Re: Feature: "We Were Aware Of The Fans' Wishes" - Rescuing The 3DS Games For Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy

It's somewhat reassuring to hear that Ace Attorney hasn't ended yet. Though, I'd like to see a brand new entry before we get onto porting the Investigations spin-offs.

Anyways, I'm fairly excited to play this trilogy. I think Apollo Justice has the coolest soundtrack in the series, and I'd finally be able to play Spirit of Justice.

@Lizuka MY EXTRATERRITORIAL RIGHTS ARE TOO POWERFUL TO LET THIS GAME END!

Investigations is one of least favorites, but I also think its sequel is better. I have issues with the game for its bloated cast and pacing (sometimes I wanted to strangle Edgeworth with his cravat for his repetitive phrases), but I think it has great character arcs and heartfelt story moments. Logic Chess is also a fun mechanic that kept me on my toes with its time limit. The Investigations spin-offs adds a lot to the world of Ace Attorney by revisiting familiar characters and expanding backstories with greater context. Also, Dick Gumshoe is in the game.

It's incredible that these remakes actually exist. The brand new visuals, soundtrack, and voice acting does help modernize these old games. However, the game can be frustratingly obtuse with its multitude of options making it difficult to determine the correct course of action. I also find the English localization to be lacking. The disparity between what was said from the Japanese dub and what the English subtitles read can be distracting. The voice acting can be lackluster at times that I tend to skip over it and just read the text instead. Outside of the games themselves the ~$60 price tag is quite steep, which is unfavorable when compared to the competition like Ace Attorney.

I might sound critical, but make no mistake that I am still grateful for the experience and quite engaged with its story.

I only played its sequel on the Nintendo DS years ago, and it was technically impressive at the time running at 60fps along with some detailed gory visuals.

Based on the trailer alone it looks like you cannot hold the flashlight with a weapon at the same time unlike in the sequel, and the leeches sound obnoxious as always. I wonder if you can still cheese the same boss fight by just staying inside the elevator, and I would to love to see the Doctor dodging bullets when using a sniper rifle against him. I'm not sure how well this game holds up today, but it's pretty neat to see this nonetheless.
