Former Capcom developer Masakazu Sugimori talks about the early days of Ace Attorney - when it was considered a failure by Capcom.

Well no “Objection!” here for Capcom taking a risk.

I don’t want to came off as simping for Capcom because they’re are a corporation and thus are only profit-driven. But I do want to give credit where credit is due. Greenlighting a sequel despite the first attempt being a flop is not something that many publishers would do. This wouldn’t be the last of Capcom’s unorthodox decisions. When the industry was laying off workers left and right, Capcom actually increased their employees pay. If that increase was actually a substantial increase or not I don’t know but other companies won’t even consider increasing employee pay by a cent.

Also the First Ace Attorney fucking slaps and has the best sound track by far. Their “Flop” was an incredible game.

The upbeat music that plays once you hit out with some evidence that puts you on the attack. I’ve never felt so emotionally hyped and invested from a text-reading game.

I can only guess you’re referring to the “Cornered” pursuit theme that plays when you’ve really starting catching out the current witness in all their lies. Everybody has their favorite version from whatever game but yo me, nothing surpasses the first one.

And on the other hand, when you shout objection and the normal music keeps playing…

Having that music start without “OBJECTION” being shouted first feels so weird

Only they’d come back around to Mega Man a bit more

Poor Rock’s been languishing for ages, with Trigger being abandoned in space for 25 years now :(
