RE: Ace Attorney

Real talk: I have no idea what jury duty means.  And at this rate, I doubt I ever will.

Awesome in the Court

When I got my hands on Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, I -- through some beginner’s luck -- pulled off a few wins with Phoenix Wright.  Since then, I haven’t duplicated the same success (though I’ve made a turnabout or two).  Maybe it’s just my lack of skill in fighting games, but often winning with Phoenix Wright can be like climbing a mountain without arms or legs. But that’s all right, because 1) he’s still the lead in one of my favorite franchises, and 2) holy crap Ace Attorney 5 is coming.

Capcom’s made a lot of…iffy decisions, but I can’t help but love the company.  They’re THE developers of stylish crazy action and hyper combos; it’s like every game they make has to overflow with pizzazz or they’ll explode.  Ace Attorney is no exception, and I have high hopes for the next installment.  With a sequel comes a chance for improvement.  Not just new stories, but a chance to fix old mistakes.  And of course, there’s plenty of reason to believe that the game will pop up on the 3DS -- new technology for new experiences.

But then I thought to myself.  “What if Ace Attorney 5 WASN’T a 3DS release?  What if it came out on consoles?”  And just that, a big smile started to spread across my face.
