My current thoughts on Ace Attorney’s Future

So by now you are most likely aware of the recent Ace Attorney news Capcom put out, and also some stuff that’s been leaked, ill give a brief rundown before going into my thoughts in case you missed it(excuse the poor grammar , I didn’t have that much time to spell check lol)

-Capcom has announced that Ace Attorney games will be moving to the switch and that they will be releasing one between April 2018-April 2019

-Leaks from Kotaku UK: First half of next year will have two Switch releases of compilations, one for AA123, other AA456. And a third brand new game feat. Phoenix Wright will release before April 2019 worldwide launch for Switch and smartphones

(ALSO take this with a grain of salt like all leaks, im just more trusting with this once since I don’t Kotaku would try and fake AA news since it is a niche series and there isn’t that much to gain from it, and the person leaking has been correct with that huge Mario Rabbids leak)

Now this news came outta nowhere but here are my brief (not really lol )thoughts on them

-Ace Attorney Games no more on 3ds

This was always in the cards, given franchises like Pokemon, moving away from it and the Switch’s mobility. It was very good of them to announce that they still plan on releasing new games for Ace Attorney and that the series isn’t over in my opinion .

I personally thought that if AA7 came out on the 3ds it would be the last one in the franchise, like no more AA afterwards(I expand on this below).

But this Switch news made me reconsider that theory, as now I believe Capcom is going to keep on pumping them out because the profits they make on it must be pretty decent in their eyes., like the cost of making them must not be as expensive as we would believe. So expect some “brand new” plotlines that will be expanded upon in AA8 etc

-Compilations

Very smart move given the next news on AA7. AA6 led to a big issue, in that, you probably wouldn’t enjoy the game as much if you never played the first 5. If they just released AA7 on the Switch straight away, they would be assuming every switch owner has played the other 6 AA games, so this would at least bring everyone up to speed.

Given some stuff I go into further below, I would be thinking, Capcom would be looking into the sales of these very closely in regards to DGS and AAi2…

-what about AJ on 3ds

Apollo Justice is still coming to the 3ds at the end of the month, and now im thinking, what is the point? The above leak is actually incredibly damaging to sales for this as most people can just wait for the compilation on the Switch to then play it.

There are ofc people who don’t have a switch (like me) and some who want to play AJ on the 3ds but I feel like this leak has made a few people reconsider their purchase of AJ (which is gunna do so much damage to Capcom’s sales forecast for that game…. :/ ).

Like you know how quiet the AA twitter is usually, they might have announced the compilations early next year after people already bought it (and maybe that might have angered a few more people to rebuy it again lol)

-Featuring Phoenix Wright

Now ill try and keep this spoiler free but the “feat. Feenie” leaves a big question, where is Apollo? Does that mean all 5 cases are playing as Phoenix? Dlc cases with Apollo? Or are they going to release an Apollo game later (because in an interview for SoJ, they were toying with the idea of SoJ being two separate full games like Pokemon Red and Blue, where one only with Phoenix, and the other only with Apollo). So maybe a game featuring just Apollo in 2019?

Now im not sure what the reaction to that is on this site, but I know a lot of people on Twitter have been rolling their eyes that the whole game is once again only Phoenix, when they feel his story is done. Me personally, I don’t really mind, as I view AA456 Phoenix as a different character to AA123, so im happy there’s at least an AA7 game coming, regardless of who you play as.

Earlier I mentioned how I thought AA7 would be the final AA game ever if it was on the 3ds, and with that I was thinking it would be the biggest fanservice game ever (like Gumshoe, Kay, Franziska coming back, and other past characters returning in the biggest best(est) sendoff ever, like maybe even a dlc case where you play as Edgeworth with Kay helping and gumshoe, Franziska all there, and like the crime scenes being old places but with new twists, and just finalising every plotpoint ever (Iris and Kay where are you??).

But since it ISNT the final game, I think it will be kind of like Dual Destinies, instead of answering questions, they will pose new ones, and introduce even more new characters to the already bloated cast which im not too happy about. Prepare for a new colourful Maya clone that has a new gameplay ability to turn the tide in court! (I still love Athena mmmmmk?), Also, wanna bet that one dialogue we want between Phoenix, Trucy and Apollo about a certain relationship wont be revealed til postgame AGAIN? :P

-Worldwide launch

This is probably the ABSOLUTE BEST NEWS to come out of all of this. No longer will we need to wait through the months, wondering if we bought enough copies to make them consider localizing. Now we can play them game at the same time as Japan! Although with this series, I never had a big issue with spoilers unlike Danganronpa, like people weren’t going out of their way to spoil SoJ like they did with V3. But its stil great news that we know that AA7 will be coming west!

-Digital

-The switch has a big digital only library, -games are not tied to your console anymore, -they are tied to your account, so if you Switch dies, -you wont lose the games purchase. SO yes I do think all 3 of the Switch games will be digital only, this is clearly the route Capcom wants for us westerners and I don’t think anything short of a miracle in sales will change that :(

-Smartphones

Now this is an issue for me personally. Hearing AA7 being on the switch made me so happy, as it opens up the endless possibilities to the gameplay.

SoJ had so many improvements to character model movements and what they did with the 3ds hardware. So thinking a Switch only AA7 game would be amazing in terms of what they could do with the models, UI, gameplay etc.

Deep down I always wished Capcom would try and be like Spike Chunsoft and add extra gameplay to their visual novel hybrids, like danganronpa. As in, its honestly absurd at how much extra content is in v3 considering they are both just murder mystery VNs, and they is clearly no reason for them to add so much extra content. Like AA has never even had post game content at all, so maybe on the switch they can try some things like danganronpa, like an AU mode, or some silly board game thing, just stuff that doesn’t harm the main story, but is nice for diehard fans to keep opening up the game.

HOWEVER since its apparently on mobile I don’t think any of that will happen. Yes Im happy people who like mobile gaming can play it, and yes not everyone can afford consoles, and yes phones are like mini computers these days in terms of power. But from Capcom’s point of view, if they want to sell it to as many people as possible, they need to consider a lot of people will still have old phones, so trying anything amazing in gameplay features might not work on an old phone, leading to loss of sales in the mobile side. And we all know how much Capcom likes money. So personally im disappointed but not that much, this is just a deep feeling ive always wanted from AA, just more in game content and extra things to do. And seeing how SoJ improved SO MUCH on the DD models, I just wanted them to go even beyond that. But hey maybe now at least they can do 3d models for investigating and pretend its an investigation game , RIP Kay’s return :’)

-localizedgs and aai2

And ofc the usual, LOCALIZE DGS AND AAI2. Considering all the news, and given how poorly Marvel vs Capcom Infinite sold(it’s actually shocking at how bad it sold, maybe because no Phoenix in it? :P ), and how long it took for RE7 to reach its sales goal(1.5years), I don’t think DGS will ever be localized, at least not for a few more years. The cost of licensing to Sir Arthur Conan Doyles Estate is clearly too much for Capcom to release an even more niche game than AA(the average person will see it doesn’t have Feenie and wont buy it).

HOWEVER given their love of compilations and ports recently, there is STILL a chance they will port a DGS1&2 game to the switch, maybe around 2020. This being after they see the sales to the first 2 compilations. So don’t buy Battlefront 2 and support bad lootbox behaviour, save that money to buy AA on the switch ;) And regarding AAi2, look im probably the biggest fan who wants a new AAI3 more than AA7 (I even made a video about it lol), but considering AA7 will be made by the AAi team, that aint happening. Now all hope would be lost, if not for the simple fact that, in 2017, just recently, AAi had an encore stage play performance in Japan . Meaning even though this play ran last year, they had enough demand to do it again this year. So Capcom clearly has some plans with Miles and crew, and hopefully if the compilations sell well, they will make a Switch port of AAi and AAi2, and hopefully Kay will live once more! :P

-Takumi

And finally to the man himself, Shu Takumi(creator of AA if you didn’t know). After spending time making DGS 1 and 2, and with how poor their sales were, I don’t think there will be a DGS3. And I don’t think he will come back for AA7 (if it was the final game like my earlier theory, I was hoping he would come back for some fanservice lol, like he would bring his charm back and work it on the new characters which might have been fun). This is disappointing as his writing with the characters is on another level compared to the new games .

E.g play SoJ and the professor Layton crossover game, back to back, and notice how different the dialogue is with Phoenix and Maya. Takumi (who wrote the Layton game) clearly understands his characters so well, and you can feel Maya and Phoenix’s personality just flow seamlessly with each other, like the professor game honestly felt like a case from the trilogy even though I played it waaaay later. He has stated he is done with the main line AA games(iirc), and how he would hate making more cases than needed (like him not wanting to make the fifth case in AA1 when Capcom first localized it, since the GBA game had only 4 cases and Capcom wanted him to make one more case to sell again). So I don’t think he will make AA7 or DGS3, which means HOPEFULLY he is free to make what he wants, and we can get another amazing separate game like Ghost Trick ANYWAY that’s been my rambleeeeeeeeeeee

TL;DR Ace Attorney isn’t dead, Capcom loves the franchise but not as much as you want, please buy the compilation ports, even if you have the games, money speaks to this company that runs our favourite game franchise :/

And final silly point: I don’t have a Nintendo Switch, Zelda BOTW, Mario Odyssey, Splatoon2, FE Warriors didn’t convince me to buy a Switch. I will now be buying a Switch for AA7, THIS SERIES WILL BE THE END OF MEEEEEEEEEEE

ACen 2017 was awesome: Non-Yugioh

ACen was jammed packed full of awesome moments! One annoying thing is I wish the room was ready sooner. After going to ACen for 12 years I think next year may be the first time I check in Thursday night. It is a lot more money but there are just so many things to do on Friday that I can’t waste time on it. Plus then I do get to see friends more Thursday night. Need to really save up money to make ACen 2018 even better.

One of the only real concerns going into ACen was my roommates. It was very possible for uncomfortable conflict to break out. But luckily it was mostly good and my roommates were pretty cool. Early on my stuff kept getting thrown around carelessly but once I pointed out how rude that was it stopped. The only time they really gave me trouble is when they got super drunk Saturday night. They just got annoying, especially since i was putting the finishing touches on the Hentai panel. Overall though I am glad I roomed with them and not a bad roommate experience.

I had little plans to go to the Dealer’s room. I wasn’t even sure I would get to go until Saturday because of how many plans I had Friday. But I forgot how early ACen’s dealer’s room opens. I am used to smaller cons where the dealer’s room doesn’t open until like 3:00pm on Friday. So I did in fact do a lot of shopping! Bought all kinds of stuff I am sure I don’t need. In another post you can see the Yugioh charms I got plus I got Manjoume. Also got Yuya for free but raffled him away. Also mentioned in another post I bought 5 keychains from MyKenBomb. I really need an ita bag because I have so many keychains and fricken nowhere to put them all! My Yugioh merchandise needs to be seen LOL Also got a new leash. I wanted to get an ACen shirt but they were sold out of the ones so I just got a new license plate cover since my last one broke. Then because of course I totally needed them I got Misaka & Kuroko plushies

Also got a big Monokuma plushie for my step-niece. I’m excited to give that to her! Finally I got a really cool gift for @roxxybawx but i don’t want to spoil that surprise so I will just tease her >^.^< Oh also because I am a FunimationNow member I got 2 free posters.

On Friday night we got yummy meat lover’s pizza with extra garlic! Remind me to get that pizza again LOL Also my friends Jaxx & Remy stopped by the room. I bought Chandra Torch Of Defiance from Jaxx for $15. Normally way more than I would spend on a single card but it was going to my friend and come on she is my flaming waifu haahaahaa

Then I met Jessica who I had only started talking to for the first time like the night before online haaahaahaa. But I knew we would become good friends after hearing such good things about her. Me, her, and her friends went to the Hentai viewing room for some MST Hentai. Great time! We actually went to the yaoi room so that was even funnier. We saw My Sexual Harassment which I guess is a very famous yaoi with a well-known meme from it. I forgot what the second one was called, something Photography. The 2 main characters looked exactly alike though despite how they pointed out an age gap many times. Lots of jokes yelled out for both!

Didn’t sleep that well, bed seemed a bit hard for me. But oh well who needs sleep when you have stuff to do! Went to the Dangan Ronpa photoshoot as my bad Nagisa Shingetsu cosplay, need to actually finish it in the future. My roommates were DR3 Junko (with the leopard coat) and Aoi Asahina. The photoshoot was hard to find and went to the wrong location twice! I should know better by now and really check the maps well. The photoshoot was great though. I let the organizer borrow my megaphone for it. We also had school desks as props. I even had a cool idea for pictures like Souda X Sonia with Komaeda shipping it. Got to promote my Dangan Ronpa panel too.

Then it was more Dealer’s room and one last review of the DR panel. We were both nervous for the DR panel. It was a new panel for us and we were both hyped to run it at first but right before it we just both didn’t really feel like doing it. We wouldn’t confident it was good enough or would fill enough time. My panel partner was mad that she had done most of the work which is a very fair thing to be mad about. But luckily the Dangan Ronpa fandom is amazing! I had no problem falling right back into the role of fandom host and leading the discussion. They were just as passionate as the Yugioh fandom if not more! Sadly we totally went to time and didn’t really get to talk about the last 2 majors things in the franchise and I know a lot of people wanted to talked about them. Still though many who attended gave us praise for it even though we had low expectations..... low hopes for the panel. I really want to interact more with the Dangan Ronpa fandom. Especially after V3 comes out. There was a whole group of V3 cosplayers and you could see how painful it was for them to hold back spoilers. They were such awesome people though!

As I mentioned in the Yugioh fandom post, @precioussorakaibashun came to the DR panel so I really appreciate the support! We hung out afterwards and caught up on life, been so long since we had last talked.

I honestly feel like I am forgetting something else that happened Saturday night. A friend lost her badge so that sucked! Later I went on an adventure with some of the friends I mentioned up above that I won’t go into the details of but lets just say I had a real fun time!

Finally we got to the 3rd panel, the famous hentai panel. Surprisingly the line was not as long as normal and we didn’t hit max capacity which is we almost always do. But we still had a whole lot of people and more importantly the quality of people was top-notch! So many awesome comments from people. We really told a lot of good jokes and had great discussion. It was very heartfelt and emotional. In a separate post I’l’ say an awesome line I came up with on the spot. Also a friend from an old job was there so I found it funny that he got to see that side of me.

I realize most people that follow me have no interest in my hentai panel which is totally fine and understandable. But let me just say this from a sociology stand-point, I have seen the community change since we first started running it. Just as the Yugioh fandom has greatly changed since I first started running that panel, people’s attitudes about sexuality and kinks have changed. Before it was like “Oh that is gay. How funny!” and now it is like “Yeah this is gay. We are all pretty gay. It is pretty cool.” People are far more accepting of all sexualities. Before some kinks were like “This is some fucked up shit! How is anyone into this?” and now it is more like “This is not my kink but I could maybe see how someone else could be into it.” Overall just a higher tolerance and acceptance of other people’s lifestyles. Some idiots would claim this makes things less funny but I totally disagree! I feel like we get to have more intelligent humor now that people are so respectful of each other. It is really amazing! I know it must be weird for me to get so sentimental over my Hentai panel but seriously it really does make the future look like a brighter place to see people so much more tolerant.

I totally forgot i went to the dance Friday night! I don’t even remember when LOL I think after the yaoi viewing. Just leaving this here instead of squeezing it up there. I spent too much money on glow stuff. Got a necklace and bunny ears that each light up. But the coolest things were these gloves with lights in the finger tips that had 5 different settings of flashy lights of different colors. They are really impressive and cool! I want more excuses to wear them!

Back to Saturday night I was all pumped up after the panel so I wanted to stay up all night and party! There was no real party to be had though LOL I went to the dance but i wasn’t as into it as I was the night before sadly. I wondered around a bit until I stopped by the Hentai room but again not as great as it was Friday night. So after failing to force the fun I just went to sleep at like 5:00am lol

Then as i said in the other post, Sunday was mostly a Yugioh day so that made my ACen Sunday better than any previous year.

Lets not forget throughout the whole con I ran into dozens and dozens of different friends. Although some people have faded I still know a LOT of people in the Chicago cosplay community and I think that is really awesome. I may not be that close with most of them but still I really enjoy seeing them around.

With ACen 2017 down I have at least 3 more cons planned for this year: Exxxotica, Soycon, and Geek Kon. But I am already hyped and making plans for ACen 2018! Over the next year I really am going to get back my motivation to work on cosplays and make many new awesome cosplays to wear! ACen really is a magical wonderful time where I get to see friends that I don’t get to see any other time. I feel so connected with 100′s of long lost brothers and sisters. The sense of family I get at ACen is so powerful. I love it! So I look forward to having more Precious Times and Glory Days with everyone!
