Capcom have announced an Ace Attorney panel for this year's Tokyo Game Show. The panel will be held on the 22nd of September from 16.00 JST (3.00 EDT, 00.00 PDT, and 8.00 BST) will last for approximately 40 minutes. Ace Attorney series producer Motohide Eshiro and game designer Shinsuke Kodama will be in attendance.

The panel has been described as 'unmissable for Ace Attorney fans' so hopefully there'll be some interesting news to come out of it

I think Nintendo had some announcements (Like the collections) in the Direct.
Capcom will probably announce AA7 at TGS.

It's probably a new game (and possibly ports to the Switch). They'll also like run some anime promotional stuff there as well. Which also makes sense, given the anime starts next month.

I'd like a collection of the previous games, a localization for the second Edgeworth game (i'll die on this hill) and a new game. Just as Ace Attorney deserves.

Give me that soft reboot, no half measures like AA4 this time.
Placate the ones who wish to halt progress with another compilation.

No doubt they'll do a lot of talking on the anime (debut the new theme song and opening?) but hyped beyond belief for a new game!

This is going to be really interesting. I don't think they can keep treading water with the formula if they're gonna be a $60 game now.
Come on Multi-Plat announcement so the series can be at max potential in the West.
And yeah, would make sense now that touch controls aren't what it's built around.

That said, inb4 it's a 3DS game that changes nothing.
Multi plat? For PS4 and PC?
Everything, since they no longer have to build an appreciably different game for the hardware.

It's very likely that the next project in the Ace Attorney franchise will be announced there.

I am on pins and needles for what to expect. One of my favorite series that really needs to be handled a lot better.

"We are retconning Apollo out of existence".

Come on. Do it.
I'd rather they retcon every game after Apollo Justice, which was easily one of the best games in the series and a rather sober deconstruction of the series as a commentary on the Japanese legal system and the naivety that "conclusive evidence" will always appear when you need it because you're on the side of truth and justice. Japan didn't reintroduce a form of trial by jury until two years after the game was released. It was an extremely relevant game from a political perspective that had something meaningful to say.

Also, Punished "I can still feel it itching, like a phantom limb" Wright was the best. It's a pity the recent games have largely rolled back his character development or at least kinda sidestepped it.

Cautiously optimistic...

Switch release, pretty please...

I mean, the AA Collection (AA 1, 2 and 3 IIRC) was confirmed for Switch a while ago. No need to be optimistic about that :). You'd be forgiven for not knowing though, as the announcement was fairly stealthy, and there hasn't been any update since.

The main question is: is the Switch getting anything on top of AA 1, 2 and 3? It's a given that the series's home will be the Switch, but it's anybody's guess what's next.

I liked Spirit of Justice but they need to do something different with the gameplay at this point.

No Ace Attorney Collection has ever been announced for Switch.

There you go, the two collections (1-3 and 4-6) Kotaku reported earlier this year, and the new episode for Switch and mobile.
Can't wait.
Kotaku said both collections would release this year, and 7 would release in 2019.

I can't wait to see what new Japanese festivals and traditions there are to celebrate in the United States of America.

I can see this jumping to PC next to IOS and Switch. But a PS4 bound Ace Attorney seems out of the question honestly. I just don't see that audience being very receptive to AA.

I'd imagine that the Direct (whenever it eventually goes live) will reveal the collections, while Capcom will reveal AA7 themselves.

Kotaku said "late 2018 simultaneous global release on Switch and mobile" for AA7. To be honest, it always sounded unrealistic.

AA6 was the shot in the arm this franchise needed after AA5 and PLvsAA were varying degrees of monumental letdowns. Now that they don't have a preceding storyline to weigh them down, I hope AA7 can wipe the slate clean and go in deep.

I pray for AA7 with Shu Takumi in the writer and director's seat. He's done with Dai Gyakuten Saiban for now, I'd assume?

The two Miles Edgeworth games are quite different to the main Phoenix Wright titles. It's not like Capcom don't know how to mix it up -- it's just that they've treated the mainline series fairly conservatively. One could argue that there are a lot of fans who don't want the main series to change all that much.
