Update (8/19): BlockForm is 329 blocks. That amounts to 41.125MB.
Original (8/18): We originally heard about the platformer BlockForm last June. In Europe, it’s now scheduled for release on August 25. The game will cost €4.99.
It’s worth mentioning that BlockForm will only be playable on New 3DS. We also are unsure if the Wii U version is still happening.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice character profiles: Maya and Ahlbi
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Capcom has shared another two character profiles for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice. Today, we’re able to learn a bit more about Maya Fey and Ahlbi Ur’gaid.
Find the full rundown on both characters below. For those that missed it, Phoenix and Rayfa’s profiles are here.
In the second of our series covering just some of the many characters in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice, we take a break from our protagonist and newly introduced royal priestess Rayfa to focus on the return of Phoenix’s long-time friend, Spirit Medium (in training), and Ace Assistant, Maya Fey! We’ll also be discussing the capable (if not overzealous) new character Ahlbi Ur’gaid, a young monk who also works as a tour guide. Turns out these two have a bit more in common than one might think.
Maya made her first appearance in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney as part of a twisting and gloomy case that implicated Maya as a murder suspect. Despite Maya being initially accused of the crime – an accusation that Phoenix quickly clears after taking on Maya’s case himself – Maya soon joins forces with Phoenix to find the true murderer and bring them to justice. Following the sad circumstances that resulted in Phoenix and Maya inheriting the Fey & Co. Law Offices, Maya soon decided that she wanted to take on the role of Phoenix’s assistant. This new friendship born out of tragedy resulted in not only the offices being rebranded as the Wright & Co. Law Offices, but also helped lift Maya’s mood, soon bringing her back to her naturally cheery self. Maya’s unique ability to channel the spirits of the dead (which causes her physical appearance to change as a result), alongside her natural intuition and optimistic outlook, helped Phoenix through many of his early cases – though her channeling sometimes caused her more problems than it solved!
