Ace Attorney Investigations 2 announced, coming to TGS

by Andrew Yoon on Sep 8th 2010 1:45PM

Sure, the weather in Tokyo may be frightful right now, but there's good reason to fly over for TGS. The latest issue of Famitsu has revealed a sequel to Edgeworth-starring adventure Ace Attorney Investigations. According to a Siliconera report, Capcom's new courtroom caper will include new kinds of game systems, including one that's supposedly chess-like. (How appropriate!)

Further investigation has yet to reveal additional details, but we can deduce using logic (and enthusiasm) that Ace Attorney fans will demand an English localization. Any rebuttals?

You know what they should do? Make Franziska a playable character in the game.

@Faceless Troll
I feel the same way, I was hoping the sequel would use a different prosecutor, and Franziska was exactly who I wanted. Complete with a "whipping" button.

hmm... I'm always down for more Ace Attorney games, but the Edgeworth spinoff is by far my least favorite. I'd rather the Apollo Justice story continue; and I like the cast of characters much more the ones that surround Edgeworth.

@MLS

ohdear god no. I want them to burry appollo justice game it was by far the wrost in the series.

supper happy to see anouther AAI

"I want them to burry appollo justice game it was by far the wrost in the series."

OBJECTION!

@squallgengar

You know you have to present evidence to the contrary to yell "Objection!"

I think what you meant to say was "HOLD IT!"

@squallgengar
Overruled!

Awesome.
So can we get a new dino crisis now?

Here's hoping they get better localizers this time around.

I'd rather have another Ace Attorney game. I didn't find Investigations to be that great.

I'm all for any new Ace Attorney game, but can we move on with the main storyline/timeline? Apollo?

While I'm sad that Apollo Justice 2 isn't next on the docket, this is Capcom's chance to explain why Lang hated prosecutors so much. It was like a carrot dangled the whole game where I was hoping for some deep backstory revelation that never came. I loved Lang's character; I just wanted to know more about his reasoning. Kay better come back too. She was probably the most useful sidekick the Ace Attorney series has ever seen.

That last case in Investigations just went on and on and on and on. And then that octogenarian pulled out his grey-haired chest. And was there a nip-slip? I can't quite remember.

Anyway, 'disliked' Lang but loved that Shih-Na; loved that final case.

Ugh. Why another Investigations game? It was fun and all, but it's nothing compared to the other Ace Attorney games!

Plus, it doesn't matter how awesome of a character he may be, Edgeworth just isn't cut out to be a main character.

did you say they're making an Ace Attorney game? I'll take 3.

I think Shu Takumi has moved on to Ghost Trick, for what it's worth. I think I could feel his missing contribution in Ace Attorney Investigations.

@JoshMilewski Ghost trick was released in Japan in June, and he did work on the Investigations game.

Supposedly Shelly de Killer from Justice For All will be present in this game. Let's hope this leads to another epic final case.

@Mr Fister That would be awesome, considering that was the best case in the whole series, in my humble opinion.

Oh Edgey, just admit it, we know you love the Steel Samurai.

Bring back Phoenix!!!

Awesome. I'd like another Apollo Justice game as well but I'll certainly take this :)

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!!

While I am excited to hear about this, we NEED a new Phoenix game. I would have been happy with another Apollo game as well. Edgeworth is too much of a secondary character to carry TWO of his own games. Phoenix and Edgy work in tandem with each other. One without the other is odd. That said, a Franziska game WOULD be cool.

This is definitely preferred, imo, to another Apollo game, but I doubt the series will ever return to its former glory until either another Phoenix is released, or a brand new defense attorney is featured.

In spite of all the Apollo hate, I do feel the first AAI was sadly a misstep. While they're both my least favorite games in the series, I actually had the urge to stop playing AAI at some point. I mean, Apollo was 'meh', but I wanted to finish it anyway.

I mean, the badgers case? What the hell?!

Anyway, all I fear is that this new game fails and goes down at the last Ace Attorney game to be, at least, localized to America.

@Vaitork

I feel the opposite to what you are saying but yes the last two have been complete disappointments in the series. In Apollo's game it was just some of the characters fall into the anime trappings so badly that I just skipped some of the dialog.

OBJECTION!
Your honor, these Joystiq comments clearly indicate that the fans want more Ace Attorney games!

I'm excited for the game, and I'm a big fan of Edgeworth's, but I'd still prefer an Ace Attorney game.

Phoenix Wright is suffering the same crap as Sonic and Sora -- he's getting his spotlight stolen from other characters of the series.

Not that I don't like those characters, but putting more emphasis back on the REAL protagonist would be welcome.

Always up for Ace Attorney series! I wonder what kooky antics Larry will get into this time! Cuz you know what they say, "If something smells, it must be the Butz!" .....and "all toasters toast toast"...couldn't resist

I hope phoenix wright has at least a speaking part in this game I was always hoping he'd show up at some point in the first game

@mikegooner

He actually has the smallest of cameos in the amusement park case. If you stand on the bridge at the entrance you can see Phoenix and his plucky companions enjoying a day out on a row boat in the distance.

@Onomah

lol I saw that but what I meant was like actually speaking to him or he appears in a way like larry did in the final case.

I did really like that touch with phoenix, maya and pearls in the boat.
