I want an entire series about this goth sheep who appears for one second in the OP of New Maple Town Stories https://awoo.space/media/Hdn3Sawb2dtLTswtpBU

Every single track name on this album is incredible. https://inlovewithaghost.bandcamp.com/album/healing https://awoo.space/media/whCwwXYbbVlrRnE5cEE

I'm *completely* obsessed with the statistically "most unwanted song in the world". The MP3 is here, it's 22 minutes long, and it *has* to be heard to be believed. http://ubu.com/sound/komar.html https://awoo.space/media/D7O9KUb0WVtqGOqyI80 https://awoo.space/media/lZLiJoW6eiOhQMhpwiI

Finally, the defendant lobby is the one other scene that reappears, so it was also redrawn. Apollo Justice left out some details, like the guards at the door - maybe because it only shows up briefly. Too bad to lose them!

The judge is another character whose harsh outlines bug me in the HD trilogy. His beard is also really blurry.

Apollo Justice HD took some liberties with the outline of the wood detailing in the background, but it looks good to me.

The details in the witness stand are really interesting to me. Those flags have always been abstract scratches; in Apollo Justice HD, they chose to interpret them as being the court emblem, something that doesn’t appear in any other version.

Next, the prosecutor stand. Sorry we can’t compare prosecutors - Klavier isn’t in the classic games, and I couldn’t find a good screen of this scene in AA DS.

Order, again is: GBA; DS; HD trilogy; Apollo Justice HD. https://awoo.space/media/WDJwbNCky1rgjMvwbL8 https://awoo.space/media/YIQB-MWua2RosqPZJqE https://awoo.space/media/TyE8DsSzhMNnqZrlrIw https://awoo.space/media/6yuvZ69oM901LN91GDE

Might as well start with Phoenix himself. From left to right: GBA; DS; HD trilogy; Apollo Justice HD.

The outlines in AJ HD match the original sprite better, but they also have a shading style that looks nicer to me. https://awoo.space/media/Kb7bvOXLpdvMahXADHI https://awoo.space/media/o8hAuO0seZRn9rNbf_c https://awoo.space/media/FMPNdR8y8NXOAt9Gcc4 https://awoo.space/media/8ovivpT5L8ObpgEoyuY

Something I find interesting in the HD version of Apollo Justice: some fine details that were painted that had no chance of showing up in the downsampled artwork, like Vera’s eyelashes.

The artwork was painted at high resolution, and scaled down to DS resolution back in 2008. Looks like they touched up some details when they were scaled down... https://awoo.space/media/hc8zjDexcmoFd4zzcfs https://awoo.space/media/RI6X_DSFQk8AD2EmEhI

You know what time it is. It’s big boy season.

Yes, these are real photos. His name is Tyson and he weighs 150lbs.

Ah,

I still really wish we could have seen more of Strelka Stories. It was planned to be the next Little Tail game, after Solatorobo. It was meant to focus on space exploration, and take a more mature tone. The concept art was stunning.

Did you know: Sega’s Pico, an edutainment picture book game console based on Genesis hardware, was supported in Japan from 1993 through 2005! This is how there were officially-licensed Pokémon games for Genesis-based hardware. https://youtu.be/_Y42bWcFjTI https://awoo.space/media/jc9iYwdZS4heAxKYjwE
