Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice devs give detailed insight into various characters
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Last month, we shared some excerpts from a Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice developer interview included in a recent issue of Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream. If you missed it, head on over here for tidbits about Maya’s return, scrapped ideas, and more.
What we translated didn’t actually cover Nintendo Dream’s entire discussion. There were also several pages dedicated entirely to talk about the different characters in the game, ranging from big ones like Phoenix and Apollo up through new additions such as Ahlbi. We now have an extremely lengthy summary based on the interview with Motohide Eshiro (producer), Takeshi Yamazaki (director), and Takuro Fuse (co-director).
If you decide to proceed, be aware that there are some light spoilers. The summary covers characters included in multiple cases.
