It covers various topics, including the return of Maya Fey, the lifebar change, inspirations behind the Kingdom of Khura’in, creating the new prosecutor, and more.

Here’s an excerpt:

The reason there was a lifebar to begin with in Ace Attorney: Justice For All was because the player could receive penalties for making mistakes during the Psyche-Lock segments of the Investigation sections.

 

In Dual Destinies, we removed the penalties from the Psyche-Lock segments. However, because our goal was to faithfully recreate the feel of the first four games on the Nintendo 3DS, we kept the gauge as part of the overall look. But because you would get a game over after five mistakes, it was not functionally necessary to keep it as a gauge anymore. Therefore, in keeping with the UI design concept for Spirit of Justice of giving each country its own unique look, we decided to go back to the five strikes style with magatama marks and attorney’s badges for Khura’in and the US respectively.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice (3DS) comes out on September 8th in Europe and North America.
