I'll try to make this short. I'm a big stickler for release order (as opposed to retroactively added chronological), and I'm currently playing the first Ace Attorney game (on case 3, with the Samurai actor; loving it). I've heard (no spoilers or details please) that this game has a fifth case which was added after the trilogy was completed. I've even heard it called the best of the series, things like that. That makes me want to play it when it came out--after the first three. But in the same breath I heard that the localization or the cases in the first game were changed in some respect as well to accommodate its placement.
