...but I doubt there's going to be much complaint about a new Ace Attorney game. Especially one starring Phoenix's occasional rival, Miles Edgeworth.
**On a side note, I have a personal objection with the fact the site was frozen and I was sitting on this update for over a week, sorry if this is old news to some people.**
Taking place after the events of Gyakuten Saiban 3 (or Trials and Tribulations in the the US and, eventually, Europe), Gyakuten Kenji (Turnabout Prosecutor) will see Edgeworth and Detective Dick Gumshoe investigating crime scenes, searching for clues and working to argue the case in court. Makes a nice change to see the prosecutors getting a few people put away for once.
The major difference gameplay-wise is a shift to a more point-and-click interface, with both Edgeowrth and Gumshoe on screen at the same time. Capcom are also promising new investigation techniques and ways to reach the final conclusion.
As yet, there has been no confirmation of a US or European release date, but it's pretty much a given that there will be one. Previous Japanese releases of Gyakuten Saiban have also included an English translation, so importers should keep an eye out for a similar feature with Gyakuten Kenji.
In the meantime, check out these scans from esteemed Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu showing how the game is looking so far (thanks to ace-attorney.net and whoever they got the scans from). Click on the pics for a bigger scan.
On a side note, aren't Japanese gaming magazines great? Not only do they have a load of screenshots, but there's space for concept art and sprite animation sheets as well! Take that, you po-faced gits at Edge.
