After a long stretch of hearing nothing about Gyakuten Kenji, Capcom has issued a Japanese release window for the Miles Edgeworth-flavored Ace Attorney spin-off: a vague "Spring 2009." Unless an English language option is included in the game (it's happened before in this series), that's fairly useless to those who don't speak Japanese, but there's still time to amend that.To coincide with this announcement, Capcom passed a bunch of new screens around, mainly depicting scenes from the opening case and new prosecutor Makoto Yuuki (which translates as "truth courage"). Anyone else find Edgeworth's bobble-headed physique a bit weird, by the way? No? Okay, probably just us.

Any in-court parts? I -hated- investigating, but the guilty verdict always made it worth it to me.

I have to agree with you. Well, I didn't HATE the investigating, but it was nowhere near as interesting as the cases, and sometimes it was downright annoying trying to figure out where to go next. What disturbs me is that it looks like the whole game might be investigation only, which would SUCK, because the cases are the best part.

I bet this gets a more timely English-language release than the other games in the series, now that we're finally all caught up.

So if Yuuki is a fellow prosecutor, I suppose that means that the chick in the trailer is probably a defense attorney and an antagonist?
Anyway, even if this is isn't a traditional game in the series, I hope that the fact that Edgeworth is getting a game despite the franchise having "moved on" is a sign of better things to come in Gyakuten V.

Geh, that's a shame. At least this might mean not all the cases will be murder-related, which would be a change of pace.

yuppie! I love edgeworth. I'm still excited, even if the game is more focused on the detective aspect then the attorney aspect.

Haha, in the full-body shots Edgey looks like a nine year old boy. WHICH, by the way, would be fitting. I think we would all enjoy a Phoenix Wright prequel starring elementary school versions of Miles, Phoenix and their third stooge Larry.
