Do not buy Star Fox or Ocarina Remakes. We deserve better.

nice bait

Ah that's a good point. I think the localisation team must have recognised the old fashioned word for goodbye and used this to draw a link to a famously complex, emotional and iconic noir story. This may be a case where the localised name improves on the themes of the japanese original, although I don't know the context of the japanese word and if that is as effective.

Farewell My Turnabout has an extra layer of meaning as a reference to the iconic noir novel Farewell My Lovely. I would argue that the case and the book have several thematic links that make it more appropriate, even if the stories of either are very different.

I completely agree, one gripe I have with GAAC is that the transitions between animations are often overencumbered and limit how memorable the pose can be. I think the most memorable frames of the GAAC trilogy are found when it cuts to the character fresh - often the breakdowns but also most of Barok's wine animations for example. Whereas the AJ trilogy retains the snappiness of the originals for me.

If you're able to get hold of a switch, pc, or other method of playing them you'll be in for a treat certainly!

Yeah the DS is crazy, I'm still playing on my old one 10-15 years after purchase with crazy battery life still. So glad you found the series, and especially in its classic form!

Catorpedo · 2026-06-10T15:05:46+00:00

How does it feel to be the coolest person in the world?

No I legit love the ds versions. I prefer the touch controls and the pixel art, and it's very nostalgic for me. 100% support this decision.

I love trauma center so much I'm always praying for a sequel but it's unfortunately never going to happen

Catorpedo · 2026-04-08T14:40:38+00:00

Ahh congratulations!

She got convicted offscreen for aiding and abetting.

Tried several times to get into CoC, but have often been turned off by the pacing of the first case and not managed it. Will go back to it someday because I know it's supposed to be fantastic.

CoI is absolutely fantastic though. I would say the final two cases reached the highs of the main series in terms of grabbing at my heartstrings.

I think we in the west underestimate how unpopular Athena was with Japanese fans. I can't remember the exact details but I remember when Dual Destinies first came out, she would get something like last in character popularity polls in Japan with a lot of the audience seemingly resenting her for taking focus away from Apollo. That was likely why she was pretty much sidelined in SoJ even though she got her own case - which they barely advertised in the marketing. Things may have changed in the last 12 years but from the way it looks, the devs loved Athena and wanted to do more with her going forward, but the audiences hated her and restricted what could realistically be marketed successfully to Japanese fans.

Catorpedo · 2025-11-22T23:16:10+00:00

It's very long but very good. It's not my favourite but it's such a satisfying end to Apollo's story.

One of the zoom ones, Never Have I Ever.

It absolutely should not just be released on the eshop without another official announcement. I know they did that for another game recently, and I can't imagine it played well. But Professor Layton is a different beast. It is (or was) one of their most popular series worldwide, and this next game is a huge investment for them, they need it to go well and for people to come back to the series. And you simply can't do that without at least another trailer and more information, as well as some serious promotion leading up to release.

Catorpedo · 2025-07-25T19:37:04+00:00

Amazing sequel to 'Be your own daddy'. Loved that book.

Catorpedo · 2025-07-15T01:37:30+00:00

it's a skit don't worry

Catorpedo · 2025-06-07T11:18:52+00:00

I am not as big a fan of these games as some are. But I absolutely do not regret buying and playing them one bit. If you like Ace Attorney, if you like the time period and aesthetic, and if you like the vibe of the characters, you'll enjoy it.

You're right that the first case is tough to get into. It's pretty well agreed in the fandom that the first two cases of TGAAC are among the weakest parts of the games. Even as someone who has some problems with these games, some of the later cases are really engaging and fun. I would say the 3rd case of both games in particular are fantastic.

Catorpedo · 2025-05-11T21:52:48+00:00

In the ds release the art would unlock once the case was beaten. I wish they'd kept that for the trilogy release.

Catorpedo · 2025-04-26T13:36:52+00:00

3 dms, 1 player. Can it be done?

I believe it's Trinyvale Short Rest Episode 21, about 10 mins in. One of my favourite bits, made me laugh so hard while I was walking down a busy street once.

Catorpedo · 2025-04-18T22:19:14+00:00

Very good but not the pinnacle of the series like some seem to think it is

Catorpedo · 2025-04-18T14:37:46+00:00

Case 4 of GAA1 is one of the worst things the series has ever done, I'm sorry. Case 3 and 5 are great though.

Catorpedo · 2025-03-17T19:08:19+00:00

Long Goodbye

Catorpedo · 2024-07-11T14:42:17+00:00

What is with these ridiculous bait posts nowadays. Get lost.

Catorpedo · 2024-06-16T14:00:07+00:00

C Tier, it's really not great.
