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?

    LASTMEASURE: THE TRUE OPEN SOURCE ALTERNATIVE
    Zeikfried - Gnaa, Nigeria.
    In a world where one can get classed as +5, informative for simply being able to use google, and +5 funny for out and out slander against the Microsoft corporation, one could be forgiven for branding the elitist unfunny world of slashdot, and yes, the open source community as a whole, as a floundering stagnating mess.
    But in spite of the high cretin concentration throughout open source, but all is not yet lost, for there is a small highly skilled team of individuals determined to utilise the full potenial that this community offers, the dynamic darkies of the Gay Nigger Associaton of America.

    "This is degenerative behaviour, please stop." is the rallying cry for many in the OSDN camp (now a partly owned subsidiary of the KKK). But what IS LastMeasure? And how did it come to provoke such furious bouts of procrastination and anal masturbation among the forced celibates that bless our members with their -1, troll crowns? Reporter for Reuters Nigeria, and 4 time winner of the Golden Sphincter, Gary Niger, was sent in to investigate.
    "I must say I was pleasently surprised", enthused Gary with his trademark lisp. "I expected a band of negro savages, or worse still, a sourceforge project. But what I found was a group of individuals determined to help spread their ideals of sodomy and niggerdom to the masses, and I must say, though it flys in the face of my trademark press neutrality, I was instantly hooked."
    "But of course, in spite of my new found taste for the holy nigger seed, I would not deviate from my task of reporting the facts on LastMeasure. And it is, quite simply, nigtastic. Penisbird and goat-see have lovingly hand-crafted a javascript masterpiece, a triumph for capitalism, as readers of the communist open source "bastion" slashdot now have their gay porno viewing habits broadcasted to their colleagues and classmates, hopefully this will encourage them to finally stop eating and start working, and get their worthless jobs back from the curry eaters. Godspeed GNAA."

    With LastMeasure (currently at version 3.3), the proud patriots of the GNAA have dealt a crippling blow to the communist practices of the google toolbar and it's anti-american ways of blocking the victory of capitalism and the free market over terrorism.

    With LastMeasure, the dying world of the internet shock site has gained new vigour, allowing the benevolent rulers of our collective digital universe, Bob Goatse and Tubgirl, to be brought to many desktops throughout /.

    Wherever there is an unpatched YaBB clone fleecing money off ill-prepared webadmins. There is LastMeasure.

    Wherever there is a poorly prepared IRC server being used as a shell for the important task of bringing camwhoring and masturbation to the free world. There is LastMeasure.

    Wherever GNU/Linux is not being used to its FULL POTENTIAL. There is LastMeasure.

    Wherever a +5 is struck on the head of those who would use it against the greater good. There is LastMeasure.

    Whenever these ENEMIES OF FREEDOM gather, there will be LastMeasure, and the proudly gay negros of the Gay Nigger Association of America, your TRUE OPEN SOURCE ALTERNATIVE.

    FAQ:

    Q. I am a proud supporter of open source, and would like to be a regular user of LastMeasure. However I can't seem to gain the full effect of your wonderful software, what could I be doing wrong?
    A. While your zealotism is most welcome, it would appear that you are using the incorrect browser. Firefox and Opera are both major offenders, the GNAA recommend the Microsoft(TM) corporations Internet Explorer(TM) to halt the spread of communism, and to be able to use our software

    GNAA Announces Victory over AOL

    Monday, May 17 2004, GNAA, Nigeria

    "Who is the Greatest Man Alive?" - If you ask Gary Niger, he'll tell you it is most definitely Osama Bin Laden.

    The Gay Nigger Association of America (GNAA) announced today further victory in their current program to bring about total breakdown of the AOL customer relation system.

    AOL Corporate Policy has been changed after GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) special operative Gary Niger's constant abuse of their "secret question" program designed to provide a futile illusion of security for the mongoloids and sodomites that comprise their customer base.

    The "custom question" option, allowing users to create their own question, has been removed following the efforts of Niger and other fearsome Gay Niggers from the GNAA's top secret "Black Ops" divison.

    With the removal of this option, trolls are now forced to use pre-approved AOL "secret question" options when signing up for fraudlent accounts for the purpose of downloading gay pornography and meeting up with the clandestine "homo thug" underground.

    "I don't know why it changed, exactly. Corporate HQ didn't tell us," said Tracy, an AOL representative. "It happened two or three days ago."

    Tracy was unavailable for further comment, as she was masturbating furiously under her desk - claiming that "Ten guys were on the phone and (she) had to take them all on."

    An AOL executive, speaking under the condition of anonymnity, said the change in policy came after widespread employee unrest, culminating in an incident of mass sodomy taking place in the Ogden, Utah call center.

    Gary Niger and other members of the GNAA "Black Ops" division continue to use the "custom question" trolling technique with various punjabis in the Bangalore, India call center - who haven't gotten the memo yet.

    Meanwhile, GNAA Command is working on the creation of new methods of trolling to work within the confines of this new standard, still flush with victory.

    Nick Berg's head was unavailable for comment at the time of this release.
