Unless my sleepy eyes have deceived me, we appear to not have an Ace Attorney thread. Allow me to fix that.
For those uninitiated, Ace Attorney is a Visual Novel game originally for the Gameboy Advance, and since ported to the DS, 3DS, and IOS(Android soon, I expect). You play Phoenix Wright, the titular Ace Attorney, although he's more of an unlucky but unbending young defense attorney who acts as both detective and lawyer for his clients, who are always on charges of murder.
This is a menu/adventure game; Layton fans will feel mostly at home, Call of Duty? Not so much... The series is best known for it's often complicated and brain-bending cases, but even moreso it's delightfully insane cast and sense of humor. Every case is different, full of new oddballs to interrogate and mysteries to unravel.
The series contains eight games: Ace Attorney 1-3, the classic trilogy, 4, the extremely divisive "midquel," 5, the latest entry, two spinoffs starring Miles Edgeworth and Dick Gumshoe (Ace Attorney Investigations 1 and 2, with 2 being untranslated...), and of course the crossover with Professor Layton in PLvAA.
But then why else would you be here if you didn't know all that?
General suggestion: liberal use of spoiler tags, please.

I suspect that could very well be Ami Fey, although just another Fey would be fine. I just really miss Maya...

That's what I thought at first. But apparently the new girl is called Mikotoba Susato. Ami Fey's Japanese name is Kyoko Ayasato.

"ko" and "sato" in both... a looong shot, but considering the other insane stuff that has happened, both good and bad(COUGHAPOLLOJUSTICECOUGH), it's not impossible... Ah well. I wonder what sort of detective we'll get?
