MAS8705 talks about Phoenix Wright Mash Ups

How it is going everyone! I’m MAS8705 and I am excited since I am finally going to be doing one of my rants right now! I admit that I’m a bit out of practice (considering it has been a while since I have last worked on a rant), so this rant will not have a word limit, so if you want to see under 500 words, wait till next time… Also I'm going to attempt a new style of Ranting where I use "Visual Aids" to get my point across, so if you guys don't think this is good, go ahead and tell me and I'll be sure to correct this...

It has been a great year for me: I’ve passed my classes, I’m working again, and there was the announcement of a Phoenix Wright Movie! For those of you who haven’t seen the trailer, or haven’t seen the 2nd one, here is what I’m talking about…



Now I am a big hater of this whole god damn “Video Game Movie Adaptation” series, as people (mainly f***ing Uwe Boll) have no idea what the hell to do when it comes to making a video game movie. But hey that’s a rant for another time: This movie has me excited as it is following what an adaptation is suppose to do: Retell the story it is known for, and using the same characters and no new characters (again, F*** Alice). Not to mention of the Big crossover coming soon of Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney…



Now I’ve never had the chance to play Professor Layton, but this is looks to be shaping up to be an awesome game!

Let’s face it, there are a few things in this world that I can be truly excited for: Smash Bros, Chocobos, and the story telling of the Phoenix Wright games. Hell, I bet if you mash up Phoenix Wright with anything, it will be awesome… I want you to think of anything you would want to mash up Phoenix Wright with and tell me what would be the best crossover.



Alright, results are coming in… and…







SERIOUSLY?! YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK! Why the hell would you want to mash up the awesomeness of Phoenix Wright with My Little Pony!?!

*smashes head against wall several times to calm down*


Ok, ok… I’m sorry… it’s just that my little pony, (well to me anyway) sounds like a bunch of-



*puts away Nuke Bricks*

It does sounds like a bunch of hoopla to me since I could never figure out the popularity of my little pony, even after watching the "Know your meme" segment about it... Anyway, getting back on topic, there are actually two projects on YouTube that actually do mash together Phoenix wright with My Little Pony, and (as it turns out) I am finding it very hard to look away from since it is being executed perfectly... Also I don't want to scare away those who are afraid of losing their "masculinity" as they read this topic so I'm going to throw in some manly Clips to help even out this article... Here's the first one...


There we go... :)

The first is called “My Little Investigations” which is basically Edgeworth’s investigation games done with ponies. While you would think this would be stupid, it is actually well thought out… First shown by YouTube user, GabuEx, it later developed into Team Equestrain Dreamers (they were already a team, but GabuEx was posting the videos on his channel first), they have done a few things that actually expand on the game play style off the investigations game… While you can see the videos on their new YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/EquestrianDreamers

Let me post one video that really stood out for me: The idea of “Partners”.



This is something that you would probably see in a future "Investigations" game where the partner you have can actually affect the story and progression, so this is was just mind blowing for me. Also there was a time when these guys are also RECRUITING artists and other people to help put the game together so if there are any pony lovers out there (you sick little monkeys… Couldn’t find a video for that one sadly ;( ) go to their site and apply, they need a lot of artists to put the game together. Again though, it is hard to say if they still are recruiting, but hey never hurts to ask...

OK, one more Chuck Norris Clip...


Well that was fun...

The 2nd mashup is a rather clever idea: a crossover of Phoenix Wright with My Little Pony called: Turnabout Storm


While many other people would try and post stupid dialogue with horrific voice acting, these guys have well written dialogue and pretty good voice actors, while at the same time having the look and feel of Phoenix Wright with Music while keeping it in the My Little Pony Universe. That and I feel Phoenix’s Pain about him losing his manliness the more he is in the world. Poor guy. Anyway, they also recently posted the 2nd part, so if you enjoyed the first video, be sure to watch the 2nd (I just watched it and I have to say the ending was quite the twist)...

...


Thank you Mike Haggar, I couldn't use three consecutive clips of Chuck Norris, Don't want him to come find me...

So… yea, I will admit that the fans do know how to work my little pony into the style of Phoenix Wright, and hell if I wanted to start watching My Little Pony, this probably would be the backdoor route to doing it… In fact, let’s watch one scene really fast just for the hell of it…

O_o

@_@

Must… Watch… Poni- *Punches self* NO! NO! NO! NO! This is sick and wrong! No wonder why people seem to watch these Ponies! If you excuse me, I’m going to watch five Chuck Norris films right now to get my manliness back! I’m MAS8705 and that was my rant for today! See you next time!

*Jumps out of three story window*


Special Notice: To help balance out my time away from Augmented Reality, I will be posting a few extra articles these next few weeks, I hope you all enjoy and leave a comment down below for anything you want to be discussed… Alongside with this, I am also planning on posting a few stories I have been working on too, so if you want a preview of it, be sure to ask...

Disclaimer: I don’t hate My Little Pony; I’ve seen a few episodes and it is written a hell lot better than most other shows nowadays… Also all videos and pictures used in this rant belong to those who originally posted them and the companies they belong to...
