If there was one thing that I thought would never happen, it would have been the Ace Attorney movie getting an English adaptation. Color me surprised when this morning I opened my inbox to find a press release stating exactly the opposite. Now all I need to do is find out where I can purchase some Phoenix Wright cosplay so I can do the movie premiere right!

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as if the movie will be playing at a wide range of theaters, if fact, it looks as if it will only be shown at the Summer Anime event AM2. But maybe this means that the movie will be given a DVD treatment sometime after that. Regardless, I am excited for it to come to the States in some form.

Is anyone excited about the Ace Attorney movie? More importantly, is anyone planning on attending AM2? 

Full press release located after the break.

First footage of the Japanese Phoenix Wright movie have hit the interwebs, and movie looks surprisingly accurate to the video game counterpart. If only I could speak Japanese because, yeah, this DEFINITELY not coming stateside. You can take that to the bank.

Regardless, it’s pretty cool to see one of my favorite DS franchises given the live action treatment.

What do you think? What games would you like to see on the big screen?

This sounds like a very early April Fools’ prank, but Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney is an actual game that Level-5 and Capcom are putting together for the 3DS. I cannot wait for those accusatory fingers come pointing out of my screen, even if we don’t have a clue about gameplay yet! Hopefully the game gets released outside of Japan.

What do you think: Good idea? Bad idea? Awesome idea?

Pretty sweet.  Check out how Nick created them right here!  Now I have to wonder if anyone will make Apollo Justice themed panties.
