I finally dusted off the 3ds I bought for Megaman Legends 3 and marathoned 5, 6 and Layton. Thoughts:

5: Very good! Didn't expect to like the new protagonist but I really warmed up to her quickly.
6: There's a good game in here with interesting new ideas, too bad the new prosecutor ruins it.
Layton: far and above my favourite. I hope they do another one some day.

Not quite. Edgeworth mentions in SoJ that the mysterious person who leaked his travel plans has a salary review coming up soon

What?? When?? I don't remember this at all I would've thought I'd have caught that.

Early in the last case, right after they all arrive in khura'in. It's just a single throwaway line, I only remember because I played it a couple of weeks ago.

This thread also got me to pick up the ace attorney trilogy on switch, and I sped through the first four cases yesterday afternoon.

That's still the best game in the series, for sure. Everybody has such a satisfying character arc, especially Edgeworth. It really underlined just how annoying Sahdmadhi is. He never grows, never changes, he's just the same exact smug rear end in a top hat right up until he suddenly isn't

Right, that was it. I guess the only way to see it is to present every piece of evidence to every NPC regardless of relevance

The redrawn sprites look so bad because they ignored line weights. It looks like somebody enlarged the sprite sheet in Photoshop, smoothed out the colored pixels, and traced over the lines with the pencil tool. No extra details, nothing outside of where the lines were in the original

He didn't do it on an off chance, he knew 100% that Phoenix would do it because he's the one who planted the idea in his head

The man had gears working within gears at all times. If it weren't for five different increasingly unlikely random events building on each other he'd still be a free man.

2-4 is up there for me. Doesn't completely redeem the rest of the game, but it's a satisfying conclusion to the Franziska story and the gimmick of defending a client you know is guilty really makes it interesting

I do like that you run into Klavier just, like, out in the world, and talk about things unrelated to the case. Franziska never says anything other than "I will destroy you Mr. Phoenix Wright" and I didn't even know Edgeworth had a talk sprite until case 4.

Playing through case 3-3 in the HD remake right now, and the translators must have had a hell of a time trying to write around English not having gendered first-person pronouns.

When I first played this game as a kid I thought Armstrong's dialogue was just badly written. Now that I can see what they were up against, I definitely couldn't have done any better.

It's not a lot of games that give you a concrete single thing to point at and say "There, that's the low point of the series" but that exact line of questioning is it. Nine and a half games of content to go after that one, and it's all better than that one single cross-examination
