<p>The latest news on our favorite Ace Attorney may be pointing to quite a different court room for quite a different Wright. Reports have it that series creator Shu Takumi is hard at work with another 3DS Phoenix Wright title thanks to leaked screenshots of Famitsu magazine&#8217;s most recent issue covering the upcoming game.</p>
<p>Back in February, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata had disclosed in a Japan exclusive Nintendo Direct that a then-unrevealed Ace Attorney project was well underway. It seems that clue has now come to fruition.</p>
<p>Translations of the screenshots seem to claim the game will be set in Japan&#8217;s turbulent <strong>Meiji era</strong> (Sept. 1868 through July 1912) and star one of Phoenix Wright&#8217;s descendants, <strong>Naruhodou Ryuunosuke</strong> (pictured below). The young man is shown carrying a sword in traditional Japanese garb of the era and sporting decidedly mellow hair for a future ace attorney. He is described as having a strong sense of justice and just a bit brash when it comes to diving into danger.</p>
<p>The game&#8217;s full title is <em>Dai Gyakuten Saiban </em>— <em>Naruhodou Ryuunosuke no Bouken</em>, roughly translating to <em><strong>Grand Turnabout Trial — The Adventures of Naruhodou Ryuunosuke</strong></em><strong> </strong>according to reports.</p>
<p>Takumi has long been attached to his series of creation, working on it since 2001&#8217;s original Nintendo DS title, <em><strong>Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney</strong></em>. He was not involved with <em><strong>Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies</strong></em>, however, due to his commitment to working on the crossover title <em><strong>Professor Layton vs. </strong><strong>Ace</strong><strong> Attorney</strong></em>, <a href="https://bagogames.com/professor-layton-vs-phoenix-wright-uk-release/">now out in the UK</a>.</p>
