It has been a few glorious years since I became a hardcore AA fan.  I've played through all of the previous games and am on the verge of beating AA: Apollo Justice.  I am lead to believe and I'd like to think that Phoenix Wright will earn his badge again at the end of this fourth chapter, if not in the future.  Point is, I've taken a liking to this spiky haired Apollo Justice as well.  Where does that leave the future of Ace Attorney?  Who will lead the defense in court?  Really, it's simple.

The various Ace Attorney games have brought new elements in gameplay, as well as a character line-up that you just can't help but fall in love with.  How do you improve upon a series that has such a solid foundation?  You build upon the existing one and create a gaming experience unlike ever before.

It would be amazing to see Phoenix and Apollo in the future Ace Attorney games.  Why as attorneys for the Wright & Co. Law Offices, you can alternate between Apollo and Phoenix between cases within the game.  Apollo could take the lead in the first case, Phoenix will take the second case.  Etc.

But an even bigger twist that will also let you play as other favorite characters would be for Capcom to also let you play as.... wait for it... the prosecution.  Why not?  You can use all the same level of passion and get a guilty verdict on someone who very well deserves it. 

We've played as defense attorneys, sticking up for the innocent and in one case getting a guilty verdict for the client who deserved one.  Why not let us play as Miles Edgeworth, Franziska Von Karma, or even Klavier Gavin? Playing as a prosecutor for a case or two would be just as thrilling as it is to play as a defense attorney. Imagine a murder case where an innocent person is killed, imagine the passion you'd have to get that killer a guilty verdict.

I think it would let us as AA fans experience the series to the fullest this way and at the same time stay true to the roots of such an incredible series.  It's worth a try I believe, and I hope that this is where the future of Ace Attorney takes us.

And if you sat there and read all of this, you have my respect and gratitude. :)

cool. i haven't played an AA game yet. but this has encouraged me to give it a try.

How about a spin off staring Edgeworth and Gumshoe where you investigate crime scenes and have cameos by characters like Oldbag, Lotta, Ema, Bellboy, Cody, and others.

... oh wait.
