We posted the Ace Attorney 6 anime prologue a few days ago, but it may not have been too worthwhile for those who can’t understand Japanese. MegamanNG has since made a video available with English subtitles, which you can watch below.

Thanks to Zach for the tip.

Capcom included a link to a survey in the Japanese version of Mega Man Legacy Collection. Two questions in particular stand out.

At one point of the survey, Capcom asks if “you would like to play a new entry in the classic series (like Mega Man 11).” A third section pertains to future collections, and asks which past series (X, Zero, Legends, Battle Network, ZX, Star Force) fans would like to see in a package.

I’m not one to make a big deal out of surveys, but this one is a bit interesting. Will anything materialize based on how fans respond? That I’m unsure of!

During GDC 2016 today, Capcom localization director Andrew Alfonso delivered a talk on adapting games for worldwide audiences. A portion of his presentation was about bringing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate west. He spoke about the ways in which he and the team approached the English version – including staying away from memes.

He said:

“I started thinking that I don’t want people picking up my games on release saying, ‘I like these in-style meme references,’ and then another player picking up the games four years later and thinking, ‘They referenced 300 — that sucks!'”

Update: Another tidbit of history from Renegade Kid – a port of Nina Five-O from GBA to DS.

Yesterday, Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham shared on Twitter that the company once pitched a Game Boy Advance port of Demon’s Crest to Capcom. Nothing ever materialized from those early discussions though, as low sales of the SNES version didn’t warrant a port to the handheld.

Watsham also said that Renegade Kid “pitched a lot of things” to Capcom as well as Konami. But much like Demon’s Crest, talks did not progress too far.

Watsham’s tweets are as follows:

Capcom published another round of Ace Attorney 6 details and screenshots today. We have content for how the story begins, new character Potdino, and the puppy Mitamaru. You’ll find everything rounded up below, courtesy of Gematsu.

What happens when Phoenix Wright first visits the Kurain Kingdom?

– To meet up with the Maya Fey, who is in training, Phoenix Wright visits the Kurain Kingdom
– Goes sightseeing in the streets of Kurain with tour guide Bokuto Tsuani while waiting for Maya to finish
– As this happens, the Kurain Kingdom’s prized treasure, the “Jewel of the Founder,” is stolen
– Its guard is murdered as well
– There’s testimony from chief priest Potdino who is said to have witnessed the incident
– Bokuto is arrested on charges of theft and murder by means of the “”Oracle of the Spirit” who projects what the victim saw just before his death

What the heck is the “Crime of Defense?”

– The courtroom of the Kurain Kingdom is a spiritual medium trial absent of lawyers
– There is no room for the accused to explain their case—they’ll be “guilty”
– Phoenix Wright believes in Bokuto’s innocence
– He volunteers to defend Bokuto to prevent that from happening
– As soon as Phoenix distinguishes himself as a lawyer, his attitude completely changes
– He despises Phoenix and will not speak the truth
– If he continues his defense, he’ll be accused of a the “Crime of Defense”

Potdino Niwackus: Temple Chief Priest and Musician

– Devout follower of the Kurain faith
– Chief priest of the Jiin Temple
– Calls his “damaran,” an instrument of the Kurain people, his partner, and performs the musical accompaniment to Leifa’s Dedication Dances
– Fascinates the audience listening to the trial and even the presiding judge as he sings the music of his people while testifying
– He says he saw the scene where Bokuto killed the victim, but…

Mitamaru: Bokuto’s Faithful Pup

– Puppy raised by Bokut
– Normally completely inside Bokuto’s bag
– But when Bokuto is in a pinch, it gallantly leaps out and barks at the Bokuto’s opponent
– Adorable and faithful
– Prideful Tibetan Mastiff
– May play a surprisingly big role
