The Ace Attorney Special

Wrapped my ears around part two - we did some good speaks!

I've been made privy to Jay's plans for relaunching the podcast - for it is really his baby - and I am really looking forward to them. It's gonna fun on a bun - in your ears.

News from TGS is that the first trilogy is getting the HD treatment and coming to PS4, Switch, Xbox One and PC

I've never really played an Ace Attorney game, so this is great for me and is something that even though it's coming to Xbox One isn't something that I find will be better on that then on Switch where it to me makes sense being what once was a handheld game.

I'm on the last case of Justice for All and my 3DS seems to be on its last legs so if I can struggle through it's issues to finish it then I might just pick this up on Switch solely for the last game in the trilogy.

I'll be picking it up on Switch to support the series and hopefully convince Capcom to get the rest - including the unreleased Japanese-only games - over to Switch too. Besides, it's been long enough since my original playthrough of the trilogy.

Let me know your thoughts on the cast if you do end up checking out the trilogy too!

I'm sticking with it on WiiWare!

I still have the trilogy unplayed on 3ds and they seem a better fit there so I don't think I'll rebuy it on Switch.

I've only just finished it on 3DS, i wont be replaying on Switch so soon.
That said, Shen played through the first game on my 3ds while she washere and i checked then to see if it was on steam. It wasn't, but now tat it is I'll probably buy her a copy and then she can stream it and we can play through together.

It doesn't have to be one or the other (ports or new games), surely? The Switch is almost two years old and Capcom hasn't released a single new game on the Switch. I'm pretty sure Wii received Zack and Wiki long before this point in its lifecycle.

Yes... Great for people who own other machines and want some big-screen attorney action, I suppose? But I feel like this is a chuffing cop-out. Maybe I'm being entitled, but I'd expect something other than the umpteenth new re-release of the trilogy on a Nintendo platform. Either an AJ Trilogy release, or an Investigations release, or (god forbid) a packaging of the two 'Great' games, translated and that.

Obviously expecting AA7 any time soon is silly.

I think that's a bit unfair - I suspect this was more geared to getting the Ace Attorney Trilogy onto platforms that have never experienced the games before (Playstation, Xbox and PC) and the relative ease of bringing it to Switch at the same time meant that Nintendo would be getting this port too. What would your thoughts have been had they not bothered to port it to Switch? You'd have been upset then too - perhaps even more so.

Yes probably, and I think you're right about their aims here... at the same time, that kind of firms up Fronk's point, doesn't it?  Capcom's bringing a practically Nintendonly series to other machines, when there's a new Nintendo machine crying out for something Nintendo fans haven't seen before.  The teams are surely different, new software and porting; but I've got to wonder what Capcom's prime Switch teams have been doing.  Have we seen much, or anything?  I could have missed something. (And there will be some overlap, marketing resources etc.)

It's been port city, but I'm hopeful there's something in the pipeline that we'll see at an eventual Nintendo Direct. We did get some rumblings last year of future Ace Attorney games to come, so hopefully this is the start of all that.

I finally listened to these! The podcast app on my phone can find more episodes than the one on my kindle so I was able to scroll back to these

I enjoyed hearing lots of chat about the good cases, I didn't enjoy the bottom five cast quite so much. You know how I am with negativity and I think even my lowest-ranked cases I was still more positive about than most.

Still, good stuff. More content please Jay.

I genuinely can't remember what was on my lowest ranked case list - I imagine the circus one from AA2 and the soba storyteller one from AA6 were in there.

Glad you enjoyed it! I'd love to do a similar deep dive into another series like this at some point.

Woohoo, great to see you coming back to this boss! I'm afraid I had a grand old time blowing off steam about my less-loved cases, especially Turnabout Fecking Big Top. It comes from a place of love... which is why I had a grand old time talking about my favourite cases too!
