If you were worried that the Ace Attorney series had completely forgotten about Apollo, then fret no more. Our favorite hotshot of a defense attorney is back, with quite an interesting get-up. He’s like a cross between a pirate, a lawyer, and a Fire Emblem cosplayer. Regardless, it’s nice to see that he’s back (rocking a Phoenix Wright hairdo too) and maybe that means we’ll see Trucy Wright as well? She’s personally one of my favorite characters from the series.
Ace Attorney 5 has Phoenix Wright returning as the main character once again and introduces a new sidekick for him in Kizuki Kokone, whose name will likely change with the localization. I doubt that this means we’ve seen the last of Maya, though. The game will use 3-D models and have anime cutscenes with some voice-acting!
Here’s the TGS 2012 trailer for those of you who missed it:
Chords of Steel makes a return. I did enjoy Apollo, however, I never liked how the original trilogy ended and then how the Feys were almost completely ignored. After everything they went through with Wright, I always felt is was very peculiar and quite cold that the Feys never made an appearance.
Yeah, the original trilogy was definitely a hard act to follow. Maybe the new game will shed some light on what the Feys have been up to since then!
