This person seems to think that his website was created by Capcom and is the Ace Attorney franchise. That's really worrying. If he thinks that, how many other people are there that believe the same thing?The film is based on the game Ace Attorney, originally developed for the Game Boy Advance, but later also adapted for the Nintendo DS. I have to admit that I had never heard of the game before I saw the film, let alone played it. Even after seeing the film, I couldn’t really imagine what the game was like, but that wasn’t difficult to correct.
On this website you can find a free trial package: http://aceattorney.sparklin.org. Through the trial package, you also come into contact with the enormous social community that has emerged around the game. A whole plethora of internet forums gives fanatical players an opportunity to exchange insights and tips with each other. These forums make it especially clear why someone decided to turn the game, which is not very visual, into a film. There was already an enormous interested audience. It doesn’t say much that I was not part of it.
Ace Attorney, as the trial package reveals, most resembles a complex and extensive non-digital board game. A bit like Colonists of Catan. Lots of cards. Lots of characters. Lots of rules.
If you add the fact that players can start their own court cases and that magic is allowed, then you start to get a picture of the addiction of the game. Only those who know many characters and rules have any chance. Just like in real court cases.
We need to edit the message on the homepage. We need to give greater clarification that are just a fan community and that we're not affiliated with Capcom. Maybe we should give a link to http://ace-attorney.com, as well.
