I was kind of hoping Capcom would make a game about Gregory Edgeworth or Mia Fey, but this game looks promising too. I suppose this guy does bear a resemblance to Phoenix Wright, except he doesn't seem to have as crazy of a hairstyle.

On a side note, I recently finished case 3 of AAI2,

which had Gregory Edgeworth playable.

Sounds incredible if you ask me. The series has kinda lacked the absolute genius it held when Shu Takumi was on board, so seeing him take things for a new spin is always interesting.

On a different note, the original trilogy has been repackaged again for the 3ds, but no words on an English release have been spoken. The game has an English setting though so if anyone here has a Japanese 3ds then you're golden.

good

I was getting tired of that stuff, they really took away from the genuine deaths and testimonies.
I kind of hate what the Fey clan had to offer to the game.

TEASER!

[LlamaHombre]

Gyakuten Kenji 2's official translation patch is fully completed as of today, and you can get the patch itself from here.

Obviously I'm not pointing anyone in the direction of roms needed to play it - that's your dilemma.

Again, be careful about posting spoilers, and have fun playing!

The Judge is the best character by far. He just eats Cheez Its and the bone. He also doesn't take shit from Von Karma

I just finished playing through Layton Vs. Wright, and enjoyed it for the most part. The unique twist on testimonies was neat, as was the medieval-fantasy setting and how Phoenix reacted to it. The graphics and music were wonderful, and it was cool having classic Phoenix Wright and Maya taking on new cases. I've never played any of the Layton series before, but I enjoyed the brain-teaser puzzles too; the investigation parts of AA games can be a little dry, so I think Layton's contribution of puzzles helped in that regard.

One thing I wasn't a fan of (end game spoilers)

...was how all the magic of the world turned out to be not really magic, but "advanced technology". It's funny, because it's usually the opposite situation that annoys people (explaining anything fantastic with "it was magic") but in this case, especially since this was a special crossover, I think letting magic be magic would have been better than such a far-fetched end-game reveal. [Also, it's not like Maya's a magical spirit medium or anything.]

On one hand, it let the people of the town be real, which is sort of neat (especially since they could show up in the DLC chapters), but since they freely break the 4th wall in those chapters anyways, it wasn't totally necessary either.

Besides that issue, the story was pretty fun. Plus, seeing Edgeworth at the end (and in the next-to-last DLC chapter) makes me forgive the twist because Edgeworth rocks.

I do hope they localize the newest one, because I'm all for a drastic change in setting/characters/gameplay. I remember the first time I played AA4 I was a little weirded out by it because the tone and setting was so different, but after playing AA5 I went back and played it again and enjoyed it a lot more.
