Oh. Capcom. I didn't see you there. How's it going? Won't you take a seat? Can I get you anything? Water? Tea? Pepsi?
You see, Capcom...there's something that's been on my mind as of late, and I'd like to take this opportunity to get it off my chest. A little over a month ago, I was perusing Joystiq and found out about the release of a fifth Ace Attorney game, Gyakuten Kenji, in Japan. Even though there would be no courtroom scenarios or anyone screaming "OBJECTION!" at anyone like I've enjoyed from the previous Gyakuten Saiben games (yes, I own all four), I still managed to make a near-deafening "SQUEE!" when I found out about the new game and its protagonist, Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, Phoenix Wright's childhood friend and courtroom rival throughout the first three games. I was even more excited (which I had thought impossible) when I discovered that the game finally had a date set for it's American release.
But Capcom, this is where the trouble truly starts. You see, the release of Perfect Prosecutor (or, as it will be called here in the States, Ace Attorney Investigations) is set for February 16th, 2010.
Do you see a problem with this, Capcom? February 16th. That's two days after February 14th. Now, Capcom, answer me this. How the heck is my husband supposed to get me this game for Valentine's Day if it comes out two days afterward???
You see Capcom, you're missing a wonderful opportunity here. I know what you are probably thinking...what girl wants a video game for Valentine's Day? Girls only want flowers and chocolates and puppies, dinner and a movie, all that jazz. They don't want video games. ORLY? I'm not so sure about that...

Let's go through the Court Record and present some evidence, shall we? OBSERVE EXHIBIT A!!! (presents photograph)


Take a good look at the photograph, Capcom. Girls freaking LOVE the Nintendo DS! Surely any girl who has a DS wouldn't mind receiving games as a gift, right? Still not convinced? Well, it just so happens, I have some decisive evidence up my sleeve. Allow me to present Exhibit B!

TAKE THAT! Yes, the Prosecution itself shall play as my key evidence in this case! Take a good look at your protagonist, Capcom. A gooood look. There's a good reason we fangirls often refer to him as the "Pink Prosecutor", Capcom (well, at least when we're not calling him "Emo-worth"). Know why? Because the man is pink. PINK. And the cravat! Pink + Frills = HARDCORE VALENTINE'S DAY MATERIAL!
SRSLY CAPCOM! WTF? I rest my case! The judge finds you GUILTY of missing out on using the holiday as a great promotional opportunity.
