Somehow got mine delivered a day early (that hasn't happened since Persona 5). About halfway through case 1.
I somehow missed the whole "Story mode" addition (though I see it in the OP). Not something I'd use, but it's a cool addition. Actually, once I finish the game, it might be funny to turn that and autoplay on and basically use the game as background noise. :P

Yes, I'd say these games may be right up your alley, though note what you'd be getting into, such as some specifics for these two entries: they take place at the turn of the 20th century, and are based on the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Expect more fantastic, "singular" crimes. In general, the mysteries and crimes are fairly elaborate and twisty in the Ace Attorney series. GAA seems to be a bit more grounded, but that's relatively speaking.
The gameplay is focused around the thrill of a turnabout; the thrill of turning an argument (and the court) upside down, and unravelling the mystery in each case in the process. You build logical links between the facts of the case and slowly poke holes at testimony and opposing arguments until you reach the truth. If what you're looking for is thrilling arguments and deducations using the courtroom setting, yes, absolutely, it's easy to recommend. But primarily the court is used solve the mystery in each episode.
Also, as mentioned above, the games do not feature full voice acting. Voice acting is mostly reserved for animated cutscenes. The games are basically novel-esque—nothing but text outside of the point and click segments.
It's definitely adjacent at a minimum. You are generally put into courtroom situations defending your client, but it eventually shifts to the offensive as you must nail the culprit to prove your client's innocence. If you're into trying to connect the web of evidence to craft a narrative, the courtroom segments should be a blast.
The investigation segments, ymmv. They've gotten much more interactive, but those (and the game as a whole) are quite reading heavy. Basically depends on your appetite for reading. If you're down, there's almost nothing else like it.
Thanks for the replies!This sounds fun and like what we always wanted. Really, really wish there was voice acting but I'll show my girlfriend some videos of the game and see if we think this would be a good purchase
Huh, good to know, this is the release time of the Steam release.

Like others, I got the Switch physical a day early and I'm sort of in shock. First time that's ever happened. The holy grail is finally mine! :p
Unfortunately, I'm committed to Neo:TWEWY this week so this little stroke of luck is in vain. Oh well, lol.

I love how his default state is "internal screaming"
The budget was also heavily cut as well, but still is considered better than the first despite that.
they probably change this after or during the first case, but it's a little goofy that they literally translated what must be "hai!" call-outs to "yes!" in english
i know next to nothing about japanese so i might just be totally wrong here -- i mean, i guess something like "excuse me" or "uhh" or something would have been pretty awkward too

Hmmm I'm not getting any sound for some reason: using the steam version

Playing NEO TWEWY but will start this later tonight, really looking forward to it, been listening to the soundtrack for years at this point
Only played the first two cases fan translated, and other than being spoiled on (GAA2 spoiler) Asogi not really being dead I'm going in relatively fresh

I always figured this would be an issue that couldn't be solved. "Hai" can be used in so many different ways that it would be more accurate to translate each instance differently, but that also takes away from the classic Ace Attorney feeling of have that go-to phrase for your character. Having the same word each time also has a different impact, and I would imagine having a different "hai" each time could be a bit more of a logistical nightmare.
Either way, it ends up feeling quite different than the Japanese.
Case 1 done. I'll always be glad that by Ace Attorney 3 they realized that Case 1s could actually be consequential while still being "tutorial" cases.
One of the highlights of the case was seeing Ryunosuke slowly progress and gain confidence through the case, going from his weak table slaps to proper Ace Attorney style finger points.
Though my one complaint would be that about the last fifth or so of the case could have been skipped by simply asking "Hey, can we also see the other one?" Instead we had to take a lot of extra steps. :P

Curse my desire to get that amazing box art lol
Just a little more patience until my order arrives tomorrow...

Snuck in about 20m this morning before I have to start work.
This is the first thing in like 8 months that has actually made me miss my once a week 1 hr commute...

i have to say, i _adore_ the 3d modelling and animation in modern ace attorney games. i can't believe how faithfully they've recreated the vibe of the GBA games in 3d. it's the sort of thing i would have just assumed impossible to get right.
i know it's been pretty good since aa5, but seeing it on switch is still really, really impressive.

It is an absolute wonder. I remember being so skeptical about the jump to 3D, but Dual Destinies immediately put me in my place, and it's just been getting better and better.
I kind of like the "Yes!", though I'm coming at it from just case 1. I think it's kind of funny that every "Yes!" is followed up with a "but no" lol.
I've mentioned this before in other topics but what I think really sells the animations is that the majority of them are motion capture while AA5 / 6 were for the most part standard animations, almost in an attempt to mimic the sprite work of the originals. The result is something that comes off so much more natural and immersive
Welp. Kinda regret buying from GMG now lol
I hope at the very least the codes are coming today
Actually couldn't sleep last night knowing that this was waiting for me. Just started the first case and I can't believe I'm actually getting to play it in English.
These animations are so good. I already mentioned Ryunosuke's weak table slam and him looking at it in despair, but I also want to toss one of Auchi's I just saw, where he went from sweating, and pulling a hand over his face to become calm. Very theatrical lol.
I got my copy in the mail earlier today (I rarely ever get games early like this!) and I'm already in the middle of the second case of the first game. I've been waiting so long to play this it feels so good to experience a new Ace Attorney game for the first time. I'm having a really great time so far. Also the music is absolutely wonderful as always, I love Kazuma's theme!
I think "Wait!" could have worked better in these contexts, but it's also maybe a bit similar to "Hold it!" and they're seemingly holding that back from us in case 1.
First trial just went on forever lol and honestly didn't make a lick of sense with how it turned out.
Looking forward to play this.
Used to be a big AA fan but I kind of quit the series after 5 which did nothing to me.
Then I played GAA1 which I loved but did feel too long... and GAA2's slow start just made me stop at a time I had a lot of other games on my plate.
I'm planning on going all the way through this time.

Steam version unlocking way earlier than usual for me (7/8pm) was a very positive surprise.
Anyone know if you can enable and disable the story mode thing freely? I sometimes get stuck in these games and looking for a walkthrough in those cases is always a bit risky, so it'd be nice if you could enable story mode for just a minute to get over those roadblocks.
