Yup, for the 3DS. I plyed an hour yesterday, and my hand started to hurt. That's not ok, Nintendo. Not ok. Usually, they have great controls, but I just do NOT like using the A button for all my major actions. I'd much rather prefer to use the X button

review F Zero GX.

But I HAVE the XL! That's the problem. My right hand hurt after playing an hour of this game, unlike OoT, which I can play without any hand problems... But I still don't think that A should be the most used button on a Nintendo controler, I much rather prefer X,...

No, not in any Nintendo game that I know of. The best control scheme I've seen by Nintendo is for their platformers, everything else isn't as good

The fourth case of JFA makes the game worth playing on its own. Worst first case in the series though and I do agree it's the low point of the series. I blame Von Karma being a boring prosecutor.

Haven't gotten to Investigations yet but that pursuit theme is delicious.

Whaaaaaat. Franziska is the worst prosecutor in the series. Agree the circus case did not impress and the second case is very good.

Fourth case is the god, what'chu talkin bout Rol. It's the only case you can lose. In the whole series. That final moment of 'pick one witness and one piece of evidence and pray' hasn't been topped.

So this is what one of your serious threads look like. Hmmm.

Stupid arguments are par for the course in Ace Attorney because the Judge is a certifiable idiot. You're the first person I've known who played the series and didn't like that case!

I'm not referring to the proper ending being a "loss." I mean that with every other case, when you lose you get a guilty verdict and go back to your last save (or the last 'checkpoint' in earlier games). But this case has an actual lose condition that makes sense in context (unlike a lot of other cases where the prosecutor or judge just randomly says if you screw up you'll get the maximum penalty, uncomfortably referring directly to the in-game health bar). The story continues after the loss just to rub it in. And again because this is starting to sound confusing even to me, the loss and lose condition I'm talking about is when you get the last answer wrong and get a not-guilty verdict.

I don't see what there is to like about Franziska as a character. She's mad about her dad being convicted and that's it. She has a whip and she constantly abuses Gumshoe, which Edgeworth already had down. Even the writers knew Von Karma was a bore as she only sticks around for two cases before being replaced by Edgeworth, a much better character who has an actual relationship with the protagonist.

I picked up a Layton game at random quite a while ago. It was Miracle Mask. I guess from the review that it was a pretty good one to get.
