Cactus 2.0!
This article has just been started and needs the article basics added.
Help us out and add them.
Hmmm...
To do:
  • SDK leftovers in sound folder
  • Unused RFTA models

It's the same finger-pointing-and-yelling action you remember from the original three games, but with better graphics and sound, (some) typos fixed, and 3D!

But this time, it doesn't suck.

Unused Graphics

Hmmm...
To do:
  • The unused Edgeworth and Larry sprites from the first game were revamped, rip them
  • Several dummy sprites
  • DS version sprites

GBA Bubbles

GBA Buttons

Translated Hazakura Temple Sign

AAT Hazakura Temple 1.png AAT Hazakura Temple 2.png

These two images have the Hazakura Temple sign translated to English. Since all Kurain-related imagery is intended to be left untranslated, the Japanese versions are used instead, leaving these unused.

Lose the Case!!

AAT Lose The Case.png

A strange image that depicts Phoenix sitting under a spotlight. The red text reads Lose the Case!!

Sabaiban

AAT Sabaiban.png

Another strange image, similar to the Lose the Case! image. The red text reads Sabaiban, or Surviban, a portmanteau of "survival" and "saiban", which was the original name of the series before being changed to Gyakuten Saiban. Unlike most other unused images which are also present in the GBA or DS versions, this and the previous graphic were introduced in the 3DS version. Given the lower resolution of the images, they probably originate from an earlier version of the game and left over in the files during the remastering process.

Demo Leftovers

As with other Ace Attorney games, graphics from the demo are still present in the final build. In this case, the demo the leftovers are from is the E3 2014 demo.

Unused Audio

BGM094

This track returns from Justice for All, where it was also unused. Unlike other unused tracks which were removed, this one instead got remastered. It sounds like the second part of Justice for All's ending theme, redone similarly to BGM093.

Leftover Sounds

Every sound that was given a higher quality version in this version has their original, lower quality version along with them.

Old Audience Voices

This "track" is labeled BGM090 in the game's files, unlike the other sound effects. This is a direct leftover from the original games, as it was grouped next to the music in them.

Revamped Echoed Objection

Hmmm...
To do:
Does the Japanese version of the game have this?

The echoed "Igiari/Objection!" from Trials and Tribulations was revamped, this time not only in English, but higher quality all-around and with Mia Fey's "Objection!" added in as well. Given that the other, lower quality versions of this specific sound effect are used, it's likely that this was meant to be used.

Revisional Differences

Hmmm...
To do:
Anything else? Comparisons.

Justice for All - Episode 2

In all prior releases of the second game, Dr. Grey's animation had him push his glasses up with his middle finger. Starting with the 3DS release and carrying over to the 2019 version, he was redrawn to use his index finger instead.
