Video game publisher Capcom has launched a new trailer for Ace Attorney 5 at the Tokyo Game Show, which is supposed to shed some light on the story of the new game.

The trailer is entirely in Japanese, but the movements and the style make it pretty clear that hard hitting legal arguments resolved via clever use of items from inventories will be the biggest gameplay feature of the new game.

Phoenix Wright will make his return as the star of the series for the first time after the initial two titles in the series in Ace Attorney 5 and he is set to get a new female assistant.

The younger brother of Winston Payne, one of the main antagonists of the series, will be the lawyer that Wright needs to do battle with.

Ace Attorney 5 will be launched on the Nintendo 3DS handheld on the Japanese market and Capcom is also planning to port it to the West.
