Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice is covered quite extensively in the latest issue of Famitsu. The magazine goes over episode 3, and introduces new characters in the process.
Here’s the lowdown:
– Maya arrested on suspicion of murder when a priest is killed during the final rite of her training
– Both were alone at the time in the shrine
– When the murder happened, Maya was playing the role of the country’s mythical bird princess
– Said to have protected the country in a time of conflict
– The bird princess is so popular there’s a show based off of her, “Torisaman” (a play on “Tori”, bird, and “Tonosaman”, the JP name for the Steel Samurai)
– Nayuta returns to Kurain to take the case
– Ema is traveling with him
– She offers to help Phoenix in his investigation with the old Luminol magic
– Two new characters are revealed who have direct ties: Nanashiino Ganbe and Saara Aatam
– Nanashiino Ganbe: a man so amnesiac he’s appended “Tentative” to his own name
– Saara Aatam: the victim’s wife
– Aatam seems to be hiding something
– This leads to the re-introduction of the Psyche-Lock system
– Druk: leader of the revolutionary forces known
– Inga Karakhul Kurha’in: Rayfa’s father
– Inga is not only the husband of the queen but the Minister of Justice in the country, making his struggle against the revolutionaries that much more personal
– Revisualization makes its return
– Unlike AA5 where the process was shown as moving from left to right, here it’s visualized as diving “into” the screen
Earlier today, Nintendo announced that the 2DS price point will be lowered to $80 next week. That was accompanied by a promo which we posted a few hours ago.
Towards the end of the video, Nintendo shows off what appears to be a new slogan: “There’s no play like it”. What do you guys think? Love it? Hate it? Indifferent?
This week’s issue of Famitsu provides more information on Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages. We have details about additional characters, events, and facilities.
First up is Ford, one of the groom candidates. He’s a doctor and has a clinic located in Wes Town under the name White Castle. Ford’s part time job has him being a test subject for his medicine experiments that have different effects. He’s involved with child delivery, too.

Two separate versions of Miitomo are out now. iOS users can download version 1.2.1 while the app is up to version 1.2.2 on Android.
We reported yesterday that the new email invite feature was resulting in crashes on iOS. After updating, this should no longer be a problem. At this time, we’re not quite sure what version 1.2.2 includes for Android users.
This week, Nintendo announced that special content from Super Mario will be added to Minecraft: Wii U Edition on May 17. Xbox boss Phil Spencer had only positive things to say about the partnership on Twitter.
Spencer tweeted out the following:
@YTMaxi Partnership with Nintendo on this has been great, nice to see Minecraft doing so well on the Wii U and to get the Mario content.

Microsoft acquired Minecraft as well as developer Mojang in 2014. That means the company is directly tied into all business decisions made with the game, including partnerships.
