The Ace Attorney Series

I wonder if Investigations duology will be ported for 3DS now that they are both available for mobiles. It would be really nice to have all games on one console, though I doubt it (and DGS) would be localized...

Wait what? The second Edgeworth game is on phones?

Yeah, it was announced yesterday http://www.siliconera.com/2017/12/22/ace-attorney-investigations-2-gets-smartphone-port-japan/

The day of Turnabout Big Top has arrived.

I heard that someone on 4chan might be doing a Twitch stream tomorrow and for the next two days.

Is it a bannable offense to promote Twitch streams?

no-one cares about the circus case

Shouldn't be a problem as you're not linking to a place to emulate the game.

And I thought I was the inconsiderate one.

So what do you all think of these games' replayability? Do you think they're too linear to bother replaying and you're better off just looking at You Tube if you want to re-experience good story bits or whatnot?

I'm kinda tempted to replay the first one and just wondered if anyone does that.

I think I’m probably the latter - visual novels as a whole are pretty time consuming.

I replay them from time to time and I enjoy it, though I appreciate the option to go to any moment you want in later games. As much as I like, say, 1-4, it would be nice to be able to skip the first court day when I don't feel like dealing with Lotta.

I tend to do a semi-annual replay of the whole series. I look at it like rereading a book series.

I give them another whirl every few years. It's good stuff, and the limited animation really manages to sell the punchlines in a way that's funny for ages to come.

I'm actually in the middle of replaying Apollo Justice after many years! It's been really enjoyable going through the stories once again, even though it can never be the same as playing it for the first time as I know all the twists and most solutions. But I don't remember every single little detail and it's been fun "rediscovering" stuff :3 After this I'll probably go through the original trilogy some time later this year (fun fact: Apollo Justice was my first AA game) and maybe Dual Destinies too. Probably won't play Spirit of Justice again for a good while though even though I loved it since for these kinds of games it feels best to give it some years between playthroughs

I think before Spirit of Justice came out, I replayed the whole series.

I made a thing.

What are the highest quality games to all and sundry here and can you expatiate?

So guys, what expectations do you have for the probable seventh game for the Switch? I believe it could have full voice acting in most scenes..and Apollo's English actor (Orion Acaba) getting darrin'd.

Someone thought of this.

Imagine a courtroom:

Defendant: Matt Engarde

Defense: Kristoph Gavin

Prosecutor: Manfred Von Karma

Witness: Dahlia Hawthorne

Detective: Bobby Fulbright

Judge: Ga'ran Khura'in

That'll be one hell of a case

I'm now imagining the proceeding's turning into a murder fest. Who will survive? Not Dahlia.

So who's going to be the villain in Athena Cykes: Ace Attorney? The bailiff?

Somebody else maybe.

Also, did anyone else heard about Orion Acaba? I think he should be replaced after what happened.

Ga'ran's not really a judge, though

Well, not anymore.

There was the portion of the case where she told the judge to shut up and let her do his duties. And the bit where the camera showed the prosecution's bench in the same angle as the judge as she proclaimed a guilty verdict.

This is true, but we do also have a proper judge villain in the form of Hart Vortex, even if he is long dead by the time of the series proper.
