Capcom Bringing GBA Court Drama To West?

Thanks to The Magic Box for relaying the unconfirmed rumor that "Capcom is planning to release the popular court simulation game Gyakuten Saiban for Game Boy Advance in US later this year, as they have applied for a [trademark] for the title in US." Searching the USPTO database certainly reveals a U.S.-specific "Trademark 78416207... [filed] May 10th, 2004" by Capcom for the Japanese courtroom adventure title with intriguing handheld gameplay, which is helpfully explained in a recent InsertCredit review: "Listen to witnesses speak; at the right time, use the L button to question them... [which] may reveal holes in their stories... Point to the right pieces of evidence at the right times (hey! you can see the victim's watch in that picture with the bottle of pills!), and look really good to the judge as the witness stutters out a confession." Although the game's release is distinctly unconfirmed, would you buy this title if Capcom opted to translate it?

I love getting carjacked or being attacked by zombies! Those could never make good game experiences! Just because you don't think an experience would make a good video game doesn't mean it won't; I personally have no interest in getting into a sword fight but Way of the Samurai and Soul Caliber are pretty fun.

Who loves the police and the DA? That could never make a show people would want to watch! Wait, Law and Order has been on for 10 years with 2 spin offs...I must be off base.

Don't knock it til you've tried it. My Japanese isn't as great as it should be, but the games are actually kinda fun.
