Gyakuten Kenji (逆転検事? lit. "Turnabout Prosecutor") is an adventure video game to be released for the Nintendo DS handheld video game console by Capcom in Japan. It is a spin-off of the Ace Attorney video game series. The game was developed under the name "NEW Gyakuten NOT Saiban", reflecting that while it would involve similar characters, the gameplay would be different from the other games in the Ace Attorney series.[1] Plans on whether or not to release the game outside of Japan have not yet been announced.
Capcom has confirmed the starring characters to be Miles Edgeworth and Dick Gumshoe[2] The game is said, according to Capcom, to take place near the time of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations, and will contain other characters from the series.[2] A new female character also appears in the trailer, although her name is not known.[3][4] The gameplay revealed in the video shows that the game, unlike the courtroom dramas of the other Gyakuten Saiban games, is similar to "point and click" adventure games, requiring the player to direct Edgeworth around crime scenes to collect evidence.[5] The developers have stated that they have taken care to capture the animations correctly, for example making sure that Edgeworth's running animations were "graceful, while exerting effort".[5]
Hints of the game's reveal were provided by the official developer's blog on March 5, 2008, in which a special orchestra concert for the music of the Gyakuten Saiban series held in Japan on April 20, 2008 would also have an announcement of the future of the series.[6][7] During the concert, the developers revealed the game and its trailer and additional artwork from the game.
Unlike the previous Gyakuten Saiban/Ace Attorney games, this game will not be directed by Shu Takumi,[2] but instead by Tsuyoshi Yamazaki[5] As of mid-April 2008, Capcom announced the game was approximately 40% complete.[2]
