While many films based on games tend to leave their audiences lukewarm (the 1994 Street Fighter movie being a clear exception), the upcoming Phoenix Wright flick is looking very quirky, very Japanese, and very awesome.
Yesterday Bash gave us the first still shot from Japan’s upcoming Phoenix Wright flick. Today, thanks to the sharp eyes of Kotaku tipster KingKellogg the Waffle Haggler, we see the first live action. There’s a lot of Japanese in this, and that goes for the cross-talk as well as the dialogue. One word, however, seems very familiar.
If you still need more insight into the moveset Phoenix Wright will use in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 after we had fighting game legend and Capcom special consultant Seth Killian play for us, then dig on this Assist Me! video featuring the Ace Attorney and Marvel’s Iron Fist.
If watching Seth Killian play with Phoenix Wright in my previous post didn’t communicate how wacky the counsellor is in the crossover fighting game, then take a look at the trailer shown at New York Comic-Con on Saturday.
The biggest applause in the panels that Capcom held for their upcoming fighting games came for the introduction of the blue-suited hero of the Ace Attorney games. During the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 panel, special consultant and fighting game expert Seth Killian talked about how the development team tried to make the unlikely placement of the barrister into a brawling game.
Capcom’s Phoenix Wright and Marvel’s Richard Rider get a massive Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 asset dump, just in time for the New York Comic-Con. Is there a Mega Man surprise in store for fans?
Fans combing over Capcom’s website following the announcement of Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 have unearthed eight new character images that could very well be the rest of the update’s new lineup. Frank West? Iron Fist? Rocket Raccoon!? Yes, please.
Takashi Miike, known for making a lot of cool movies (and some crap ones, too), is directing a big screen version of Capcom’s lawyer game series Ace Attorney.
