New details and release date for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
The next entry in Capcom’s popular courtroom adventure series will be released in North America on February 12, according to a corporate press release. Those of you with significant others may want to wait until after Valentines day to pick up this title, since if the other games in the series are any indiciation, this one will be hard to put down. Apollo Justice will explore the “trials and tribulations” of a new set of characters in the Phoenix Wright universe, while retaining some of the basic gameplay conventions from the earlier titles. New this time will be the “crime re-creation mode”, which will allow players to gain new sources of evidence by re-creating the scene of a crime. A handful of colorful new allies and adversaries also populate this original story.
If you have not yet experienced the phenomenon that is Pheonix Wright, you will soon be able to play a short online demo of Apollo Justice to get a flavor for the gameplay. The flash game is not yet available, but Capcom promises that it will be up on the official community website later this month.

I can’t wait for this. Apollo and Brawl on the same week can’t be good for sleep, school, work, relationships…
…but I’ll be a happy man, albeit sleepy, dirty and weak
