So... Yeah! We get an Edgeworth game now. Anyone excited about it? Anyone scared about it? Share your thoughts!


Edit: Corrected the title

Whaaat?! This, what with Apollo Justice still being the newest release in the series so far?!

It's kind of a double-edged sword for me. While I am excited about a game starring Miles Edgeworth, we have the fact that I've gotten so used to playing the defense attourney!

[Pleading Eyes]

Yes, I heard about this!

Apparently the court room mechanics are about the same, but the investigative parts will be more of a side-scrolling adventure game.

And is it true that you get Gumshoe as your sidekick? Awesome. XD

This game looks like it's going to be a perfect example of a spinoff that sells because fans were desperate to play something involving their favorite characters, and not because it's a great game. What does this title have going for it? You walk around a crime scene and discover overlooked evidence. I get this mental picture of Edgeworth with a pooper scooper cleaning up his dopey dog Gumshoe's messes.

This had better 1) have one incredible storyline, and 2) get rave reviews (from non-PW-addicts). If it doesn't, well, I'm just going to have to take some serious non-Perfect Prosecutor-buying action.
