May 2011
I’m pretty much new in the Gyakuten Saiban/Ace Attorney fandom (just brought the game back in March, started playing it since April, but wanted to play it since… a loooooong while ago). But this took me off guard :O A lot.
Especially if some recording shots were starting to appear (most involving case 1-4) since beginning May (wait, we ARE in the 27th?!) and just TODAY I was finishing THAT case! Dear lord, this is awesome exciting. I… want to see it…
After feeling a bit dissapointing that it’s almost uncertain what would be about Ace Attorney Investigations 2 in the West… or that Capcom USA is leaving in Level-5’s hands release or not Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney for the 3DS here in America… or even if I can’t get physical copies of Justice For All or Trials & Tribulations for DS (was considering getting them for WiiWare… but…. it is not the same) so easily. This (and finding out that the official English translation of the manga adaptation by Kodansha USA is going to start publishing since this next month) is pretty much exciting me.
(This clearly summerizes the official announcement of the movie filming:

Pretty much so far, the release in Japan will be until Spring of next year… the actors look awesome (though Hiroki Narimiya -Ryuuichi Naruhodo/Phoenix Wright-, Mirei Kiritani -Mayoi Ayasato/Maya Fey- and Takumi Saito -Reiji Mitsurugi/Miles Edgeworth-are the only ones revealed…), and the locations look excellent…
So… Spring 2012? Where are you?
