Here is the official trailer for the Perfect Prosecutor game coming out for the DS! For those of you who don’t know, it is a spin-off of the beloved Ace Attorney series:
Thanks to NeoGAF and Famitsu.
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney has been dated for Europe. Nintendo announced today that the fourth entry in the Ace Attorney series is set to hit store shelves May 9th. The estimated retail price is to be £28/€40. Below is a quote from my review of the game:
“All in all, if you loved the Phoenix Wright games, you’ll love this game just as well. The gameplay is essentially the same: Watch the crime through an intro, investigate the crime by interviewing characters and searching for clues, and then go to court and use your evidence and knowledge to extrapolate the truth from the person on the witness stand. Great dialogue and music help the game live up to the quality of the Phoenix Wright series, but new gameplay additions specific to the DS, and even added touches such as FMV’s (yep!!) help this game stand out so you don’t feel like it is just a rehash of the same old stuff. While the game does include characters and other surprises from the previous games, don’t expect everything to be cleared up or you’ll be disappointed as I was. Apollo Justice is its own story and an interesting one at that, and it’ll be exciting to see where it goes.”
Basically, go out and buy this game if you’re a fan of the Phoenix Wright trilogy, as you have nothing to worry about. You can read my full review here.

Those of you wanting to hop into the Ace Attorney series beginning with Apollo Justice, I advise you not to. Despite the name change, the Phoenix Wright trilogy plays a more important role in Apollo Justice than what you may initially think. While it certainly isn’t vital, you will have a diminished experience and a weaker grasp on specific characters and events. I urge you to play through the series in order. They are all excellent games and well worth your time, and as is widely known, the Ace Attorney series is all about the stories and characters.
I have placed the demo for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (the fourth game in the Ace Attorney series) here that was released by Capcom a couple of weeks ago! The demo gives you a full recreation from the first part of Case 1, so besides holding the actual DS in your hands, the experience is exactly the same. Make sure you have the latest version of Flash Player if it doesn’t work. I know I had to update mine for Firefox as it was only working in Internet Explorer. Enjoy! (give it a few seconds to load)
Firefox does have trouble with flash players even after updating your version, so you may need to use Internet Explorer regardless.
Me Three!
So I completed this game a few days ago, and even though I purchased it as soon as it came out, it took me this long to do it. Because of this, I have decided to make this the first post in my long series of “LTTP” (Late to the Party) posts. Included in this post are high quality artwork images, screens from the games, along with whole playable songs! Click the play button on any of the little music players you see to hear them.
That’s right! The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for the Nintendo DS has been given an October 19th release date for Europe. While it’s only a little under two months away, check out these nine screens to help ease the wait:
