Hotel Dusk takes place entirely in one day, and I think it was Christmas day, so you can even almost make it thematic!!!

Hotel Dusk was cool. I'd play Last Window but it is fairly expensive on Amazon now.

The DS was a very good system for Japanese adventure games.

I forgot to mention 999 and Virtue's Last Reward. They lean way more on the visual novel side, but they're really good.

999 also loves its gory descriptions. VLR tones that down a lot, fortunately. ZE3 might be toning it back up, though.

999 was only the 11th M-rated game on the Nintendo DS and possibly one of two games on the system where the word "gently caress" is used. I'm assuming they say it in Chinatown Wars.

Godot is a dick, true, but he's the only character who didn't cower before 3-3's antagonist so he's still cool in my book.

And another recommendation for the Cing games. They're very good. All of them. I imported Last Window from the UK and it ended up costing me about twice what a DS game usually costs but I never regretted it.

Godot half-asses his prosecution because he's not trained as a prosecutor. All he knows how to do is intimidate the witness and distract the judge with shiny things - which admittedly are both key strategies used by prosecutors in the series who aren't Klavier.

I wonder if in AA6 along with the likely return of Maya, we'll see Mia again? it wouldn't make thematic sense given the end of AA3 but then again, he will be by himself since Apollo and Athena are back in Japanifornia. maybe a return of the original trio will happen!

I can't believe that needs to be said. There's such a thing as letting a character go when its development is finished. Especially one that is literally dead.

I imported Last Window because I really liked Hotel Dusk.

I imported it two years ago now, and still haven't actually played it. I think it's because I got Ghost Trick as well and sort of forgot about everything else at the time.

Only if we get AAI3, in my opinion. Or if we get an actual flashback game about the previous generation, which would be weird but fine.

I KINDA DOUBT THAT!
If we get a AAI3 I wouldn't mind being a Klavier and Ema adventure because I like Klavier, I think he's a cool guy.

Also because I want to see how they can make a music based system instead of chess that they used for Edgeworth in AAI2 when talking with people

I'd love to see a Mia Fey: Ace Attorney, but Diego goes into a coma after her first trial and the other guy who worked for Grossberg was a douche.

So, uh... not too sure how that game would go. Gregory Edgeworth having a game would be neat, though.
