There are new comics in the comics shops every Wednesday, but some of those comics are not worth your money. As always, I have recommendations about which comics—physical ones and digital ones—you should consider buying. You're welcome! More »

One of Japan's most famous directors, Takashi Miike recently revealed that he's working on a film version of a popular DS game. The game is believed to be a film version of Ace Attorney (these might be the first set pics). Miike isn't a stranger to video games or video game movies. He's made a couple before. More »

Japanese film director Takashi Miike, well-known for the over-the-top violence depicted in movies like Ichi the Killer, also has a softer side, which should shine through in his next project, a light comedy courtroom drama based on a Nintendo DS game. Are we getting a live-action Ace Attorney movie? More »

Not that the Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle are ever wrong when it comes to leaking game news early, but still, it's nice to get confirmation (via the latest issue of Famitsu) that Phoenix Wright is on its way to the Wii. More »

Phoenix Wright is coming back to the PC. And not just coming, but coming in many, many pieces, as it's been announced that the first three GBA titles (which have already seen limited releases on PC in Japan) of the series are to be broken up into a steady stream of episodic titles. The first one lands next week, and will be free (as will the first chapters of the second and third GBA titles), with all remaining chapters costing ¥120 (around USD$1). That's for each chapter: to buy every chapter of a whole Ace Attorney game will cost you about ¥1920 (USD$19). No idea whether, like the DS versions, these will have an English-language track, but I guess we'll find out on March 18 when the first episode's due. More »

For all you Europeans who "objected" to not having Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, fear not. May 9 is the magic day that justice will be delivered and you, too, can have the sequel to the popular Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. You'll be able to judge for yourself whether this game will live up to its predecessor, or if this game is the death sentence of the series (okay, that's not fair, it's meant to be a great game, but there aren't any really good puns for "this game is excellent, you should all go and try it").

What could be better than Capcom bringing back Bionic Commando? How about Street Fighter IV? Games Radar is reporting from the Capcom Gamer's Day in London that the 4th game in the series has been officially confirmed. A stylized trailer of Ken and Ryu fighting was shown, but no actual gameplay footage, and while development has started the game is still more than a year away for whatever platform it ends up coming out on, Still, we can all rest easy that it is indeed on the way.

With Phoenix Wright largely out of the picture in the fourth Gyakuten Saiban (Ace Attorney in the West) legal adventure, Nintendo DS gamers are going to have to welcome a new protagonist to the series. Already a smash hit in Japan, Gyakuten Saiban 4 features Housuke Odoroki as the lead attorney, with Wright limited to a cameo role, meaning Capcom USA has a marketing challenge on its hands. More »

Big hit in Japan DS title Gyakuten Saiban 4 (AKA "Ace Attorney 4") moved 250,000 copies during its first week on sale. This fall, Gyakuten Saiban 3 will be retitled as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations for North America, and the previous Phoenix Wright game was so popular that it sold out — Like you couldn't get a new copy for a while. So, you think Capcom would make another Ace Attorney? Do you really? According to Bloomberg, the third party developer recently announced Gyakuten Saiban 5. How risky! I bet one day they'll do a Gyakuten Saiban 6, a Gyakuten Saiban 7 and maybe even a Gyakuten Saiban 8. Brian Ashcraft More »

Next week in Japan, Capcom is broadcasting a short 5-10 television mystery. Not sure if it's life action, animated or just in-game footage. Viewers will try to solve the mystery, and the answer will appear on Capcom's site. Neat way to promote Gyakuten Saiban 4! Brian Ashcraft More »

Gyakuten Saiban 4 is Capcom's most successful entry in Ace Attorney series to date. Since going on sale April 12th in Japan, a half a million copies have been shipped. When Gyakuten Saiban was previously localized into English with Phoenix Wright, the game was so popular and hard to get because Capcom didn't print enough copies. Even in an age when success is judged in Pokémon standards, Gyakuten Saiban 4 is a hit with no objections here. Brian Ashcraft More »

Weekly manga Young Magazine knows what its young, male readers like: They like girls. Girls in skimpy outfits. So, if Young Magazine is going to do a piece on Gyakuten Saiban 4 ("Ace Attorney" series in the West), it needs something to hold its readers' interest. Yup, it needs girls in skimpy outfits. Otherwise, the readers will just flip by, looking for cheesecake photos. So! Hit the jump for the pages in full, all relatively safe for work. Brian Ashcraft More »
