Shu Takumi is probably lying low right now, considering how the hackers got access to and leaked personal Capcom employee data.

I think AA7 could actually end up delayed in favour of a 4-5-6 trilogy. Logically, Capcom should provide easy access to them on Switch/PS4 instead of immediately releasing a sequel to a game on the 3DS, a now discontinued console. This would help out people introduced to the Ace Attorney via the trilogy and the DGS ports, too.

If they're really doing AA7 I'd say that regardless of how DGS 1+2 performs, them porting 4-6 is very likely. Assuming that Ace Attorney 7 will keep around most of the characters from past games (Phoenix, Athena, Apollo, etc), I'd be surprised if they decide to not bring 4-6 to modern consoles.

Unless 7 is for some reason with a completely different cast or a very independent game from the rest of the series, I can't see them skipping 4-6.

It makes no sense from a business perspective to not try to recoup costs on the second trilogy's worth of games. The original trilogy's been ported at least 3 or 4 times by this point, so not doing so for the second trilogy would be detrimental

Yeah, I agree. The second trilogy would sell less, that's for sure, partly because the first 3 games are the most known ones and all, but still, I don't think they would lose money if they decided to port 4-6.

I don't think AA4 would suppose a problem. AA5 and 6 maybe because both are in 3D? I don't know.

AA4 would be really easy to port because the HD assets are already done with the mobile port.
AA5 and AA6 needs a model re-scaling, or maybe not... they have shown HD 3D models of those games before in promotional material, I suppose those were the original 3D models and then were downgraded to 3DS's SD resolution.

I think it's just a matter of time before Capcom decides to port those games to modern systems. I think DGS got priority because Takumi is still in Capcom and he called the shots.

The Professor Layton crossover is a weird one, it got characters from Level 5 and they were closing off their Western operations.

The Western side of Pop Star.
Depends on which series they want to hyperfocus when it comes to rereleasing...at the time. For all of Capcom's bad habits, the one that's expected to recur quite a bit is rereleasing anything of theirs that sells decently enough to be seen as a cash cow. Though I still don't expect AAI regardless.

At least DGS is getting exposure from this incident: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2...the_evidence_capcom_didnt_present_to_the_west

Random question, but the most likely option for a grab/command grab for Phoenix in Smash would probably be using Psyche-Locks. How would he initiate it, though?

Is he going to yell Take That, like how he usually does?
Or is he going to yell Hold It, which makes a lot more sense contextually?
Maybe he could also just stick the Magatama out without saying anything like every other grab and like in Apollo Justice?

I think having him yell would cause confusion with other moves (Take That! and Hold It! would probably be attacks on their own, separate from the grab). Plus it'd be kinda weird to have him yelling at people just for a grab. Just the Psyche-Lock sound effects would be enough.

Reading the answers to that tweet, I didn't know Klavier was that popular. For some reason I thought he wasn't really popular among fans.

Klavier is popular because he's a genuinely nice rockstar lawyer who the body of a Greek god.

He literally does air guitar in court.

How is that bland?

I agree. I like him quite a lot to be honest. I was just relatively surprised by seeing so many people asking Capcom about him in that tweet.

I guess that for some reason I was never aware of how popular he is among the fanbase.

I used to think Klavier was pretty boring, and I get it, instead of redoing another character's arc he starts at the end of someone else's - prioritizing the truth and being a friendly cooperative rival, so he doesn't really undergo a lot of change it seems, he's sort of reacting to other characters' changes, but eh! He sorta faces some music at the end of 4 after running from it, it's neat enough! And the way he shows up in 5 and one of the non-canon DLC in 6 feels really... I dunno, like yeah, he doesn't have what it takes to be the big return in some final case or anything. But I dunno!!! Nah, he's cool! He's not at the top of my list, but nah, he's plenty cool and fun, if we wanna talk boring then it's gatta go to Nahyuta - I like his design and music and everything but damn he makes me snooze!

About the infamous Capcom leaks, it isn't related to actual AA games but it looks like Phoenix Wright is gonna be the next character
for Teppen, which for anyone who doesn't know, is a mobile Capcom game featuring their IPs. I have barely tried it but one cool thing about the game is that all the new art that comes from the game is very cool


And yeah I know I have clickbaited all of you with that wording, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself

You think we will have anything Ace Attorney related at the VGAs?
