Rawk's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice Experience

By RAWKHAWK2010 - Enjoy my hawk swan song.

I decided early on in the year that this would be my final article on KoopaTV. I've also chosen to compile this days before Tokyo Game Show 2019 so that it can be published following one of two scenarios: One being the announcement of a new Ace Attorney in which case hey, perfect timing! The other (aka the one which will actually happen) being a Capcom TGS showing that was even more missable than their last, where thereafter I will resign to the fact that the next non-port Ace Attorney will release long after we're all dead. And what's that you say? That I might should stick around at least until after it's confirmed Phoenix Wright won't round off the five Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenger Pack fighters? Well, I don't think that'll be happening. Even when we start getting into the additional (presumably still third-party) DLC fighters who weren't originally promised, it's being made clearer by the day that one's importance to Nintendo's history really, really doesn't matter. If you're more likely to get onto Ultimate's roster just by being an ambassador for a company who had their own console, despite the fact that your name is "Terry Bogard" which the vast majority of Nintendo fans had never heard uttered in their lives, then Ys's Adol Christin (who would represent one of the oldest Action JRPG developers/publishers still in existence today) may have less obstacles to overcome than I originally thought. (Hell, after the last Direct I'll be surprised if Phoenix makes it into Ultimate before Deadly Premonition's Agent Francis York Morgan. And it says a lot when I'm only slightly kidding.)

I suppose Capcom could be planning an anime adaptation of the second trilogy to precede a second port collection, but for all we know they've scheduled it with Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney's seven-year timeskip in mind so that in-universe game and real-world anime dates can once again approximately overlap. Well I'm not waiting for that shit!

As for why I'd choose this to be my parting article as opposed to something else, it's simultaneously the conclusion and crescendo of my Ace Attorney Experience, spanning across 200 Miiverse posts (while the first three entries included 38, 32, and 87 respectively), meaning there's pretty much a nonexistent chance that anything both this ambitious and relevant to the site's interests would ever be published by me again. As a bonus, I'm also uploading my Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Experience -- technically both my first and last time documenting an Ace Attorney game on Miiverse, due to me starting and abandoning the game earlier in the decade and then later salvaging my playthrough following 2017's mainline marathon. (I was probably motivated both by the fact that I actually cared about Maya Fey unlike before and because Miiverse was set to go offline in a little over a month.) Think of it as both a prelude and a postscript.

Now then...let the finale commence.

Ed: There's obviously spoilers for both Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney − Spirit of Justice and Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney ahead. You've been warned.

Ed: See All Time is a Bad Time.

Ed: This hasn't been used in a future article.

Ed: This eventually happened, although in a different medium. Twice.

Ed: Soviet Missile Run wasn't released yet. But you can play Soviet Missile Run here!

Ed: This didn't age well.

Ed: He actually painted it. See Franzy's Whippity-Whip Trip here.

BONUS:
Rawk's Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Experience

Ed: This screen capture made its official debut in the Foxy-focused article here.

Wait...did I truly finish Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney if I only made it to the second "Special Episode" of which there are 12...? Oh well, no Miiversing them now! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You will never see a Rawk's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies Experience, as it was Experienced by him before Miiverse was compatible with the 3DS. Nor will you see a Rawk's Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Experience, as it was Experienced by him on Android plus the 3DS version didn't come out until Miiverse was discontinued anyway. The closest thing you will see to a Rawk's Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth Experience is "miles eggplant", a video made for no reason whatsoever that you can watch embedded here. And now the curtain falls.
