Capcom updated the Japanese Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies website once again with screenshots and details. The page’s latest content is posted below.
– Athena’s Mood Matrix can assist you in reading emotions
– Not all emotions are stable and easy to read
– Apollo will be using his deduction skills in solving a crime that hits the youkai enthusiast village he was dragged to by Trucy
– Mood Matrix comes from Athena Cykes’ necklace
– This lets you examine witnesses’ emotions to help solve cases
– In one case, it can be used to help solve the case surrounding the death of a youkai enthusiast village’s mayor
– When overwhelmed by emotions such as fear, people’s memories and emotions get mixed up so it won’t be as easy to find the truth
– When Trucy’s friend Yumemi Tenma is called upon to testify on the case of the mayor’s death, the Mood Matrix picks up a bunch of youkai spirits, which are clogging up her memories
– This is due to the girl’s fear of ghosts and spiritual phenomenon
– Using the Mood Matrix, need to find which youkai seems to be bringing out the most fear in Yumemi
– In this case, it seems to be a cat monster riding on what looks like a flaming wheel
– The flaming wheel was actually a chandelier that was an important key to solving the case
– By getting a closer look at the witnesses’ emotions using the Mood Matrix, you’ll be able to work your way to finding the truth, one step at a time
– Apollo has the “Thought Route” ability
– This is similar to the Logic feature in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth
– Players will use the Thought Route towards the end when Apollo is just a step away from finishing the trial, but can’t seem to put the nail in the coffin
– By looking back at facts, Apollo will be able to deduce a series of paths accordingly
– The game will present several choices from facts that were revealed to related key items
– As you make your choice, you’ll advance to the next branch of deduction until everything becomes clear
– Multiple routes for the Thought Route that must be deduced to find the one truth
– Can keep trying until you figure it out even if you make mistakes
– Useful when a case is just about to wrap up
– Third chapter takes place in the middle of a school festival
n-Space, known for games such as Geist and Heroes of Ruin, seems to be involved with Wii U.
At the moment, n-Space doesn’t have any announced projects in development for the platform. But lead engineer Justin Hare lists on his LinkedIn profile: “Ported large parts of nSpace engine tech to Wii-U”.
n-Space worked on quite a few Wii games, so it wouldn’t be too surprising so see them make the jump to Wii U. It’d be pretty neat if the studio revived Winter for the system!

We typically don’t post this kind of content on NE, but it’s so bizarre that I’d be doing a disservice if I didn’t share this with you all:
When Shin Megami Tensei IV launches in North America, players will be able to access a number of DLC items. Atlus shared details on some of the content coming to the game the next month, such as:
- Three custom looks will be available for the protagonist to alter his look by changing hairstyles. These DLC items will be permanently free for anyone to download.
- In addition to fighting in style, there will be a beneficial armor item free for the first month. The Platinum Surcoat Set offers a little bonus to stats in the early stages of the game, and will help players new to the franchise keep the upper hand. The armor will be available for free for the first month after SMT IV’s launch on July 16. After the first month, the price of the armor set will revert to $1 permanently.
- There will also be a map pack available at launch to help players gain more experience. Suitable for the early stages of the game, the new maps will help players gain extra experience to boost their characters with enemies and a collectible demon exclusive to the DLC. The map pack will be $2 at launch.
Atlus will announce additional DLC items closer to launch.

Multiple ‘Shaq Fu’-related trademarks discovered
You heard that right: The greatest fighting-game franchise ever to grace consoles just might be returning, despite being dead for nearly 20 years. Siliconera was doing some digging around and discovered four trademarks for “Shaq Fu” registered by the same folks (“Mine O’Mine”) who registered “Shaqfighter” back in May.
Could this mean the return of Shaq to gaming? Or perhaps we’ll see a 20-year anniversary edition of the game?
