<p>Following the fantastic Dual Destinies, Capcom has decided to do something a little different with the next entry in the Phoenix Wright series. Called Dai Gyakuten Saiban, this spin off features an ancestor of the famous lawyer who lived in Japan&#8217;s Meiji era. The game&#8217;s TGS trailer reveals that the Ace Attorney prequel involves the main characters travelling the world and that at least part of the game will be set in the UK.</p>
<p>If that wasn&#8217;t weird enough, the game also features the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and his companion Watson. Unlike in the original stories, the Watson of the Phoenix Wright universe isn&#8217;t an army doctor but an 8 year old girl. This is all shown in the game&#8217;s first trailer which can be seen above. The video contains plenty of fan service including a character who looks suspiciously similar to Winston Payne from previous games.</p>
<p>The Ace Attorney prequel is a 3DS exclusive but so far no western release has been confirmed. Capcom will be holding a live showing of the game at 12:15 JST on Saturday so expect more details then. You&#8217;ll be able to watch the show live on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntaBZ9bxhM0">Youtube</a>.</p>
