Phoenix Wright’s “daughter” Trucy and childhood friend/rival Miles Edgeworth are coming back for Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies, the fifth mainline entry in the series.

Both characters’ were revealed, along with their new looks, in the latest issue of Famitsu. Trucy doesn’t appear to have changed much since her appearance in Ace Attorney 4. Edgeworth, on the other hand, shows his age by sporting a new, longer coat and a pair of glasses.

Capcom also put out a new trailer for the game, but it focuses more on Phoenix and the new prosecutor Jin Yūgami.

The latest trailer for Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project mirai 2 shows off the new touch screen controls.

Unlike the original, players can tap and swipe along with the beat. The note charts have also been changed in the sequel. Instead of just having circles, notes now appear along paths, allowing for double notes and a less cluttered screen.

Three songs have been announced for the game: “Koneko no Paya Paya” by One Cup P, “Do Re Mi Fa Rondo” by 40m P and “Yume Yume” by Deco*27.

Project mirai 2 is due out in Japan this fall.

Capcom has released a new trailer for Ace Attorney 5 showing Phoenix’s glorious return as the main character.

While Phoenix is supposed to be the star of this trailer, what really stands out is how great the facial expressions and animations are for all the characters in the transition to 3D models.

Ace Attorney 5 is set to come out on July 25 in Japan. Releases have been confirmed for North America and Europe, but no dates have been announced.

XSEED Games has confirmed that Pandora’s Tower will be coming to North America this April. According to the publisher, the dates we’ve seen so far have only been placeholders set by retailers.

With the game’s launch now roughly a month away, XSEED has put out the first Pandora’s Tower trailer to tide us over.

The latest Fire Emblem: Awakening trailer covers unit basics like weapon proficiencies, leveling up and class promotions.

Fire Emblem veterans probably won’t find many of the things mentioned to be very useful, but the new bit on unit skills, passive abilities that boost stats or grant special actions in the field, may get battle-hardened tacticians’ thinking about how to level their units already.

Fire Emblem: Awakening isn’t supposed to come out until February 4 across North America, but EB Games Canada is selling copies early.

One of the biggest keys to success in Fire Emblem: Awakening is making use of the support and pairing functions on the field.

By placing two units next to each other or combining them, you can trigger massive stat boosts and possible follow-up attacks. In the latest trailer, Nintendo teaches you how to take advantage of this with smart unit placement.

Level-5 released a new trailer for what may be Professor Layton’s final adventure, Professor Layton and the Azaran Legacies.

It pretty much contains everything you’d expect from a Layton trailer: Animated cutscenes, pointing and clicking, conversations and, of course, puzzles.

Professor Layton and the Azaran Legacies comes out for the 3DS on February 28 in Japan.

Something Pokémon-related will be announced on January 8, according to a tease in the latest Japanese trailer for Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.

There are no details as to what will be announced, but developer Game Freak did mention in their New Year’s card that they plan to evolve the world of Pokémon in 2013.
