Ace Attorney 5 voice acting limited to 'those iconic key phrases'
The information from a Japanese interview, stating that Ace Attorney 5 would use full voice acting, was a mistranslation, or the message got garbled along the way somehow. Capcom community manager Brett Elston corrected the information in a tweet this week, shouting "Hold it!" before opening the Twitter post window (we imagine)."Not the case," Elston. "Just those iconic key phrases!" The original interview, then, suggests that those clips will be re-recorded for the 3DS's improved audio capabilities.[Thanks, Robert!]
Report: Ace Attorney 5 features full voiceover
According to a Nintendo Dream interview summarized by Siliconera, Ace Attorney 5 will use full voice acting in-game – not just the "Objection!" and "Take that!" we've grown used to. The team decided upon the change to make better use of the 3DS's surround sound capabilities, rather than simply porting over the DS/GBA sound effects.While we're excited about more dynamic dialogue presentation, this news also worries us a bit. All that voiced dialogue is going to make localization even more expensive, and we don't want there to be any barriers keeping Capcom from giving us more Ace Attorney. The company has announced plans to localize it, but we're just ... worried. Always.Update: Based on presentations in livestreams, Court-Records user Wooster speculates that the voice acting will be used mostly in cutscenes, rather than throughout. Wooster also brings up the point that the existing voice clips will all have to be replaced, as the actors were non-professional (creator Shu Takumi in Japanese as Phoenix, and ex-Capcom producer Ben Judd in English). Thanks for pointing us to this post, Robert!
Ace Attorney 5 trailer reveals emotion reading system, inspires emotions
The only thing that could make this TGS trailer for Ace Attorney 5 – which features the new 3D models in motion for the first time – any more interesting is if you could understand the dialogue. And now, thanks to YouTube user and subtitler Bolt2nd, now you can totally understand what's happening.And what's happening is a new system that lets you watch for contradictory emotional responses during testimony. To help with this, new partner Kokone appears to have some kind of empathic ability. It's not an Ace Attorney courtroom without psychic powers!
Ace Attorney 5 coming to US and Europe
We may be missing out on Ace Attorney Investigations 2, but new testimony from Capcom reveals that "Capcom is planning to release Gyakuten Saiban 5 (Ace Attorney 5) in the West," meaning both the US and Europe. A Capcom representative revealed that welcome news to Kotaku, adding "We'll have more news soon."Capcom opened the official site for the 3DS game today, allowing us a clear look at the new 3D models. Not bad! We suppose Capcom can retire the old Phoenix sprites after using them in three separate games. Besides, he got a nice new vest with his new render!
Ace Attorney 5 will be a 3DS jam
The latest issue of Japanese gaming mag Famitsu confirms Ace Attorney 5 as coming to 3DS, according to Andriasang.

There's still no word on when the game will come out in Japan (though it will be playable at Tokyo Game Show), or if it'll ever be localized for western countries.The most recent game in the series, Ace Attorney Investigations 2, was not translated by Capcom.
