Japan Gaming Guide

Capcom has released the first picture from the upcoming movie based on the Ace Attorney series of games. The Japanese title is Gyakuten Saiban, and it is scheduled to be released in February of 2012. Hiroki Narumiya will be playing the part of Ryuichi Naruhodo (Phoenix Wright), and he’s definitely got the character’s look down. There’s no news on whether or not the story will involve a case from the games, but expect the series’s main characters to be included. Takashi Miike is directing, so the film will definitely carry the game’s strong visuals. Miike is probably most famous in the west for his movie adaptation of the manga, Ichi the Killer. Pornograffitti has also been attached to create an original theme song.
