Ace Attorney vs Gyakuten Saiban

[mekanor]

ive not yet played any games from this series though it looks as though its about time i did. anyone whos played know what the differences are between the english and japanese versions? i know the japanese games have english as well so i was just wondering what people think is the better buy.

Thin box>fat box.

I imagine the spelling mistakes would be gone from Ace Attorney

[J0e Musashi]

Nope, they just took out the Japanese. It forces English on boot.

[mekanor]

heh thin box ftw but is the fact that you cant select japanese seriously the only difference in the english version?

[J0e Musashi]

Only difference bud. JPN is generally cheaper too.

Only difference bud. JPN is generally cheaper too.

And earlier.

I think the first one has 'better' English doesn't it? I played the first on a UK cart, the 2nd on a Jap, and the first had much more funny turns of phrases and plays on words, which I can only assume were edited afterwards? (I could be completely wrong!)

[J0e Musashi]

The only difference is that the Japanese option is taken out of the Western versions. It'd be pointless editing the text considering the games are budget titles.

[mekanor]

well if thats the case then japanese it is

[J0e Musashi]

Be warned that part 4 has no English option whatsoever.

[mekanor]

yeah saw that. searched the games on play-asia and the first three games were listed as "best price". is this some kind of budget release or is that just play-asia's advertising?

[J0e Musashi]

The first three titles are re-releases of the original GBA games, with part 1 having an extra DS-only 5th case bolted onto the end. "Best Price" is just another name for a budget title. You can get part 1 as a non "Best Price", but parts 2 and 3 are "Best Price" only.

Nope.

Ace Attorney & Ace Attorney: Justice For All use, by and large, the same english translation used in Gyakuten Saiban 1 & 2.

There are typos and spelling mistakes in the Ace Attorney games.
