Court Records wrote:As previously announced/leaked, AA6 takes place in a foreign country which Phoenix visits "for a certain goal." While there, the old Wright luck kicks in and he finds himself wrapped up in a certain case when his tour guide is arrested. Phoenix goes to see the trial, but when he sees there's no defense attorney and the judge is relying on things like an "oracle of spirits" (insert your own Zelda joke here) to hand down a guilty verdict immediately, Phoenix objects and takes the defense's bench.

Character-wise, that tour guide's name is Bokuto Tsuani (boku to tsua- ni -> "On a tour with me"), a young energetic monk-in-training. Once he gets on the topic of tours, he can't stop, but that's not much use for him in the trial. Also appearing is the mysterious, strong-willed woman in the art above; the magazine states she is neither a witness nor a prosecutor nor a judge, but rather a "fourth role" in the courtroom and this game's "key person", like Athena in AA5. (To be very clear: it does not say she's Phoenix's partner, just reuses the "key person" term.)

As for trials themselves, as previously shown, the courtroom has a large “water mirror” which plays a part in a new system they’re keeping under wraps. The magazine also seems to suggest there may be other small changes from the usual courtroom antics. This new system will be playable at TGS 2015. What's more, during the interview Yamazaki explains that in this country, there are prosecutors, but no defense attorneys - the court system relies on a 'certain thing' to work without them.

In the interview, the developers discuss how the game's theme is a "courtroom revolution" and how they felt Phoenix was in a position where he didn't really have anyone who could match up to him in Japan, so that was part of the reason they moved him into the wider world. They also hope that trials in a court where the usual "rules" don't play will help give a sense of urgency to the game that they couldn't get in just a plain Japanese trial.

With regards to the game overall, the developers heard a lot of complaints that AA5 was too easy due to the many hints characters gave, so they're aiming to let the player enable/disable hints on their own, and to avoid direct clues like in AA5. And while development's still fairly early on, they hope to make a game to surpass the previous entries, and to "betray the player's expectations - in a good way!"

And that's about it! We'll see more at TGS.

Shack News wrote:The next numbered entry to the popular Ace Attorney series will feature a new game system that enables quicker gameplay, although additional details are scarce at the moment of this reveal.

Ace Attorney 6 will be playable at this year’s Tokyo Game Show with Capcom giving those who demo the game a collection of stickers. Capcom will also be hosting stage events during TGS and will show a “special court video.”

Famitsu will publish an interview with members of the development team and we expect to learn more about the new characters and the game’s setting.

Capcom has confirmed with Shacknews Ace Attorney 6 will be receiving a western release. The company says, "Ace Attorney 6 (working title) will be coming to the west. We’ll have more information on the Western release soon."

Update: We're learning more information regarding Ace Attorney 6. Siliconera translated scans of the Famitsu magazine and reveals the game will take place in a mysterious country outside of Japan, which is a first time for the main-numbered series. While he's traveling outside of the country, he finds himself involved in a case in an area where the people have a belief in the supernatural.

The courtrooms in the game will use some kind of "Water Mirror" that's located on the ground, which will be used as part of its gameplay. The upper portion of the screen will have images and keywords on the water, while the lower portion has parts of the testimony and an option to present.

This will be a huge shame if it doesn't get localised. I know some people on here thought highly of Edgeworth 2.

Ace Attorney doesn't often get announcements of announcements, but here we are: Capcom has announced a special live broadcast for AA6 on March 6th in collaboration with Ameba Fresh!

The broadcast will reveal the game's release date, as well as promises "that" unannounced character will be shown off.

Hosting are two of Capcom TV's MCs, as well as special guest Rio Uchida. The broadcast will begin at 13:00 JST on March 6th and run for two hours; you can view the channel here. It goes without saying that we'll be covering the broadcast live on Twitter and have a summary news post after the fact! (And if possible, we'll be simulcasting on CyTube so everyone can watch and chat together.)

In addition, if enough tweets with the hashtag "#逆転裁判6応援" are made by March 16th, goodies will be unlocked on the main site; while the details will be announced on the March 6th broadcast, it looks like they might be (this is speculation) icons for 6,000 tweets, phone wallpapers for 12,000 tweets, and going by the wording on the last one, the Special Court video for 18,000 tweets.
