Gyakuten Kenji: new Phoenix Wright prequel starring Edgeworth
How about a morning MEGATON? The latest issue of
Famitsu contains an announcement of a new
Ace Attorney game: a spinoff called
Gyakuten Kenji (
Turnabout Prosecutor). Like the previous
AA games,
Kenji will focus on crime scene investigation (but
not courtroom theatrics). This time the action follows Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth and Detective Dick Gumshoe. Using new gameplay systems, you'll check out crime scenes for unseen evidence, and argue cases in court. Unlike
Saiban, Edgeworth will actually be visible on screen, making this more of a point-and-click adventure, versus a graphical text adventure.
It seems pretty likely that this is the
big announcement Capcom was planning to make about the series, unless they've got something even
bigger on the way. This is quite enough, however -- we're roughly 1% as excited as the Edgeworth fanfic community will be, which is to say
outrageously excited.
