Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes]
Are there any fighting game fans in the area? You will be excited because Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes is about to be released: as a reminder, it is the sequel to Under Night In-Birth and comes directly from French-Bread, which is absolutely not French since it is based in Tokyo, in collaboration with Arc System Works.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy
Capcom is the creator of many cult licenses, including “Ace Attorney,” a series that began in 2001 and where Nintendo has often always been ahead. “Often” yes, because the publisher now tends to open up a little: proof of this is this Apollo Justice Ace Attorney Trilogy, which likes Apollo Justice Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Dual Destinies and Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice carries , consisting of at least fourteen episodes. And with a wealth of bonuses such as all the music, the artwork or the animated and digital characters… not to mention the graphical restoration! Without that, we remember that games are intended as such Visual novel in which we play a defense attorney who has to acquit his client: There are therefore quite fascinating phases directly in court, but also others of the investigation to collect information about the case we are dealing with.
