After just getting over the excitement of learning about Phoenix Wright's transition to the Wii, we get word that the series is also being ported to the iPhone. And as you can see, the dual screen returns from the DS version, and the 'interface' gets a little graphical update.

The current issue of Famitsu has a special feature article on the parents of game characters. Included are some GK sketchs and the interview. While there's no news of next title in the Gyakuten series, we learned that Iwamoto had a test for employment in either Capcom or KOEI. Considering this is an article about Capcom's Gyakuten Saiban, it makes sense that he was hired by Capcom. We also learn that he drew the picture of Daryan Crescend in GS4, this was not written in GS4 guide book.

Guys, I found some seconds of footage, including the art and music style we all know and love, and a couple of puzzles.

It's by the end of that video. Yeah, you have to watch throught the entire video for it, but it's worth it.

By the way, I just noticed this video was uploaded just today. What a coincidence, it was uploaded the only day I decided to search "Last Window" on YouTube...

EDIT: Oh, this was posted in WHAT A!? too, just noticed it. Well, it's here now too.

Do you like free stuff? Sure you do! So head over toe the Capcom Unity boards, where they're celebrating the upcoming release of AAI with a "caption this screenshot" contest. The winners will receive an autographed AAI poster straight from Japan (I believe autographed by Mr. Eshiro). Show them what you've got CR!

The forums, and the frontpage news are going down shortly due to the server that they're on is being transferred. We won't be loosing anything, but everything powered by the forums will be in accessible for a period of time.

I am sorry about the short notice. I was only informed myself just now that the forum host would be moving. We 'should' be back up and running by this time tomorrow, but don't quote me on anything. Could be earlier could be later.

The transfer is due to begin at roughly 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

The games are going to begin being released in January, for the USA each game will be $10, apparently about $2 cheaper then Japan, with GS1-5 coming out in May. The highlights from the press release is that you can present evidence with a wave of the wiimote or press by wiggling it (Read: Players can do the OBJECTION POINT).

The curious thing about the press release is that it says, "These games can be played via single-player and has multiple save slots." Multiple saves is swell. But I was never aware that AceAttorney was ever even remotely multiplayer.

The press release says nothing about remastering the graphics or audio, which I 'personally' think would be a big marketing point if they were going to do it.

Update:

Joystiq has gotten ahold of screenshots. The game is using sprites and other material from the DS version in the Wii Port. This isn't a port from the PC version, which was a 'direct' port of the GBA version. It looks like Capcom is putting some effort into this port.

And on the Hotel Dusk front a brochure has surfaced. Introducing Margaret of LA's 1980's Apartment Complex, and Kyle Hyde, not in his Sleuth/Salesman garb.

According to Game informer, CiNG is getting ready to promote a sequel to Court-Records.net cult favorite Hotel Dusk: Room 215. The new title is called Last Window: Mayonaka no Yakusoku (Last Window: Midnight Promise) and takes place in 1980's Los Angeles. The title is rumored for a Q1 release in Japan on January 14th.

If you've missed Court-Records excitement in the past over Hotel Dusk, I invite you to take a look at the WHAT A!? section of CR. You'll find a lot of good fun stuff there.

If you're looking to play more CiNG games, you may want to try Hotel Dusk or Trace Memory (Another Code: Two Memories to our European friends) on the DS. And our European friends were lucky enough to get Another Code: R - Gateway of Memories for the Wii. The gameplay is 'very' inspired by Hotel Dusk in the latter title.
