And hot on the heels of Famitsu, the official GS5 site has updated with full-quality art and screenshots showing off everything that was discussed in this week's article, including the two returning characters and case 2. There's also a new commercial for the game!

Some screenshots not showing off the returning characters:

The ever-reliable hoso_boso has written up an excellent summary of this week’s Famitsu article. While there isn’t much said about Edgeworth and Trucy we can’t see from the screenshots, there’s plenty of other info:

New character: Detective Gouzou Ban (????)

A hot-blooded detective who has worked with Prosecutor Yuugami many times. He encounters Apollo and co. during their investigation. Funnily enough, his catchphrase is “justice”!



Details on case two:

Case two kicks off when Apollo and co. are invited by Trucy’s friend Yumemi Tenma (??????) attend a party to celebrate Kyuubi Village’s revitalization. Unfortunately, once they get there, a murder happens (as always) - the village mayor is found dead.



(Pictured above: Yumemi)

Yumemi is the daughter of the head of the Tenma family (??????? - sorry, not sure how to read the first name). Her father is arrested for the mayor’s murder. But Yumemi thinks the real criminal is the demon “Tenma Tarou”! (????)

Tenma Tarou is a character created to celebrate the village’s revival, and his rival is the Great Kyuubi. As part of the party, the characters were to fight it out.



(Pictured above: Yumemi’s father)

Other characters include Kumabee Zeniarai (??????), who manages the mayor’s mansion, and Hideichi Biyouin (??????), one of the Tenma family’s secretaries.

Hopefully the official GS5 site will update soon and give us a better look at all this, eh?

Well, looks like a new trailer is available (not on the Capcom channel atm, though. It was apparently recorded during a web show). It pretty much confirms the Famitsu leak new, about the two returning characters.

[spoiler=">Trucy and Edgeworth. But only Trucy appears in the trailer... No idea why.[/spoiler">

We also get a sneak peak of some new characters that haven't been introduced (yet), and we also get a very nice sample of the soundtrack.

You'll find the trailer here!

Henke37 was nice enough to take some screenshots, for those of you who can't watch the trailer. Here they are :

Wasn't sure if I should've made a new thread for this or not. Here goes anyway!

Edit by Bolt: And here's a subbed version!

While the usual source of Famitsu leaks we use hasn't been able to get a copy, 2ch is abuzz with word that this week's Famitsu has an AA5 article featuring two major returning characters.

For now, this should be taken as a rumor, but it's quite possibly accurate.

[spoiler=Returning characters">According to the buzz, Miles Edgeworth and Trucy Wright are featured in the article.[/spoiler">

We'll keep you posted on any confirmation or deconfirmation.

EDIT: Confirmed.

First, the game will be playable at E3.

Quote:
We’ll have more news for you in the days leading up to E3, where folks will get their first public hands-on with a fully localized version of the game.



As opposed to partly localized? Thanks to irishmarcoos for that tip.


Sven wrote a lot of things in the last post here:

Interesting things of note:

[list">[*">He notes that Capcom's relationship with NOA has been very positive and that the 3DS Monster Hunter game has been on the eShop home page for a while. This suggests that PWDD will likely get the same treatment. Also doesn't close out the possibility of advertising in Nintendo Direct, as MH did.[/*">
[*">In response to someone talking about Capcom's business model, Sven said "Just keep in mind we haven't shared full details yet. More details will become clear in a few weeks and hopefully the method to our madness will become more clear." Can't wait to see what this madness entails![/*">[/list">

And probably the biggest thing:

[quote="Sven"">We worked very hard to ensure a Western release on this title. If we'd said "no, it's not coming", it would have triggered the inevitable "please bring it to eshop, at least" cries. Instead we shortcutted that and brought it straight to eShop.[/quote">

Digital-only release isn't the end of the world. They knew what would happen if they didn't take this route.

Thanks to blahmoomoo for the Sven story.

Just got this in my inbox from Capcom:



[quote="Capcom"">HOLD IT! CAPCOM CONFIRMS DETAILS OF PHOENIX WRIGHT™: ACE ATTORNEY™ -DUAL DESTINIES RELEASE IN THE WEST

Courtroom Hero Phoenix Wright Returns this Autumn
London, UK. — May 13, 2013 — Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today confirmed that Phoenix Wright™: Ace Attorney™ - Dual Destinies will be available to purchase digitally on Nintendo 3DS™ across Europe and North America in Autumn 2013.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies, previously announced for the West as Ace Attorney™ 5, sees the return of courtroom hero Phoenix Wright. Set eight years since his last appearance in the courts, the first case in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies sees the action start in a destroyed court room. It’s down to Phoenix Wright and his team at the Wright Anything Agency to discover the cause of the destruction. Players will have to battle it out in court against Gaspen Payne, the younger brother of Winston Payne from previous Ace Attorney titles, as they defend the accused.

The much loved gameplay and features from previous titles in the Ace Attorney™ series return but for the first time in stunning 3D graphics, bringing the courtroom and characters to life and putting players directly in the heart of the action. Players will need to investigate each crime scene with the dynamic 3D visuals now making it possible to change views and zoom in on areas to uncover any hidden evidence or clues. In the court room the drama continues as players present their evidence, challenge witnesses and begin to unravel the truth behind each of the cases in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney -Dual Destinies.

Joining Phoenix is the young Attorney Apollo Justice and new Associate Attorney Athena Cykes. Athena’s unique ability to psychoanalyse witnesses introduces a brand new element to proceedings. Using Athena’s ‘Mood Matrix’ players can detect the emotional state of a witness and tell whether they’re surprised, angry, happy or sad. Players can compare these feelings with the statement given by the witness, point out any contradictions between the two and challenge the witness testimony.[/quote">

Looks like Kokone is named Athena Cykes, we also have the names Gaspen Payne and Juniper Woods.

Announcement trailer (with Phoenix' new "Objection!"):

Croik's Current Priorities

The last of the GS1-3 sprites are going up.  Before I move on to GS4 I'm taking a break from sprites to update the scripts.
