Just because it sold well doesn't mean its the most popular either. I have heard more people criticize the game and call it the low point in the Ace Attorney series.

I think maybe western views on the game differ from those in Japan? There are 248 reviews of GS5 on the iTunes App Store. A large proportion of those reviews ask why GS4 hasn't been released.

I can't speak for Japan, but it seems natural they would ask where is GS4 after getting GS123+5, but here Apollo Justice is seen as a very low point by many western fans. I personally think it is the worst Ace Attorney game (Not saying its bad, but I just can't enjoy it as I enjoy the rest)

Was GS4 better received in Japan?

The sales went well, but I know nothing about opinions. I think it wasn't all that well-received, since they skipped it.

It sold the best in Japan with 640k units sold, however I don't know what the critical reception for the game was compared to the GS123 and GK1

Shortly after GS5 was released in Japan, I remember looking up the customer ratings for every game in the series on the Japanese Amazon website, and GS4 did have the lowest rating.

Unfortunately, that is almost never the case. The iOS market is so over-saturated that an app's success becomes sort of a gamble. There's also the fact that the majority of iOS consumers tend to prefer short-and-sweet games, rather than something long and story-heavy such as Ace Attorney.

There could also be the possibility that the typical Ipad owner could be different than the typical 3DS owner. If the typical Ipad owner is the type that is less likely to buy that game it could very well be the case that that the 3DS (with a lower userbase) could see more copies. That may not be the case but it's not necessarily true that a larger user base automatically equals more sales.

why stick it to just ipad owners? I thought it's going to be a universal game compatible with both iPhones/Ipads (with their respective approopiate models that can run the game at least)?

I did as well, but I thought both GS4 and GS5 were quite low, since a lot of people seemed to complain about the way too linear investigation style.

I think GS5 has 3.5/5 or something in user-rating.

Link: https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/phoenix ... 62024?mt=8 I think it's only available in the NZ store at the moment? It's pretty common for apps to be released there first as a test market release.

Edit: oh wait, someone tweeted to the CR account that the game's also available in the German store. Guess a worldwide release? Strange, I couldn't find the game when I searched for it through the (browser version of the) (probably US) App Store.

Edit: And after asking through the CR twitter account, I got these prices:

Cases 2-5 bundle: €13.99 / $18.99 AUD / "15 bucks" ($14.99 US?)
Separate cases 2-5: €4.49 / $6.49 AUD / "5 bucks" ($4.99 US?)
Turnabout Reclaimed: €4.49 / / $6.49 AUD
Costume Set: €0.89 / $1.29 AUD.

It's available here in Canada. Let me share some screenshots from my iPad Mini.

Spoiler: Screens

The cutscenes are a lot more colourful and there doesn't seem to be any loss of frames with the characters, unlike the HD Trilogy. Animations are just as smooth as they were on the 3DS.

Indeed, both GS4 and GS5 have the lowest ratings in the series; GS4 is just a little below GS5. So if they don't re-release GS4, it's not necessarily because of critical reception.

I don't have an ipad but I'd like to know if I can recommend this to a friend. Can someone check if it's in the EU or UK app store.

Guh, the bad kerning and weird cutting off in the font still exists in this version... and the cutting off thing is inconsistent this time. I can't believe that nobody realized that, and it looks even worse now at higher resolution.

I guess everything else looks good though. Would be nice if some parts of the models were upgraded even further (for example, Athena's cuff links have texture artifacts on them), but that's minor. Can't wait for full-size GIFs of some animations that were impossible to capture without the text box in front of it before!

Some of you savvy Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney fans will have noticed that the fifth main Ace Attorney installment, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies, has gone live on the Japanese iOS app store. What the?! That game’s on iOS in Japan?!

Well never fear! That app is headed for western shores (North America and Europe) very soon, complete with all the thrills, spills, mood matrices, and—oOOoo—HD resolution! I can’t give an exact release date right now, but rest assured it will be quite soon, so for now let’s just enjoy this fleeting moment in time where we know something great is on the way. Take that!

Except it is not in HD.

I was looking through hoso_boso's blog, and I'm surprised at how many spelling and kanji errors there were that got fixed in GS5! I'd say it rivals the errors in the English release!

They're actually worse. I couldn't understand what they were talking about sometimes, and I made sure to check with a dictionary each time, but it didn't really help. Thankfully, most of the errors are simply overlooks with minor testimony and pronunciation inconsistencies that don't detract from the actual dialogue.

On the other hand, this bit is pretty funny out of context. It's from the recess after Apollo returns to court in 5-5.

Quote:

ココネ
オドロキ先輩は、先輩の鏡です！
殴ったりなんかできませんよ！

Instead of 鑑 for "discerning judgment", Athena uses 鏡 for "mirror". I simply took that as her pointing out how shiny his forehead was, even if it seemed a little strange. Well, you know what we say: there are three things that stand out about Apollo: his horns, his wide forehead, and his Perceiving abilities... and his red suit. Four things.

For some reason, it was not corrected in the iOS version, and I think my theory of his shiny forehead was onto something.

I like this one in particular.

Close to the end of the 2nd day trial in 5-2, while L'Belle was stating that Mayor Tenma couldn't explain the truth behind Tenma Taro, the mayor appears in one scene. At this time, he was supposed to be acting as Tenma Taro, so the spell tag on his head should be gone, but it was still there in the 3DS version. It was corrected in the iOS version, but it was first corrected in the English release.

Not that it helps the English version's mess of typos, but while there were some new bugs in it, others were fixed.

鑑 means 'example', 'role model'.

It's also the same kanji used in 鑑定、鑑識, and that's from where I referred. Either way works; her point was that he should follow his own advice. ~~Of course, she could have intended to mean his shiny forehead, and there would be no question to it.~~

So would it be safe to assume this is the definitive version of the game? I was waiting until I finished replaying AA1-4 before getting 5 and I'm finally ready to play it. If the 3d and extra screen really don't add anything to the experience, I'll def grab this version (since it also doesn't look as shoddy as the AAHD port)

Girlfriend spotted this the other day and was like "Ah well it's got all those games from before"

*steps up to the plate*

Not to fear the iOS version of the others is here!

So hopefully she'll enjoy them. Did my civic duty as a fan I suppose. Also of note: by releasing this they might draw attention to the older games too.

Staring with DD is gonna leave people wondering who all these characters are and how they tie into the overall story, though. Better to start with the first game and work the way up to DD.

I'm not sure where to ask this, so please move it to the right thread if this isn't the place.

Is Turnabout Deduction available with the Japanese release of the iOS or must it be bought separately? Is it even available on iOS? And what of those DL costumes? Is Nick's sweater unlocked through that quiz or is it unlocked via the DLC case like in the English release? Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer.

Going by the official Japanese site for iOS GS5, yes, Turnabout Deduction Quiz is available as DLC (300Y) and the costume pack only mentions Phoenix' old suit, so I assume the sweater is part of the Quiz DLC, _if_ it's actually included in the game.
