Capcom still has some information to share on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice. In today’s update, the company touches on the “Revisualization” system, returning from Dual Destinies.

Here’s the breakdown:

– When the courtroom battle reaches its final stage and it seems you need another step to fully grasp hold of the truth, a “Revisualization” is triggered to reach a decisive conclusion
– You’re allowed to review the facts revealed in the court up until that point
– Seek out a route that leads to the truth while organizing events
– Select the correct route using logical reasoning
– It’s possible to review again any number of times to reach the truth if you make an error

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice launches on June 9 in Japan and this September in the west.

Intrepid adventurer Mike Jones, just back from the South Pacific, is off on a new journey through time and space. Mike’s mission is to save seven mystic Tetrads, while facing the avengers of his foiled foe, the evil Zoda. Decipher codes, solve mysteries, and battle dragons with heroes of days gone by. Mike won’t stop until the Zoda’s are history!
