Ace Attorney and other VN/Adventure Games

Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma released earlier this week.

The 3DS and Vita versions released on June 28 (Tuesday) in US, while the PC release was on June 30 (Thursday).

Amazon had complications with supplying the game, so the people who preordered the limited edition a year ago haven't received it yet.

I chose to buy elsewhere so that I wouldn't have to wait forever and probably get spoiled by the Internet. I just finished the game today. It's pretty good.

Yep. Still waiting on mine. But it's fine.

I can wait.

I like the part where it has "The United States" emphasized in a large font

It looks like your hopes have been fulfilled: https://twitter.com/VaguelyHorrible/status/749706277517950976

At Anime Expo, Aksys announced that localized title "Chase: Cold Case Investigations" will see a western release in Fall 2016.

Additionally, they announced that Zero Escape 999 will be ported soon to "other platforms", without clarifying which ones. About a month ago, Spike Chunsoft teased a Steam release, but this port will probably be to other platforms too. I'd say Vita and 3DS are pretty likely, but it could also be iOS or Android.

999 was already ported to ios I think.

But iirc they took out all puzzles, so it's just a straight visual novel.

Maybe they'll do a complete port.

The announcement video pretty much confirms that these new ports are complete with gameplay.

[TooB]

Oh good.

Not just 999, apparently Virtue's Last Reward is getting more ports too.

Again, without details of which platforms, though I'm sure at least Steam is one.

This is probably my first time ever recommending a mobile game, but I quite like the Layton spinoff Mystery Room.

Rather than being about solving puzzles, it's about solving murders. It's a bit like Ace Attorney (albeit simplified) in that you find clues in the crime scene and it's filled with a lot of dialog between the main character (Lucy), the professor (Alfendi Layton), and the suspects of each case.

It doesn't really feel like a mobile game because it doesn't have any of the usual silliness that's rampant on this platform. They monetized it similarly to Capcom's Ace Attorney ports: the beginning of the game (2 cases) is free and once you finish those you can pay $5 to unlock the rest of the game (5 more cases). All of the cases are fairly short; it took me 9 hours to finish the whole game.

On another note, Level-5 announced a new proper Layton game about a week ago: Lady Layton: Millionaire Ariadone’s Conspiracy. Unlike previous Layton games, it's releasing on not only 3DS but also Android and iOS. Japan gets it Spring 2017, English-speakers get it later in 2017.

Danganronpa V3 got a new trailer at today's Sony conference

Japanese release date is in January 2017. US release plans TBA, but it will probably be mid-to-late 2017.

This trailer shows the character designs for all the students and new monokumas. The new protagonist is the blonde-haired girl with an ahoge, not the cyborg guy like people previously expected.
