Phoenix Wright movie looks about right

igiari The live action Phoenix Wright (Gyakuten Saiban) movie gets a real trailer and I stand by my claim that it looks like they nailed it.

The intensity of the court battles looks to be brought to life the right way, with powerful shouting, finger pointing, and crazy hair styles. Evidence being presented via hologram screens is a very nice touch. If you want a videogame-to-liveactionmovie done right, get a director who knows and loves the source material enough to do it justice. Takashi Miike, do not disappoint me.

I do have one gripe though. Why does Maya look so old?

First look at the Phoenix Wright movie

PW IRL Earlier this year I had heard about a live action Phoenix Wright movie being made. That was enough news for me and I have then since not followed up on any news about it as I simply await it's release and hopefully a subtitled version comes out shortly after.

Recently an image of the actor who would be playing Wright (or Naruhodo Ryuichi in Japan) has surfaced on the net complete with the super gel-ed hair and my friends who have seen it have been telling me that the game is getting a live action movie (which I already knew). But what's better than a static image? Some video footage of course and IGN has dug up just that.

To be honest back when I first heard about this I wished that they would've just made it an OVA instead and from what I've seen in the video, some characters just... don't look right. I mean Maya looks out right nasty in this. Complaints aside I will still watch this movie and will probably love it. The virtual screens that appear to show evidence suits the style as it looks to bring some of the intense back and forth arguments in the Phoenix Wright court into the live action movie world.

Oh, and the voices of the actors who play Wright, Edgeworth, and Von Karma nail it. IGIARI! I mean~ OBJECTION!

 

 

UMvC3 laywerin in style

take that Aside from his signature blue suit, Wright boasts a series of alternate colors as is the style of the Capcom vs. games with each set paying tribute to certain games and characters from Capcom's library.

 

The first set being the original look that Phoenix Wright is known for. The blazing blue suit and pants and with Maya donning her original Priestess wear.

For every great defense attorney there is also a great prosecutor. The 2nd color scheme for Wright pays tribute to his childhood friend and rival, Miles Edgeworth. The character is very well represented with this color scheme, even down to that silver highlights on Wright's hair. Maya gets a color change too. Her colors now represent that of her deceased sister who is also Phoenix's mentor, Mia Fey. Missile's color for this set is style after Amaterasu's 2P color design.

Miles Edgeworth

 

In the 3rd set, Wright gives a nod to everyone's favorite bumbling detective, Dick Gumshoe. Strangely enough, Wright's color seems to match Gumshoe's pants more than his signature green trenchcoat but hey, Gumshoes' coat was originally brown so I guess green isn't really his real color. Maya's color reflects another strong prosecutor, Franziska Von Karma who is another thorn and sometimes ally in Wright's serch for Justice. *Wah-kish!*. Missile gets Ammy's 3P color.

Dick Gumshoe

 

If something smells it's usually the Butz. Wright steals another color scheme from one of his childhood friends. The bright orange top and black pants of Larry Butz is present and accounted for in UMvC3. Maya, bringing sexy back with the colors of the maid costume from when she helped out in Tres Bien in Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations. Missile gets Ammy's 4P "Strawberry" color design. Noticing a pattern with Missile's colors.

Larry Butz

 

Ah, the fragrance of dark coffee. Wright dons on Godot's colors pretty well if you ask me. The green sleeves, the silver hair, black pants, and even a white tie. Very nice. Maya whips out the colors of Edgeworth's new female assistant from the Ace Attorney Investigations series. The colors of the little thief, Kay Faraday. Missile gets a unique alternate color this time by being meant to look like a stone statue.

Armando

 

And finally, the last color sets that made me go "kyaaa!~" with excitement. From Shu Takumi's latest creation. Wright takes on the colors of Sissel, mister "Ghost Trick" himself. The bright red suit, the blonde "Johnny Bravo"-esque hair, right down to the white tie and shoes. I am loving it. Maya takes the colors of my favourite video game ginger. Sissel's female assistant from Ghost Trick too, Lynne. Missile gets a very nice color design in this set. This time it's of Amaterasu's original design, complete with those orange swirls.

The only thing missing is a color scheme for Apollo Justice and Trucy Wright. DLC perhaps?

Thanks to @estimater to the tip.

Impressive Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 trailer

Coming from New York Comic Con,  Capcom released a cool looking trailer to get everybody hyped for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. No new gameplay footage, just a bunch of characters facing off and on pause. Oh and check out who Deadpool is against.

There are still some characters than needs revealing, but Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be out on November 15 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

Phoenix Wright and Nova revealed for UMVC 3

Phoenix Wright revealed Capcom reveals two new characters for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. For Capcom's side we have Phoenix Wright. Yes, we have an attorney joining a fighing game. For the Marvel side, we have Nova from the Nova Force. While I'm not too familiar with Marvel's Nova character, I'm sure everybody is more familiar with Capcom's new addition and damn curious how Phoenix Wright will play in a fighting game. Check the trailers for both characters below.

While Nova looks like he fits well in Marvel vs Capcom 3, Phoenix Wright on the other hand, well lets just say hats off to Capcom in making a non-fighting character a fighting character. Phoenix Wright looking for clues, throwing papers at character's faces and shouting out OBJECTION! An interesting new addition indeed. We'll see if he turns out viable when the game ships on November 15 for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
