So... Do you guys like The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo?

it's the shit
I would rather watch the nickel samurai

>Prefering the show in which the main actor is a criminal
The Jammin Ninja is the better show.
>>253474624
the Jammin Ninja cover gets me every time they show it.
>>253474624
>>253474858
Sorry to tell you, but the Jammin' Ninja doesn't even compare to the Steel Samurai.
Why? First of all, the Jammin' Ninja is a show directed to young girls. Not like the Steel Samurai, which is directed to young and older audiences alike.
Second, the Steel Samurai is much more pleasing to watch than the Jammin' Ninja. Sure, if you prefer watching a ninja singing about love and friendship, instead of a hero of justice, fighting against all evil, that's your opinion. But I think that the second option is for people with the most refined taste.
Finally, the lore in the Steel Samurai's universe is deeper, than the Jammin' Ninja's. You can see how every character develops through the story: their origins, their feelings, their reasons to fight. Meanwhile, the only thing Jammin' Ninja does is sing to save Princess Misola and become a superstar.
So, as you can see, Steel Samurai has superior characteristics, ergo, being the superior show.BesidesPink Princess>Princess Misola

Isn't that your phone, Mr. Edgeworth? I'm sure I've heard that ringtone somewhere before.
I've been meaning to ask this for a while but I keep forgetting:
Has Edgeworth (or even Franziska) ever made some kind of acknowledgement of the fact that Manfred is an evil criminal twat? It's annoying when they are all sucking his dick with the whole "Omg he's the perfect prosecutor! M-muh mentor..."
>>253475008
>JFA better than AAI
The only good thing about JFA was the last case
>>253474997
> show directed towards younger girls
> ninja sings about friendship and shit
> only girls like it
Mr. Edgeworth, under what Rock have you been living you fool?
>>253475723
no
fuck off maya you filthy slut
it's a stepladder
>Neo Olde Tokyo
>New Old Tokyo
?
>>253475898
The only good thing about AAI is case 4 and 5, and 4 is debatable with Edgeworth's portrayal.
I'll give you that 2-3 was shit, but 2-2 is alright.

>>253476762
That wasn't even a pun, you fucking clown
>>253475843
Franziska in her first appearance straight up refers to him as a fool who tarnished the von Karma name and that was her main drive behind her actions as a prosecutor.
>>253476762
Goddammit, Moe. That bust should've landed on you instead.
>>253476762
They did a pretty good job at conveying how fucking annoying that laugh was only through text
>>253473220
I like Jammin Ninja
Yeah its more of a girls show I guess but he has mad guitar skills and is one with nature
>>253476762I liked Moe
>>253477864

>>253477864I think he's one of the better characters of the trilogy

>>253477987Me too. I also think his case gets too much flak but oh well
>>253477864
I like him too. He's a cool guy and a have a thing for corny jokes.
>>253477987
Let's not go overboard.
>>253478134
I actually liked AJ Ema more than 1-5 Ema.
>>253478246Well, people are right about the cloak landing on the bust being dumb, as well as a lot of the prosecution's points being weak. I love a lot of the characters though, and I think the setting works amazingly with JFA's soundtrack.It was probably my favorite -3 case until AAI2-3 came around
>>253478246
JFA is the weakest game anyway.

Stop discussing the Steel Samurai, you pedophile faggots. Go back to your containment board, /neo/.
This is a board for discussing video games, and thus all threads must pertain to video game culture.
Anyways, anyone catch that murder trial last night on TV? It was all over the news.

What was so special about this Murder trial?
How would you improve Apollo Justice?
>>253483326
Make Phoenix more of a side character
Make the Bracelet less dumb
Have Klavier get some actual development, make him a bit more of an opponent at first rather than your best bud
>>253483326
By completely removing Apollo and just make it another Phoenix game.
>>253483326
Making the witnesses more memorable
I think the only ones I can remember well was Eldoon and the mafia boss with funny eyes
>>253483326
Show that fucking video less times.
That's it, really. I actually really liked AJ.
>>253484210
AJ did a lot of unnecessary flashbacks. They'd flash back to a scene that you just read not five minutes prior.
That said, I also really liked AJ.
>>253478134
Blasphemy! AJ Ema is the best AA girl.

After years of not wanting to play this I finally caved in and started the first game. Fuck that samurai case was too long. It's going to take forever to get through the games
>>253492958
You'll love Investigations.MY EXTRATERRITORIAL RIGHTS PREVENT THIS GAME FROM ENDING
>>253492958
The last two cases are even longer. But fuck they're good.

Yeah I just started the last one today. Fourth was long but it was worth it.
>>253492958

i wouldn't mind a steel samurai action game.
>>253499646
The only legit character in AA that has depression. Others are just "muh DARKNESS"
>>253503036
Me neither. If it were up to me I'd greenlight that along with a bunch of silly spin-offs probably no one else wants to play like Turnabout Fighter and Ace Attorney Kart.

>>253519232

>>253519232
I just want to know why the voice acting is so unsettling in that game, but kinda natural on the GBA games.
>>253520275
Yeah, Phoenix sounds like he still hasn't gone through puberty and Edgeworth sounds like he smokes a pack of cigs a day
>>253520275
I was left with the impression that they were trying really hard to be more "anime" with the voices. You know like really cheesy and exaggerated so you know who's the bad guy/good guy/ sidekick easily.
>>253520505
And Payne doesn't have a shrively voice. Though it is his brother, but then again they look exactly the same minus the hair.
>>253474997
I am sorry, but I am inclined to disagree with you on that matter. While Steel Samurai truly offers traditional male show (or 'shounen') values, it also comes with its own fair share of tired clichés.
The Nickel Samurai is, however, a deep post-modern deconstruction of the qualities of its medium, aimed at playing with the expectations of run-of-the-mill 'shounen' or Samurai animation fun.
In that sense, I do believe it far exceeds the potential of The Steel Samurai as a piece of art, despite being less accessible for the pure entertainment value alone and more fit for the enjoyment of a connoisseur.
>>253521006
I wish they'd go back to chiptunes too, the music was kinda ehh
>>253522552
I agree. While I like DD's soundtrack, it really can't compare to the music of the earlier games.

>>253533346
I've played them all except for AAI2, but I played them so damn casually (translating: played a bit before sleep) that I really don't remember most of the cases. I love the discussions here on /v/ because, aside from MGS, it seems that they are the only polite threadsIt took me about two months to clear the DLC case from DD, because I was coming late from work every day and slept rather quickly, with little to no energy/time left for saving Orca.
I want to play them all again, but in a quicker pace now that I've got more free time from my job. For anyone that already played the Trilogy remake on 3DS: I know it's mostly based on the iOS version, which I actually couldn't stand. Has the manequin heads (pic related) been fixed? Does it feel better than on iPad/iPhone? Otherwise I'll just grab my old DS Lite.

So, what's the status on that AAI2 translation?
>>253542526
complete
>>253542526
Uh, it's pretty much finished.
They still say it's a beta because a typo or two could've slipped by, but it's all solid and works great.
The only bug is that text can get cut off when you change screens (when 3D examining evidence or loading progress). Nothing major, and it rarely happens.
aai2 is good but takes itself a little too seriously, ups the stakes too high and overall the cases are pretty simple and not as interesting as in other games
people will suck up to it for a while because the translation just came out, but its not the best game

Ghost Trick is amazing, but you're not going to have much luck stirring up shit between AA fans and GT fans, since they're basically the same people.

Mr Shields, if you want a hug, you should try going to /r/.
>>253475112
So what the hell was that about in the original, or is it about the same thing? Because I frankly don't understand the significance.
>>253558423
a stepladder can stand on it's own whilst a ladder has to lean on something, i think, not entirely sure. the joke was that it's insignificant and pedantic.
>>253558423
It's a recurring joke throughout the series that characters distinguish the difference between ladders and stepladders whenever one or the other is examined.
>>253483326
Have all the cases connected.
Everything was leading up to one epic conclusion, and they are just like nope, it was that guy you already conviced. end.
>>253558672
>>253558708
Oh, okay. I just had wondered if there was actually something to it in the game because I really couldn't fathom why it was in there at all, let alone why it was so dramatic.
>>253558834
Sometimes connected cases are neat, but I think I prefer standalone cases. I like the variety that the self-contained cases present, instead of trying to make things into a big elaborate murder conspiracy tale. It's one of the reasons the first game is probably my favorite--any case that's somehow connected to the one you're working on was wrapped up along with your primary case. It felt like an anthology of awesome stories instead of one big story divided into little segments.
Did anyone else think that there was going to be a huge plot twist with these two? Like, that Granny is just a dummy or a corpse or some shit, or that Karin is constantly lying about what Granny says?
>>253559675
AAI2 was by far my favorite ace attorney game, because everything was connected. Not only was every case amazing on its own but the fact that they were deeply connected, yet separate completely sold me.
>>253546118
Not only that, but who the shit was the "reporter" who took that photo of blackquil with the murder weapon? I'm willing to bet anything it was Lotta. Who the fuck else would show up, take a single photo and just fucking bolt never to be seen or heard from again. If they had stayed for ANY length of time they would have known what the fuck was happening.
>>253560139
>or that Karin is constantly lying about what Granny says?
But that did happen
>>253560681
Still haven't gotten to AAI2 yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
Finishing up a replay of AJ, then I want to go through AAI one more time before I dive into AAI2. It'll be nice not having to be so cautious about what I look at in these threads again.
Forgot to mention in my previous post, but I think my preference for standalone cases is why I don't mind the long ones. I've been real bummed that we haven't had a 3-day case since the first game.
>>253560536
No, she won't.
Look at her. She's 17 years old and she's a fucking plank, even flatter than Maya
>>253560710
>>253561589
While that would make the most sense, for some reason not a single other person was seen on the security footage right outside of the room. I mean I guess spy gadgets or some shit but really? It seems kinda strange they would just kinda gloss over that one. Like how means shouldn't have even had his staff/spear/whatever the fuck in the beginning of his case.
>>253561982
>Like how means shouldn't have even had his staff/spear/whatever the fuck in the beginning of his case.
that was a bug, actually
>>253561085
Not really... in fact, the opposite happened. She accurately reported what Granny said even when it wasn't good for her.
>>253501067
Wright.
The courtroom debates are Stand fights, and theyWinston Paynebecause they were really punched.
>>253562189
She lied about the report. She couldn't say lies out loud because her granny was right fucking there.
>>253562481
She lied about the report.
Yeah, but she never lied about what Granny was saying. She accurately reported Granny saying "I dictated the report to Karin".
>>253562481
>because her granny was right fucking there.
Well that was the other part of my theory... I thought maybe Granny was drugged up or senile or something, and that Karin had basically hijacked her authority like Grima Wormtongue,

she's pretty central to the final case, and everything involving juniper.
>>253566560
Apollo and Blackquill seemed more central to me, but whatever
>>253566560
Because the game was made around her and Blackquill.
Her story is pretty much done now. Time for her to fuck off.
Here is something that rarely gets discussed:
http://www.kongregate.com/games/ChiefWakamakamu/socrates-jones-pro-philosopher
What do you guys think?I think it's good for a fan inspired game, compared to others. On it's on it's just above average.
>>253566560
She was central to the final case. The only connection she had to Juniper was that they were childhood friends, which was an insignificant plot point.

>Why should I care about the nature of right and wrong?
Is "philosophy" just used interchangeably with "ethics" in this?
>>253568030
Doesn't philosophy also include the nature of wright and wrong, among other things?
>>253568306
Yeah, ethics is a branch of philosophy. But it's not like you'd call someone who only grills burgers a "pro chef."
>>253568679
The same can be said about Phoenix Wright. All he does is murder casesexcept for the first part of 3-2. We never see him doing other cases such as whether or not a company is legit, or who was responsible for a car crash, etc. Yes, murder is more dramatic and the cases are all stacked against your client, however if all you do is murder can someone really be called an Ace Attorney?My answer is yes
>>253568679
Well, we're on 4chan. So most people would probably sneer such remarks to burger flippers.
Besides, even as such, they still are cooks.
>>253569124
Right, but Phoenix never says "I could never get into being an attorney. What do I care about murders?"
I'm just wondering if the game's scope of philosophy goes beyond ethics or not.
>>253569362
I'm not arguing that people who study ethics aren't philosophers. That'd be dumb. I'm saying that the two words aren't synonymous.
>>253569534
>I'm just wondering if the game's scope of philosophy goes beyond ethics or not.
It doesn't, however the game is a flash game released for free and it kinda feels like it was made by some uni students, especially since the philosophy is entry level, or at least that's how I fell.
I personally, don't think all of this are actual flaws in the game.
If this isn't you cup of tea, then I respect your preference.
How can one Defense Attorney be so based?
>>253570576
Nah, I'm all for ethics. I just read that sentence and wanted to know what I was in for is all. Wasn't trying to be a dick about it.
>>253570860
Ah ok. I still hope you will find enjoyment in the game.
>>253570653
Indeed, how?
>>253571067
ahahah oh god.
>>253553568
She insisted on coming along
Also Pearls is a bro 4 lyfe, I'm sure she'd be fine with being Phoenix's concubine as long as Maya is his wife.
Anyone besides me really like the Phantom?
I felt like he was the only villain I could analyze beyond what he appeared on the surface level, like how they twisted the usually comedic mask behind a mask thing to something more disturbing, and relating him to a theme of identity.
I was really impressed that they didn't show his face at the end,I mean his face and identity didn't matter to him so why should it matter to us.
It was also cool that Phantom ended up being the villain with the highest death count, it helps show how in reality it's the hired mercenaries with no tragic past, no elaborate back story, and no true motive besides money that end up causing the most harm.Too bad Athena was a shit and dragged down an otherwise great gameShe was alright in her case though
>>253572687
>being this pleb
The Phantom was a lazy out to a poorly paced 4th/5th case, and pulled the rug in such a way as to remove the entire impact of the reveal.
>>253572687
>his face and identity didn't matter to him so why should it matter to us
Because I wanted to see that fucker and look him in the eye when he realized that I was making his whole world crumble around him.
But they took that from me. They just couldn't let me have that satisfaction.

Athena brought nothing to the game. Even her whole gimmick, the"mood matrix" was completely pointless. You could just keep clicking whatever you wanted without a penalty.
>>253580505
It's another of his reactions
>>253551536
ProtonJon is doing al LP of the first game, no facepalm moments but it's really fun to see his reactions to some of the things
>>253563884
You motherfucker.
>>253580896
But she was important to the story of the final case. So was Simon. That case was about them.
And she still brought the Mood Matrix gimmick to the game, whether you liked it or not.
>>253482994
I'd fuck the shit out of that. With a fuckton of chocolate and whipped cream
>>253483853
Fuck you, faggot. Get rid of Phoenix and let the game have some new progress.
At least Dual Destinies helped fix Apollo.
>>253581164
yeah but I feel like they just as easily could have created a character that they didn't force on you. I know it's dumb but she really bugged me. If the case were about Santa-Larry and Simon, that would be cool.
>>253532216
Disgusting. Too old. And what's up with that makeup?
>>253494990
I just finished last night. It's so good I bought the game.
>>253581591
I feel like a game could be good if it worked off the Phoenix -Apollo dynamic. None of this forgin-evidence or Apollo being a bitch. Introducing Athena robbed us of a game where Phoenix and Apollo stand at the defense's bench as full-fledged attorneys.
Why do people hate the circus case exactly? I thought the killer's motive was interesting
>>253581591
>At least Dual Destinies helped fix Apollo.
By giving him a childhood friend? What else changed?
>>253584348
The worst part is that she's probably going to be in any AA games that take place after DD as one of Phoenix's employees.
>>253584572
they should ship her back to Europe. She did what she set out to do. Von Karma can have her.
>>253584407
I think its the whole "Well it must be Max because he can FLY" thing
>>253584746
Honestly I wouldn't be that upset if she stuck around. But only if I didn't have to play as her, and Trucy was back in the assistant role.
So she can stick around, I just don't want to see that much of her.
>>253584407
I like the circus case, but it seems that the general complaints are about the cast of annoying characters, the pants-on-head case being made by the prosecution (re: >>253584839), and the point that Acro isn't as sympathetic of a character as we're lead to believe (he tried to murder the daughter of the man he owes everything to because she accidentally put his brother into a coma and is too airheaded to understand that--then when he accidentally kills the man he owes everything to, he tries to pin the crime on the one person who is attracting business to the circus).
Anything I missed, 2-3-haters?
>>253584939
I wasn't happy with Trucy only appearing to get rid of unneeded items or for the final DD case. I'm probably hoping for something that will never happen but I want just one case where you deal with an adult Maya Fey. Like Kurain Master and everything. That being said, the case would have to kick ass.
>>253585275
I know you hit on characters. But Moe. Fucking Moe. Everything about him.
>>253585376
>I wasn't happy with Trucy only appearing to get rid of unneeded items or for the final DD case.
You and me both. Trucy was an awesome assistant, and replacing her with Athena really bummed me out. And yeah, seeing an adult Maya would be pretty cool.
>>253585524
As annoying as he was, his one redeeming factor was bringing Regina to court to open her eyes as to what was happening.
Also, I forgot to mention in my previous post that people especially hate Moe because of his section of testimony that you get penalized for pressing the wrong bits. Pretty sure the only other case that has that is 3-3.
I hate Ben and Trilo way more than Moe.
>>253520275
For me partly because i was also playing Tales of Xillia at the time aswell so Phoenix just didn't felt right.
>>253473220
Question:
How many times did you play the Act attorney games?
I did it once but lately i've been getting back to them. I started playing the first again
>>253589906
I just played through them all not more than a year ago. I have to wait before I go back. It's all too fresh
>>253589906
They're great games but they don't have much replay value unless you wait for a really long time.
I did play AAI to case 4 a couple of years back but never finished it, now that the sequel's translated I've replayed it from the start and caught up to the part I was at.
>>253589906
I'm on my second playthrough of the series right now. Honestly, I could see doing this every few years.
While I don't foresee ever forgetting the culprits of each case, I've got a shit enough memory where the journey to the end of each case will still probably be enjoyable.
Can we discuss Ghost Trick too to keep this thread from getting stale?
