Telltale Games

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.

While that plush is quite awesome, I wont be getting it...At least not preordering anyway...but I hope it is awesome because I really like the series and stuff...

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've only played the first one so far, but I thought Case 4 (Turnabout Goodbyes) was really well done, story and puzzle-wise. I had to feel really sorry for Edgeworth, all the way through the case, especially towards the end.
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 =/.

doom saber · 09/13/2007, 09:28 am

For the PW games, the last case are always the best; case 4 (Turnabout Goodbyes) is originally the final case for the first PW game. The fifth one (Rise to Ashes) is actually a new one that was made years after the first three games came out for the Gamboy Advance; it was a new case exclusively for the DS, which is why it contradicts the whole PW arc. When you play the other two PW games, forget what happens in Rise to Ashes since the PW 2 and PW3 is not updated to inluded the rectons that Rise to Ashes made. For instance, Edgeworth in case 5.

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.

LuigiHann · 09/29/2007, 08:26 pm

Preordered it. But I already know that it is awesome.

djoftheweb · 09/30/2007, 12:48 pm

I love the game, I beat the import copy a while back. Also I think you can buy the plushy online, I swear I saw it on court records.

**Jake** · 09/30/2007, 03:39 pm

I'm a little over 3/4 through an import copy of the game (The Japanese versions include a near-final English translation), and I've enjoyed it far more than the second game. The cases in Trials and Tribulations seem to be more connected and all have a reason to be in the game, while in the second one, half of them seemed like filler.

Mel · 09/30/2007, 05:07 pm

I preordered it (partly to get the plushie

). I've only played Ace Attorney (and still need to complete case 5). I'm wondering if I should get And Justice For All? There's a lot of me that wants to just to see what happens to the characters.

Dedlok · 09/30/2007, 06:33 pm

I rarely pre-order games (only do it if it has something cool w/ it only when you pre-order) and I definitly pre-ordered thru the gamestop website when I saw it came w/ that plushie!

I pre-ordered the second one too when it was coming out (at store level), but Gamestop gypped me of the finger stylus. :/ I wanted to put that on my cell phone, dang it! I woulda ordered it thru capcom but I don't like buying the same game twice.

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 I know I felt gut-wrenched myself when I knew my client was in fact truly guilty of a crime and yet I'm being forced against my will to try to prove him innocent. Just trying to hold back my urge to present the proper evidence and bring the truth to light tore me up. I enjoyed it when he eventually got his comeuppance.

But like others said, you can go ahead and do case 5 of the 1st, then forget most of the events as they do contradict stuff talked about during most of the cases in Justice (particularly a reveal in case 3 and what happens in case 4)

SADLY its ds.. and i have yet to get any new model anything due to the fact I cannot justify how they use such old tech in them. But the amount of games speak for themselves. That and sam & max hit the road works well on it :P

**Jake** · 10/01/2007, 12:41 pm

You should get a PSP! It's nothing but cutting edge technology! ignore its complete lack of games, with the exception of Loco-Roco

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

). It's worth it for the games (both adventure and non).

tabacco · 10/01/2007, 02:52 pm

But the screen is so much brighter! It really does make a difference, at least to me. I like that my DS is easily playable outdoors

Dedlok · 10/01/2007, 04:01 pm

When the DS Lite came out (on my birthday, no less!) I immiediatly made an upgrade (despite just getting my DS back in December) and I tell ya it's a world of difference in picture quality w/ that brighter light. Even a co-worker of mine who desn't even play video games kept commenting on how much better it looked.

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 I was at a point where if a game that I really liked would have made me get it.

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.

The most that a game got to me (cept loco roco) was a mild intrigue. And whenever I even feel a slight intrest in a PSP game that quote comes to mind and dashes the thought away.

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.

Mel · 10/01/2007, 09:55 pm

Well Doug and Dedlok, I'm a cheap bastardess right now.

I'll bet it's a lot nicer to look at but it wasn't enough to entice me right now.

Dedlok · 10/21/2007, 02:46 pm

Reminder that this game comes out this week!

Can't wait!

abdallah · 10/21/2007, 05:22 pm

Just got the second one after all the talk and frankly I'm not so enthralled by it as everyone seems to be. I'm not much for detective fiction in general unless it's very good, but apart from that I don't find the stories or characters so far to be very funny or interesting. It has its moments but ah to each his own I guess.

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
