Sorry if this is a duplicate topic. But basically, Capcom isn't bringing over AAI 2 for whatever reason. Plus I believe the English language option is no longer included in the Phoenix Wright games. I'm really surprised, given how much of a cult hit the Ace Attorney series has been, but oh well.

Time to wait for an unofficial English Translation (but I wonder if they'll throw in wacky pop culture references like how Capcom's localizations of the AA games does it), then.

Too bad.  I love the AA games (though I've not played Apollo Justice).

I fu**ing love Phoenix Wright. I thought, come on, how great could this game be? But then I started playing and got instantly hooked.
As unrealistic as the game is, it's all about the colorful characters who make the game. It's like an interactive anime.

Just at the middle of the game, at the point where I thought "How could this get any funnier?", they throw in this kid, Sal Manella, and I fall off my chair.
"What do joo want, n00b? What, don't joo know Sal Manella, joo l4m3rz! LMAO!" and then he looks at Maya and says: "W00t! Hot, hot! So you like t3h cosplay?"

Every game has that, and I think that's what makes it even more charming & fun.

I've seen references to "A Few Good Men", Dead Or Alive (the Band)'s "You Spin Me Round (Like a record)", and "Lethal Weapon".  And it's just awesome the way they're thrown in at just the right moment.

To be fair, AAI1 was one of the weakest AA games, along with Apollo Justice... it still sucks to miss this, but id rather have Shu Tukami work on a Ghost Trick sequel. I really hope the game sells well enough to warrant that, as i like it even more than the AA series

You guys should totally check it out.

I didn't play Apollo Justice, so I guess that lends to your theory.
I didn't see Phoenix Wright in the title and was immediately turned off to it, haha (even if he's in there as an interaction character).

It sucks, but there might still be a chance for it to hit Europe. I know the Hotel Dusk sequel did, so this one might, too.

But there's still hope for an American release. I don't remember where I found it, but they were asked and replied that they just don't have plans for releasing it for now, so they might release it later, who knows.

What's so bad about AAI?

I never got all the flak for Apollo Justice either. It doesn't hold up to most other games (except JFA, that one's terrible), sure, but it's still a solid entry with nice cases and amazing characters (like almost always). Kristoph is, especially, great.

Until I read your post, I had no idea there was a Hotel Dusk sequel. Now I feel depressed and a little betrayed.

Check it out. You could probably easily import it from Europe.

It's obviously to attempt to stop instructing the public on how to sue, I mean, look at america! every 5 seconds a new lawsuit comes out, and 99999999999999999 out of whatever number that is plus one is probably frivolous, or the patent related should not have been granted.
