I don't know why people were doubting this. They remastered almost every other game, and localized them into tons of new languages. The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles was probably a financially riskier move, considering it didn't have any iconic characters to help sell it, but they released it anyway. Even the obscure game Ghost Trick got remastered, and that game's biggest selling point is, "Made by the creator of Ace Attorney."

Fun fact was watching Nintendo Direct with a friend who's never played Ace Attorney let alone Investigations. And he immediately reacted with "omg they put gameplay in Ace Attorney". Yeah he's kinda right to be frank.

I have a feeling they had to release the Investigations games, especially AAI2 to the west because they'll include those characters in AA7 somehow.

I am a little sad that we don't get the fan names, but obviously it makes sense why they couldn't. I do agree that people are so... overly hateful about the name changes? Like, I'm afraid this'll give capcom (or the higher ups) the wrong idea that people didn't want the game in the first place. I do still agree with the theory that AA7 will be announced sometime next year. Capcom now has 0 excuses now that all but one AA game is available for modern players (though I wouldn't complain about PLvPW getting a remaster/port-) Your character sprite sets are so pretty though!! The artstyle is also super nice and cute. The editing style also flowed pretty nice imo!

I mean we know have every ace Attorney game(exceptbthe layton one) on modern consoles. There is no better time for an ace Attorney 7 announcment so I still think that you might be right. And honestly I like the new names. I of course also love the old names and they will always be in my heart. As for the new names I actually really Like Eustace (but the winner part only alright) Eustace Winner like Useless Winner/Whiner But also Eustace->Yoostice->Justice. It can sound like justice so we also uave Justice Winner. Also there is an ACE hidden in eustACE! And we can have nicknames like Ace, Acey, Stacy. And honestly the Name Eustace just kind of fits him in my opinion(as does Sebastian but thats not the point)

I absolutely love how Capcom has basically made Switch the definitive platform for replaying old Ace Attorney games. They have the Original Trilogy, the Apollo Justice Trilogy, the Great Ace Attorney Collection, and now even the Miles Edgeworth Investigations Collection. I'm not quite sure if I've counted them all, but IIRC that means the only one NOT released for Switch yet is a remake of PLvsAA, and that is a slight stretch to even include in the list.

Wouldn't be surprised if the AAI2 being released within a short window of its announcement would indicate Capcom not wanting it to cannibalize sells with AA7 if it where to happen next year?

"...And a loser." You're completely right. But also, how dare you.

Eddy grew on me when i realized it's meant to go alongside Edgeworth, specifically Gregory. Edgeworth and Eddy

I think I don't understand why so much backclash into accepting new names. I'm part of the french community of Ace Attorney. We didn't had a french translation of the games for DD, SoJ and the Investigation intil the Apollo Justice Trilogy (We still don't have one for the Great Ace Attorney Collection 😢) and the french community are really welcoming for the new translation/names even if we are used to the english names at first. And same thing with the Investigation. So I am like "please chill out this is just 1 game that change names not 4" 😅 Oh and funny thing in french Verity Gavèlle is.. Justine Delacourt. The literral translation of Justine Courtney 😆 (Oh and we have Uncle Freddy too xD)

To this day I want to punch myself for staying up late to watch the Summer Games Fest thinking we'll see Ace Attorney. At least I redeemed myself by watching the Investigations Collection announcement live.

I actually like Eustace Winner because he will always be my weenie boy. Eddy Fender is the most fitting name for Ray in my opinion. Verity is fine.

“A judge, a defense attorney, and a loser.” Big 3 right there

Eustace Winner gave me the biggest laugh I can recall ever having, I'll take it gladly. I really like the fan translated names, but I'm interested to see the Capcom Localizer's own spin on making puns for every character in Investigations 2. As for Ace Attorney 7, between re-releasing every game and the timeframes they take to come out continuing to decrease, I feel like you're right on with Ace Attorney 7 surely coming soon. This time next year is a fair bet, but I do think there's a chance we might even see it late this year.

I am definitely excited for this release. I threw my hands up at the ceiling and had to remember to keep my voice down, as it was 7 in the morning and I did not want to wake anyone up.

They really like depicting this man with his jacket half on here huh? Have at him fangirls. But anyway, hype for Investigations 2. As for AA7 i think you're right about next year being it. Pretty much since 2021, they've been chucking Ace Attorney at us consistently. Not even a year between Apollo and Edgeworth collections. Actually, i even think it was less time between Ghost Trick HD (Ace Attorney adjacent) and Apollo. They cooking something i hope.

agree with all your points great video

I feel like the backlash for the names (which aren't so bad IMO, just different) was inevitable. The longer they put off localizing it, the more people would had been exposed to the fan names, so more and more people just accepted them. And the reaction is just natural because now everyone will have to get used to the official names. People will surely get over it fast. But people threatening to mod or boycott because of the names are taking it WAY too far. It's gonna be fine.

Yeah, Blaise would name him that.

I don’t know if anyone else in the comments has mentioned this yet, but I would also like to point out how clever they were with the localized title, “Prosecutor’s Gambit” It’s a nod to the fact that many chess openings have similar names (Queen’s gambit, King’s gambit, Scotch gambit, etc), so it fits extremely well with the chess themes of the game

I will always keep saying Sebastian Debeste since it's "The best" get it? But in all seriousness i'm excited for the investigations collection i need it. But have you tried Ace Attorney Fan Games? I would love to see you cover those

What matters is we are finally getting I2 in the west and more people can experience how amazing it is

My theory as to why investigations 2 being localised is that they want to introduce Sebastian/Eustace to western audiences, as I believe he is going to be the main rival prosecutor to athena (who I believe is getting the spotlight) in ace Attorney 7

I think the fact that this came so soon after the Apollo Justice trilogy release has me all but 100% convinced that Ace Attorney 7 is a 2025 game. They easily could’ve held this until 2025 to space out its release further but releasing one collection in the first half of the year and another collection in the second half feels very intentional. This also isn’t to mention the fact that the Switch 2 releases next year, and AA games have historically been timed exclusive for Nintendo platforms (though I wouldn’t be shocked if they abandoned that strategy in favor of a multi platform release much like Atlus has as of late.) I also may be coping.

My prediction was always right. I always knew that AAI2 would be localized and bundled in with AAI1 before AA7 was even announced. Obviously, AA7 may likely already be in development, if not in predevelopment phase. I find it hard to believe that this new collection could've been completed in half a year. Crunch culture notwithstanding, I believe that Capcom essentially knew they had an epic project on their hands: with GAAC, it will make no sense to not remaster the older games before starting anew, so I believe the Investigations Collection and Apollo Justice Trilogy were being developed simultaneously at the same time, with the latter being prioritized of course, especially since there was no need to localize a formerly Japanese-only script. The proof is in the updated mini-sprites. They're so detailed and had so much work put into them, that there is no reason to ever go back to the pixelated SNES graphics of the original DS (and IOS remasters for some reason).

I think (and I really hope I'm right) they want to bring the characters from AAI to AA7, and they need AAI2 to be localized for that to happen. I've said this time and time again, that they do not need to add a new prosecutor and/or defense attorney every single game when they already have so many memorable and beloved characters that still has a lot of potential. Players have been asking where's Franziska, Gumshoe, Lang, Kay, Sebastian/Eustace, and would be ecstatic to see them in the current time and interact with the rest of the cast!

Honestly, this video made me feel a lot more positive about this remaster. I got so tied up on the names when I should be happy this is coming out to begin with. Not to mention, you have the ability to change yo sprite form!

Eddie Fender is a pun on defender…

I don't know much about Ace Attorney, so I'm just gonna say this: Love the new sprites!❤️

5:17 Oh man it really says something that I fully recognize the general gist of this dialogue. I spent a not-insignificant portion of my life translating I2 Case 1. So, one of the AAI2 fan translation team here. It's bittersweet knowing our work is no-longer needed, but I'm happy we helped create more interest for this game in the west. It's truly one of the best in the series and I highly recommend checking it out. (Sadly Investigations 1 is pretty meh, so you're paying for half the bundle) And I also have mixed feelings on the name reactions. On one hand, it's nice to see so much love for our fan names. On the other... please don't be hostile to the official ones. I actually like Verity Gavelle much more than Justine Courtney. As for Eustace, the REAL question is... how will the official localizations handle his CONSTANT PUNS ON HIS OWN NAME??? He's, in general, a nightmarish character to translate for so I wish the official translators luck. THEY'LL NEED IT. (Debeste/Winner is kind of my baby but also a source of immense pain)

Ace Attorney Investigators 3 added with 1+2 would be extra spicy for a Nintendo Direct, but holding on hope for it to comes out and Ace Attorney 7 too somewhere in the future

I was blown away when this was announced. I never thought we would get a localized version of AAI2, more than a decade later. This makes me happy because now fans can finally experience the awesome spinoff. Of course I will. I've done it before on DS and will do so again. Also, for Ace Attorney 7, I want one thing... the return of Franziska von Karma. I want to see how much she has grown, changed or hell, be more whip happy than ever.

I love both investigations games so i can't wait to buy the collection when it releases 😊

2 titles in the same year gives major vibe that capcom sees how popular the series is getting

as someone who got into the franchise just last year, this genuinely feels the perfect time to do so! i already played the original trilogy and the great ace attorney, and shortly after i was done with them they announced the apollo justice trilogy! and now this??? i feel so spoiled haha

I actually really like Eddie Fender because it makes him sound like some slick character from a 40's gangster movie, but they've also got a so-on-the-nose-it-hurts pun in there. It's great!

Okay, thoughts on names: 1. Verity Gavelle - It's good and gives the same vibe as the fan name. 2. Eddie Fender - He gets to call himself Uncle Eddie and you can't tell me otherwise. 3. Eustace Winner - Fine, I guess. It will mostly depend on whether or not his dialogue makes up for it. The best part of the fan translation was how he used his name as a pun for being DeBeste. As long as that is retained, I'll be happy.

Gavelle is a pun on gavel…

Eustace Wiener would have been better. Cuz him being oblivious to how his name is not winner fits how hed think hes a winner

Of course I have pre-ordered the game, it is a game where I have the spotlight. Not that joke of a defense attorney. Now if you'll excuse me, I have tea to drink.

Entry of the Gladiators? intereting choice.

I think the collection is a good idea because everybody loves nostalgia as long as people don’t bend you over the head with it

this means that if they want to bring any characters from investigations into aa7 they can

As someone who absolutely hates Debeste's new name... Yeah no, the amount of hate and mockery I've seen of these names is ridiculous. Like, someone even went so far as to change the names of all other AAI2 characters on the wiki to... annoyingly unfunny names. It's fixed now, but there were such jabs as Dane Gustavia as Gord Rammy, Horace Knightley as Poauny Knight, and the ever-spoilery... Simon Keyes as Manny Pulator.

It really does seem like they're building towards another ace attorney game. Great video!

Old school AA fans know that AA announcements typically come during Tokyo Game Show, which happens at the end of September. The fact that the AAI Collection releases almost 1 full month before means there's no chance they hold back a potential announcement to "avoid taking the focus away" from the AAI Collection, so there's a VERY solid chance we get an AA7 announcement in TGS 2024.

I'm the one person who likes all three names

Let me remind you that Great Ace Attorney Chronicles was announced in April 2021 and released in July 2021. Also 3 months. So if anything, it's Apollo Justice that was the real outlier here

Ever since The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles was announced, I realized that they were doing something big for the franchise. After releasing the original trilogy for everyone, they finally released for the world two games that never were localized in their original console. And three years later, the new trilogy has the same treatment of the original. From there it finally was clear that they're wanting to make the whole franchise available, and that went to them finally release the Investigations games and localize Investigations 2 at last. The meaning of this is simply INSANE! And of course, the official localization would mean to say goodbye to the fan-translation names we loved for 10 years. And while I'm not a fan of the new names, I'm still so grateful that we finally have Prosecutor's -Path- Gambit and for everyone to play. And, besides the Layton crossover (which I asume will be a standalone release or not ported), the path is finally craved for Ace Attorney 7! It's the only conclusion. Ace Attorney fans are rejoicing for this!

This is a massive deal. Almost every single major AA game is now on modern consoles AND localized, except the Layton crossover obviously. Not only am I super excited to finally have pretty much every Ace Attorney game on one console, but this gives me even more hopes about Ace Attorney 7. Now Capcom has nothing else to give us, but a new AA game and I can’t wait for that time to come! :)

From this, I think finally releasing aai2 in english, will pave the way for aa7 to come out, as there are no other projects for capcom to possibly be working on now, apart from aa7

negativity? everyone's been positive to average from what I've seen. I've legitimately seen very few complaints. :\

It’ll be pretty funny if they decide to release the professor Layton crossover instead of AA7 But I actually find it pretty interesting how quickly they’re putting the ace attorney games out on switch, makes me think they want people to be fully caught up with the series, so I just wonder what they’re planning with AA7

I wouldn't put it past Capcom to give a little nod to the fan translations. A line like, "Some may even know me as, 'The Best.'" Or something like that. I think it would be cute.

We got everything TGAAC, Apollo justice trilogy, AAIC.... About time we get AA7 now.

I called that last year when the Apollo justice trilogy was announced and am so looking forward to this duoligy while I did enjoy the fan names (while I haven't played it) I actually don't mind that though I'm wondering how eustice father's name would now be go by cause Blaise debest was a very fitting name for him.

I’m not particularly begging for an AA7 right now, despite being relatively burned out on replaying the games over and over I do still feel enormously happy we have nearly every single game localized on modern hardware. Here’s hoping for the professor to make the jump.

i dont think ive seen your channel before but you said you used new portraits and ya i think theyre good

AA7 will Probably be announced alongside the switch 2

I mean, I'll just be glad to be able to play Investigations 1 again. Mine was stolen years ago, and that was long after the game was discontinued.

I feel like part of the reason that the name "Eustace Winner" has seen so much negativity is because there were some people holding out hope that the character might get a standalone game or something, and with the name "Sebastian Debeste" that was almost that was almost believable, but not so much the new name.

I can believe the stage is set for a new Ace Attorney game to take the spotlight. Since with the Investigations Collection now a thing, we now EVERY past Ace Attorney game on modern consoles! The original trilogy, the Apollo trilogy, the Great Ace Attorney duology, and now the Invsetigations duology! Its complete now!

For Eustace winner I never thought about Eustace being useless but instead thought of winner as in whiner. So combining it Useless whiner is a bit much for him.

Your avatar is so cute!

It's surprising how much some people get fixated about things that they shouldn't be wasting their energy on: We had a fan translations for years (an amazing, good one) which is not official. Capcom finally decides to bring the second game to the West with a collection, new sprites, orchestrals, just leaving it all out there for two "obscure" games and some people decide to complain and hate something that was NOT official in the first place instead of focusing on the best news ever, you are getting these games man, Jesus xD. Sure, those were cool names but that's it, be thankful that Capcom has ported the whole franchise to modern consoles/PC and shut up xD. On another note, I was so happy seeing that announcement even though I've played them both, played 2 only like 3 years ago and beat it last year cause I stopped playing (pandemic and such) so it is fresh in my mind and even though I don't remember much of the first game due to playing it back in the day, Ace Attorney is one of those series/games I cannot replay (I don't replay many games either) because I know already what's gonna happen so it ruins that effect of the plot twists and such. I wil still get it to support Capcom and let them know we love this series, might even gift a game to someone I might meet that loves the franchise and hasn't played the games. Anyway, good to see a fellow Ace Attorney lover, I don't know anyone in person that loves the franchise so this is the best I can get lol.

Heck yeah, more Ace Attorney! Edgeworth's time to shine yet again. :)

love how they keep secret of the release of the collection =]] The annoucement make the nintendo direct much much better, surely only fan of AA will praise that much for such small reveale but only those understand how long for this to come to surface wil know =]]

Ace Attorney

Every Ace attorney game besides the Layton crossover (WHICH IS GOOD I'LL DIE ON THIS HILL) is on modern consoles.

Don't they usually reveal Ace Attorney games at the Tokyo Game Show?

While I think the Eustace Winner jokes are hilarious, I kind of think Ray Shields as Eddie Fender is the worst of the three. Ray's naming was supposed to be more subtle like Phoenix Wright, Mia Fey, and Miles Edgworth (not to mention, his ties to Miles can be really seen in his name. After all, an edge meeting a shield is the symbol of a contradiction, and that symbolism is used for the prosecutors trophy) Having his name be a simple pun just makes him feel like a Doofy witness and not the major character to Edgewroth's life that he truly is. Edit: OK you saying "Uncle Ed" completely changed my name on his name lol

Eustace Winner 🤣

There's always the thing where it becomes cool to hate on something and you see a lot of bandwagoning people jump on it and then if you actually talk to them a lot of them never even played the game they're complaining about. They're just farming internet points so they want to say whatever is the "hype" thing to say. Then there's the people who somehow tied their personality to something and any time something changes about it or something else that they see as competing gets attention, Super Saiyan Hipster 5 comes out and they have to loudly declare that it's terrible and that everyone who disagrees is a baby or has bad taste. It's very unfortunate when it happens, especially if it unfairly tarnishes the reputation of a game that's legitimately good. So I would say just play the official release and decide for yourself what you like better. I'm fine with the new names, I'm more curious if the official translation will address the complaints about some of the later cases dragging on a bit. Also people already did this same song and dance with Herlock Sholmes and the official release of Great Ace Attorney 1 and 2 is fantastic.

It'd be even funnier if, instead of making AA7, they make a collection of all the remasters and sell that as one game.

Hating the official names will blow over soon, if the reaction to the official TGAA names compared to the Scarlet Study names is anything to go by. Though, in that case, the likers of the Scarlet Study/transliterated names are those who care about accuracy to the japanese version, who are a totally separate group from most western Ace Attorney fans, and only had relevancy in AA circles while Scarlet Study was being released. Typical AA fans online hyper embrace these hyper localized elements that are unheard of for most game series, even calling it "the only way to localize a game like Ace Attorney" in some cases. This however leads to an emotional attachment to the localized names for more typical and active AA fans, that wasn't seen with Scarlet Study. So that might be problematic and lead to much longer lasting outcry over the names. But if that happens, a modder might take the time to mod in the fan names, which was a thing for TGAA, but it fell through, and no one really cared that it did.

Well people say this part of the Ace Attorney Series is the weakest I’m still looking for to playing it. Also an Ace Attorney 7 would be really cool. Thanks for the video Barbieronpa. =]

WHO DID YOU JUST CALL A LOSER??🙁🙁

They will be releasing a remaster of Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney for modern devices next year, so Ace Attorney 7 will be released by 2026. Source: I am just guessing 😂😅

"People are overly negative about the name changes" - bruh, nobody is actually upset. We're just clowning, it's a bit of banter. Obviously, we'll use the official names and acclimate to them - it's just fun to say "I'm not calling him Eustace"!

This is the 9nth and 10th port, at this point I’m mostly just glad they’ve ran out of games to port and they HAVE to make smth new now, but with our luck, they’ll just go radio silent for years again lol Watch like, 2027 have a vs port then more radio silence

Boys want AA7 Men want TGAA-3 😔😔😔😔

Capcom, you better announce 'Ace Attorney 7' within this year or next year! Also, please bring back Gumshoe, Franziska, Iris and the 'Investigations' characters!

M

The only thing I don't like is that they're selling 2 Nintendo DS games at 40 dollars (which is a shame cud I'm broke asf), idk I'll buy in September, or wait for the sales.

Spoilers?

Investigations 2 is my least favorite game of the franchise but I am glad it's coming out I'm also intrigued at the prospect of the localization. Especially because it is the only one of the modern games to be localized after the year it takes place

Im excited for this release but im the part of the people who isnt fond of some of the names Namely eddie fender Cause it is such a basic pun for very important character Like you would expect this pun from irrelevant character like hammond from 1-4 but nope. Eaustance,tbh at first I hated it but it does suits him and I'm starting slowly to accept it(positively in fact). Also, I dreading how they will name the final villain cause their name is perfect. It has so much meaning But again I very excited to play this game once more cause it is my fav AA game

I just don't like how on the nose new localized names are in franchise, i'm sorry but the Spirit of Justice left a poor taste in my mouth, though i do know it wasn't much better in the original either. I'm merely interested in the new voices... I would still hear ProZd whenever i see Greg tho. I assume by the trailer Miles will retain the classic voice (thank god his VA wasn't a huge PoS or if he was, he hid it better than Ben Judd).

my problem with the name "eddie fender" is that... it's such a lazy pun. it sounds more like a first-case victim than a highly plot relevant character. and as a huuuge fan of raymond shields, i just wish they did him more justice :( and "eustace winner" just sounds awful to me. i will not call my son by that horrible name.

I kinda hate the name Eddie Fender, honestly. Eustace WInner is a terrible name. But it suits him to have a terrible name.

Amazing video. This is the first of yours I’ve come across but won’t be the last, I use AA music in all my videos so I couldn’t have been happier 🥹 always glad to see more AA discussion on KZfaq
