Considering the entire localization and dubbing team is from the UK outside of Janet herself and the most she did was tone down a few of the stronger cultural things to make it more internationally accessible I think they did just fine especially when the character is clearly meant to evoke Dickensian literature.

which is ironic considering it’s based on Doyle literature

Just finished GAA1, and I really enjoyed it! It's so great to be playing a new Ace Attorney game again (well, new for me)
I have a lot of other thoughts swirling around in my head about GAA1, and I want to start GAA2 right away. But, it's already past midnight where I am, so I need to sleep lol

You know. Next Time Capcom ports the Phoenix Wright trilogy to something, they really oughta edit That one line where Phoenix thinks "Sherlock Holmes the second, right here baby!"

You know considering we know now That Sherlock, or rather Herlock Is a real historical figure in this universe. So i feel the like should be changed to reflect the name change lol

I would prefeer If they didn't do that. It would play in the hands of the Doyle estate.

of protecting their copyright?
They don't really have any copyright. It's expired apart from the last few books. They tend to sue if Sherlock has any character development as "He became more compassionate over the last couple books". It's utter nonsense, but they're so rich that most companies will just settle rather than try and take them on in court.
Capcom would probably win, but I doubt the sales of GAA would cover the legal costs so they changed his name to avoid being sued. It's why a lot of other characters names have avoided being changed, it's only really Sherlock and Watson that the Estate tends to sue over.

actually how many regions is this true for?

Now I'm starting the second half.

I'm confused as to why Reí Is on the boxart. From what i remember of this game she doesn't show up again after the First case, right?

Objection 2017 is one of the best Objection themes and yet...
It's only played in on case in the whole saga.[/SPOILER]

If we get Ace Attorney content in smash i want the crédits música from GAA1 in there as one of the songs.

It's a nice Little rendición of Objeción 2015.

I'd say with the upcoming NMH3 event GAA is not getting a spirit event at this rate, right?
You never know, some events have happened way down the line. It's also worth noting that NMH is a major exclusive, whereas TGAA was on PC and PS4 even if pretty much everyone I know is playing it on Switch. I'm hoping we get some AA representation by the end of Ultimate's cycle.

I dont see why the great ace attorney would get priority over the Phoenix Wright trilogy.
The only way i see that happening is if Sakurai sees Karuma and thinks "Hey, we could use one more anime swordfighter!"

I mean, No More Heroes 3 specifically is getting an event, with Travis, Travis's suit, and Fu, and no other classic NMH characters like Shinobu or Henry or Sylvia. If we would get a TGAA event it'd be for promotional purposes, that's the point.

Its kinda funny how the games keep telling you how Zieks is the greatest prosecutor in the London, considering weve beat him so many times at that point.

The other prosecutors are probably like Flynch.

they’ve be doing that since the first game. It’s one of the most over used parts of the rival trope

at least they spiced him up with the whole curse thing

Its funnier here since it feels like you see him more than most other rivals.

Hello! I apparently haven't posted in this thread before, somehow? Maybe I had too much brand loyalty to Layton when I first joined SmashBoards, idk...

Anyway, AA is a great franchise that I have some love for every entry in! I have been playing TGAA and have thoughts.

I have no idea if the investigations are More fun than usual or if I'm just More patient now That I'm older.
