Anyone getting this game? Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tributations
Seems like the last installment of the Phoenix Wright arc in the Ace Attorney series is finally comming out in America next month. With that said, anyone planning to preorder the game? I heard that the Capcom and Gamestop preorder will include a Phoenix Wright Plush and the game itself will have english less typos than the japanese version.
Having bought and beat the import (it has the option to make it english like the US release) a few days ago, I have to say that this is the best Phoenix Wright arc game so far. It also seems to finish off the Phoenix's story arc quite nicely, which I guess why they started with a new character in the fourth game; the third game focuses more on a certain character's background and with that said, is the most shocking game so far.
Not sure if l will get the US version just for the plush; it is damn tempting.

As for the plush, you can probably order it and get it from Capcom when it is in stock. They seem to include preorder items with all their games months after it was released.
The game is pretty good since it more story driven as in the majority of the cases in AA3 relates to one another much like how the episodes are in the Sam and Max games.
The last case in trials and tributations is probably the best in the Phoenix Wright arc despite that one can question about the case.
I wish more developers would realise we need that sort of maturity in games, rather than "GORE SWEARS BEWBS" which seems to be the trend at the minute =/.
Even though it contradicts the the first three games, it however, is canon since some of the characters from that DS only case are in the fourth Ace Attorney game.
Sorry about replying to this topic, but I am currently obsessed with the series; I tend to do this with a game I just played and like. Once the fourth Ace Attorney game comes out globally, I will once again make another AA topic and make a bunch of comments.
I pre-ordered the second one too when it was coming out (at store level), but Gamestop gypped me of the finger stylus.
Needless to say I'm stoked can't wait for the 3rd to come out!
Mel: you should try to get Justice for All. If the 1st game's any indication it will probab;y reference some things from the previous games. And while you can play them w/o knowing beforehand, it would fill out some things and bring more to light.
Tho case 4 of that game is a must-see imo
Psshhh. PSP. Am I glad I decided to get the DS over that!
You could just get an older DS model. I got mine used for $80 at GameStop. It works wonderfully and I couldn't see spending $50 more just for a 'brighter screen' and something that was skinnier (and that I'd probably break
Colors are more vibrant, you can actually see things you couldn't see before. it's just marvelous.
Also: concerning DS vs. PSP I was really on the fence on whether I'd actually get a PSP or not (I knew the DS was a lock for me. Just needed a game to come out that I really wanted to justify buying it. That and a price drop.). I personally thought the disc format (and a propitary format at that) for a portable was a risk and the price was too rich for my blood. But it jus looked so sleek and cool and could have some potential... eventually.
But then it was released....
And some people were complaining about how the right d-pad and square buttons could get stuck...
and someone opened one up and saw groves cut into the lcd screen edge to accomadate said right d-pad and square buttons, which, if they move too far over, could cause them to get stuck...
At first I thought. "ah. that's all right. something they could fix later. after all it was just launched. surely there were some flaws they failed to see and will rectify later."
Then Ken Katuragi opened his big mouth and stated: (may not be exact quote, but pretty close to it) "It was done that way on purpose. We didn't want to make the system any bigger or the screen any smaller. So get used to it."
When I read that I thought "What a moron." and felt quite insulted. From that point on I thought "'Get used to it?' All right. I'll 'get used to it'. And I'll tell you how I'll 'get used to it': I won't buy the thing. Ever. No matter what game comes out for it. THAT is how I'll 'get used to it'."
And to this day (and more than likely the foreseeable future) I've lived up to that promise. Course the system's line up of games helped in that aspect.
despite that tho I still support the PS2 and am considering a ps3 (mostly for games like MGS4 and FFXIII) but PS3 hasn't been bought yet because of the absurd price. And to a lesser extent some of sony's chatter about PS3. Tho I'm willing to chalk those to rambling of people who have lost contact with what the gamer's want while saying they still know what the gamer's want.
Can't wait!
The first one is better than the second one. And the third one is better than the first one. I can also see how playing the second one first could cause you to feel less attached to the characters; you missed their introductions, after all.
Still, it's subjective. You don't have to like it
Great games!
Now I'm sitting here impatiently waiting for the two Phoenix Wright games to arrive.
Shipping date has been pushed a whole week. Hrmph!
Ohh and also waiting for "Mystery Detective" and "Touch Detective ½"
I dunno about trading 2 in to get 1 tho. But if that's what you feel you have to do, then do so.
And in relation to what jake said, while 3 is pretty much throw away (but intresting in crime execution, even tho I figured out the overall method right away, just didn't know who or why.
Incidentally, I played through Touch Detecive 2 1/2 and while better than the 1st, still weak compared to Ace Attorney
Actually, the final case is quite important as well, as it introduces some important characters and brings back some MORE important ones...
who the heck is introduced in the final case of Justice For All that is relevant to the third game?
By the way, the official site is here: http://www.ace-attorney.com/
It's also a Nintendo DS game so there aren't even any legal downloads available for it.
Besides, 2-4 is one of my favorite cases of the whole series. It's just 2-3 that feels like unnecessary filler...
But I agree w/ cyber. Case 4 of PW 2 is one of my faves.
Tho at 2st when I browsed the FAQs for this one I was surprised that
But dear god, 1 case has the most femine looking man I've seen (and I read lots of manga, watch a lot of anime, and play a lot of Japanese games), and then the next case gayest looking guy I've ever seen. lol
