DS mega list shows Phoenix Wright 2, more
If you thought Reggie was skilled at assaulting posteriors and acquiring names, you'd best beware of the author of one highly comprehensive fact sheet that was pulled from Nintendo's press website. A tipster sent us the document in question and, upon reading the list of currently planned titles and their projected release dates, we experienced something that could best be described as a seizure of delight. If the epic list is to be believed, zany courtroom adventure (and DS Fanboy favorite) Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is receiving a sequel in October. The rest of the document also contains a bunch of unannounced titles (none of them from Konami) and some specific release dates, including one for Star Fox DS. Another click will take you to the complete list. Trust us, it's a good read. [Thanks, Ryan F!]
Phoenix Wright shirt: HOLD IT!
We just can't get enough of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. The game has wormed itself into our very thought patterns, with even a normal conversation between friends becoming an unbearable struggle against suddenly objecting and pointing out the many contradictions in their testimonies. Naturally, there's no way we could possibly overlook this awesome attorney apparel. Follow the link, place your order and look ridiculously stylish as you slam desks and point dramatically![Thanks Christopher!]
Capcom vaguely commits to the Revolution
Okay, now this is getting ridiculous. For some reason, developers seem to enjoy answering in ambiguous, wishy-washy and altogether non-committal ways when questioned about the Revolution. "Ah, yes, I've heard of the Revolution. It's very exciting." "Are you developing for it?" "I'd love to!" "Is that a yes?" "Well, it has this wacky new controller...I bet we could do really amazing things with it." "Is that a yes?" "I think it's wonderful that Nintendo is trying something out there, you know?" "Are you going to answer the question?" "I'd love to!" "Is that a yes?" And so it goes. Speaking to the Official Nintendo Magazine in the UK, Capcom developers did little to buck the trend and offered some insight into their vague plans. Atsushi Inaba (President of Clover Studios) said that Nintendo had not formally asked about a Viewtiful Joe title as of yet, though he would be delighted to oblige if they did. He expressed interest in utilizing the controller for Joe's actions, as well as some uncertainty as to how exactly the many VFX powers would be implemented. Minae Matsukawa (Producer of Phoenix Wright) pointed out how cool it would be to develop for the Revolution, but that he was far too busy with the French localization of Ace Attorney to commit to a next-gen entry in the franchise. Finally, Tsukasa Takenake (Designer of Mega Man Battle Network 5) had the most interesting thing to say: If fans want a first-person perspective Mega Man game on the Revolution, he'd be willing to give it a (charge) shot. Interesting! In summary, it looks like we can, with a fair degree of certainty, expect Capcom to probably make some kind of Revolution game at some point. Maybe. We're sure they'd love to.
