping its decently long. I seem to remeber sega saying something like they included the werehog in unleashed because it'd be difficult to produce a lengthy sonic game in the style of only "day stages". That could be balanced by it being a wii game rather than a 360/ps3 game which are (supposedly) more difficult and time consuming to create games on, but who knows.
To heck with FF, it doesn't need to be anything to do with the first game, as long as it uses a similar art/music/gameplay style, i'll be day 1'ing it for sure.
@3 investigations a disappointment?!? It was my favourite game in the series. Apollo justice easily being my least favourite. Investigations at least tried to reinvigorate a dead horse, which the series had become by the time we reached Apollo, I love the storyline but there was so much wrong with the point'n' click model of the first 4 games that shows it age now. Everything else from the games was excellent, but the seriously poor "gameplay" outside of courtroom is appalling, and AAI improved on it significantly while keeping everything good from the previous games, and improving on it significantly.
Examining crime scenes as Edgeworth makes much more sense as to how you go about it than how phoenix did it, "logic" could use improvement to include using evidence and possibly profiles rather than bits of text.
The music in Edgeworth, I thought at least, was so much better, it did an amazing job of using the DS hardware, at least in comparison to the first 4, and I definitely prefer the main themes from AAI (like cornered and objection) to some of the other entries, except maybe the themes from the first game.
Could have done with some trials, but other than that, I liked it and would definetly want more. Doubt I'd go for a another helping of apollo justice, or a phoenix wright game that didn't make use of some of the major advancements in AAI, especially the new method of investigating crime scenes
Also, capcom obviously doesn't care if he thinks the Ace attorney series are over with or not, since they already released AAI without him.
