[Review] Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
Posted on 5 years ago by Campbell(@CampbellSGill) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: April 9, 2019
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
It’s not often that a game can make a debate over the date on a receipt into a matter of life and death, but that’s exactly the kind of storytelling that characterizes the Ace Attorney franchise. Making their first appearance in court all the way back in 2001 on the Game Boy Advance in Japan, the series of visual novel adventure games has made a name for itself for its iconic lines, twisting narratives, and memorable characters. Capcom has now seen fit to bundle the first three entries into the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, marking the franchise’s debut on HD home consoles with a small handful of modern changes. Of course, this begs the question: so many years after their initial releases, can the original Ace Attorney games still make a convincing case for themselves? Let’s commence our investigation and find out.

Beta footage has appeared for two notable Nintendo games. Game Catalogue 2, a ’90s Japanese video game show hosted by Famitsu, featured Super Mario 64 and Super Mario RPG prior to their release. Recordings of both episodes have now popped up online.
For Super Mario 64, we’re able to see a few interesting things. First, Cool Cool Mountain’s portrait is just a generic snow-capped mountain. Other than that, the footage shows placeholder voices for Mario.

Yoshi’s Crafted World dev explains how the game came to be and how Switch influenced the project
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
After making Yoshi’s Woolly World on Wii U (and eventually 3DS), Good Feel continued with the IP to produce Yoshi’s Crafted World on Switch. Members of the development team spoke about the project in-depth in this month’s issue of Nintendo Dream.
According to director Masahiro Yamamoto, talks with Nintendo began before Switch launched. It was actually Nintendo who asked Good Feel is the company wanted to make another Yoshi game as opposed to the other way around. Also, due to Switch’s nature of playing with others and a home console that can be taken on the go, that acted as a major point of influence and led to the idea of having two sides to the different stages.
