I absolutely cannot wait for this game to come out. While I haven’t traditionally been an MMO player, I think this might strike the perfect balance for me. It evokes nostalgia, seems playful and fun, and will feature a more casual gameplay.

The game is due out in 2010, but it can’t arrive soon enough.

The newest chapter, “Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth”, is about to come out, and Gamespot has an exclusive Flash version of the first level of the new game. i definitely recommend you give it a go.

This is the stuff dreams are made of…
