I didn't enjoy this, didn't really have anything of substance at all. Apr 26, Nicolo rated it did not like it Shelves: summer- readingmanga. This was Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney disappointing read. It wasn't what I was expected. I got this book after hearing of high praise for the original video game. If the main character made it to the line-up for what is currently the best fighting game, the latest installment of Marvel Vs. Capcom, he must be popular and well-liked enough to merit the inclusion. I actually wanted to see a lot of courtroom action and suffice Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney say Volume 1 didn't get any. It's a collection of one-shot stories from various artists that barely have This was a disappointing read. It's a collection of one-shot stories from various artists that barely have a plot. Granted, my experience would have different had I played the game, and I would have been in on the references and other supporting character quirks that would have enhanced my enjoyment of the overall story of the game. But I didn't and thus the sad rating this Volume 1 got from me. I Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney finish manga in one sitting, but this one, and not because it is a double sized collection, it was a pain to read, the stories too inane even for a video game tie-in manga. Only the first two stories were tolerable, because it actually narrated Phoenix Wright's motivation as a character and the second because he got to demonstrate his talent for defending his clients by casting reasonable doubt on what could have been an open and shut case. The book went downhill from there. I would not recommend this book Volume 1 you have played the game or is just a plain manga glutton. View all 3 Volume 1. Sep 28, Diana Welsch rated it really liked it Recommends it for: nerds like me. Shelves: graphic-novels. OK, OK. I am a nerd. I am aware of this fact. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney I read this in an afternoon and really enjoyed it. It is a fan-made doujin that has been put out by Capcom, comprised of many short stories in the manga style. This means that the art style varies from story to story. Some are serious, some are funny; the characters' looks and tone may change radically from one story to the next. This does not bother me at all, Volume 1 fact, I think the book is much richer for the variety. This manga is definitely for f OK, OK. This manga is definitely for fans only. People who haven't played the games would probably not understand much of it at all. Edgeworth drives a rickshaw? Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney can pour coffee out of his mask? A dog slobbers on the judge's shiny bald head? These things are all funny if you are a nerd like me, but it would leave most people scratching their heads. The best one, in my opinion, is the one where Phoenix and Maya are trying to simulate a waterfall so Maya can channel Mia to help with a case. He dumps a bucket of water on her from a ladder er, a stepladdersprays her with a power washer, but nothing seems to work. Marvin Grossberg notices them at their futile pursuits and wants to help. His disastrous solution involves dumping thousands of gallons of water from one of those airplanes that is used to fight forest fires. Why he thought that was a good idea, I will never know, but it makes for a hilarious comic Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Pick up this book if you are a nerd like me. Oct 10, Rishteen rated it it was ok. I thought it was just another Phoenix Wright manga spin-off or something. Apr 19, Arielle rated it really liked it. I have recently started playing Ace Attorney, and I got a bit obsessed with it. I finished the first game only a few weeks ago. So when I saw this book at my Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney used book store, I had to have it. I'll be honest, there were a few references that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney over my head, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney this book was fun. None of it is really cannon, and all of it was silly and fun. It felt fan made, but not necessarily in a bad way. More in the "people who love this game as much as me had fun ideas and turned them into Volume 1 ma I have recently started playing Ace Attorney, and I got a bit obsessed with it. Worth reading, and very few spoilers, though I found that having knowledge of both the first and part of the second game helped. It would probably help more to have finished all three games. But no matter what, it was a fun experience. Oct 05, Francine rated it liked it Shelves: books-i-own My favourite story by far was "Turnabout Illusions". A lot of the other stories were pretty forgettable, though it was fun to see all the characters in different art styles. Oh well. Aug 09, John Michael rated it it was ok. For every one good story I read in this collection, there were three complete Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney stories. The goods ones are worth reading but they just don't make up for the bad ones enough. Mar 22, Mike rated it liked it Shelves: manga. A few stories set in the Ace Attorney universe. Nothing to stand out, but a good read if you're a fan of the games. Sep 30, Klemen rated it did not like it. I bought this as a collector's piece, so my expectations were tame, but this blew em all away. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Volume 1 by Kenji Kuroda, Kazuo Maekawa, Paperback | Barnes & Noble® These stories come across as a collection of doujinshi submissions, with all the writing and drawing quality which that implies. A lot of the subject matter is of a very generic nature, the authors seem to have all attended the same workshop on how to create a quirky story out of any cast or setting an author might be commissioned to work with. There are at least two whole stories where a female coworker picks up a cat off the street and begs Wright to let her keep it! In the rare event Volume 1 a trial does take place Volume 1 the story, it is glossed over Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney a few panels and the outcome is revealed in the final text blurb of the chapter. However, the rest run the gamut of typical amateur styles and clumsy aesthetics. If you absolutely love the game, then you will probably get a kick out of seeing the cast involved in a slew of silly outside situations. When the stories are as generic and bland as they are here, the multiple-short story format only serves to ensure that the narrative never goes anywhere. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney, Vol Volume 1. Reviews Hell Girl — Volume 4. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney, Vol 1 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney was written by Kenji Kuroda and illustrated by Kazuo Maekawa and ran for a total of five volumes, with the first volume being originally published in Japan on April 6, Kodansha comics released an English translation of the first volume in and has currently released all five volumes in the United States. Unlike the Del Ray mangathe Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Comics manga is written and illustrated by one team and told more in the style of the games; an investigation of a crime followed by a trial. Unlike the games, however, there is only one investigation and one trial for each case. Phoenix Wright has to once again defend his friend Larry Butz in a murder trial. Wright is invited to the home of a rich computer company president and asked to defend the man in court as he has been accused of killing an employee. Wright investigates the computer company president's case, but the story takes a twist when the mysterious "Spider Man" appears.

Journal for Computer Game Culture. 2009; 3 (2), p. 135-147 Generations and Game Localization: An Interview with Alexander O. Smith, Steven Anderson and Matthew Alt DARSHANA JAYEMANNE The interplay between the Japanese and Western game industries has been one of the most fruitful mass cultural exchanges of the past few decades. The circulation of gaming products between the two contexts has seen both brilliant successes and dismal failures, but also more than a few unlikely felicities. Shigeru Miyamoto, in his search for an English appellation for Mario’s disgruntled simian antagonist, hit upon the now iconic Donkey Kong. Many gamers will remember wondering how they could set up a match against Shen Long, trembling at the stark realisation that “Someone set us up the bomb,” and taking comfort in Barry Burton’s affirmation of Jill Valentine’s prowess in Resident Evil (Capcom 1997): “Jill, here's a lockpick. It might be handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you.” Though his syntactical choices may lead one to certain uncharitable conclusions about Barry, his foresight and canny allocation of limited team resources was in fact indispensable to his colleague’s survival into the game’s sequels. By the time of the GameCube remake (Capcom 2002), Barry had improved his communication skills considerably. While diegetically this may be attributed to robust training policy reform at the Racoon City Police Department, in an extra-diegetic sense can be seen as indicative of broader trends in localisation standards.

  • Found in Translation: Evolving Approaches for the Localization of Japanese Video Games
    arts Article Found in Translation: Evolving Approaches for the Localization of Japanese Video Games Carme Mangiron Department of Translation, Interpreting and East Asian Studies, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] Abstract: Japanese video games have entertained players around the world and played an important role in the video game industry since its origins. In order to export Japanese games overseas, they need to be localized, i.e., they need to be technically, linguistically, and culturally adapted for the territories where they will be sold. This article hopes to shed light onto the current localization practices for Japanese games, their reception in North America, and how users’ feedback can con- tribute to fine-tuning localization strategies. After briefly defining what game localization entails, an overview of the localization practices followed by Japanese developers and publishers is provided. Next, the paper presents three brief case studies of the strategies applied to the localization into English of three renowned Japanese video game sagas set in Japan: Persona (1996–present), Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (2005–present), and Yakuza (2005–present). The objective of the paper is to analyze how localization practices for these series have evolved over time by looking at industry perspectives on localization, as well as the target market expectations, in order to examine how the dialogue between industry and consumers occurs. Special attention is given to how players’ feedback impacted on localization practices. A descriptive, participant-oriented, and documentary approach was used to collect information from specialized websites, blogs, and forums regarding localization strategies and the reception of the localized English versions.

The character has also appeared in filmanime and manga adaptations of the series, a Japanese series of musicals and stage playsand crossover video Phoenix Wright: v. 1 such as Professor Layton vs. Capcom 3. The idea of a lawyer was conceived when director Shu Takumi was searching for ideas for a game in which the player could discover lies or contradictions in statements. This phrase is often used in Japan to express attentiveness to the subject at hand. Takumi chose the phrase to highlight Wright's inexperience; even though his name reads "I see", he may not in fact understand what is happening, something which may also be true of people using the phrase. It is also commonly used in mystery novels when investigating, a core gameplay concept of the series. In English versions, Wright's name was localized to present a similar meaning to English-speaking audiences. His first name is also a mythical reference: to the phoenixknown for "rising from the ashes", an allusion to his almost impossible comebacks, or "turnabouts", during trials. This is referenced in the first game, in which the fifth case is titled "Rise from the Ashes". His Phoenix Wright: v.
