Because we here at CR adore our contests, let's have another! Wooster and I are happy to announce Court Records' first ever "Design A Banner" contest! The rules are very simple: design a banner for use on CR's main site and/or forum. Anyone can enter, and the winning design will be featured as CR's new banner for at least a month (longer if nothing new comes out). I'm afraid we can't offer you more than props as a reward so soon after the OC contest, but we're looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with. It's all just in good fun. There will be two categories, Site Banner and Forum Banner. Everyone can enter one or both, and you can enter as many times as you like. You can use any of the official art found on this site or elsewhere, or something you've made yourself. Do NOT use fanart created by someone else. They can be funny, dramatic, or anything in between as long as they're Ace Attorney. Entries to the Site Banner category should be no larger than 440x360 pixels, and can be in .jpg, .bmp, .png, .gif, or .psd format. If you do something animated it shouldn't be more than 3 or 4 frames (like Apollo Travolta). Entries to the Forum Banner category are a bit more complicated. Wooster likes to make the banner sizable to all monitors and resolutions, so we'll need you to either submit your entry as a .psd file, or else send us the design along with all the pieces you used so that it can be recreated. If you want to have something peek out underneath (like Sparda Lisa and Godot) just make a note :D. Not including those peekies forum banners should be less than 225 pixels tall. Entries will be due August 10th (one month from now) at the normal CR email, and Wooster and I will pick the entry we think is best suited for the site. Pretty simple, really! Good luck and have fun!

Added the latest two official art Snapshots. Been a lot of Diego lately. Is Capcom trying to tell us something!? Fellow fan Ralvor cleaned some of the AJ character art and put them on transparent backgrounds. They're up in the Official Art section. Made updates to the cosplay, icons, fanart, and custom sprites sections. I'm still going through my mail so if I haven't gotten back to you yet, I'm still working on it! Also, if you're a papercraft fan, you might want to check out these edits by Inunokanojo on DeviantArt, including Apollo, Larry, Security Guard Larry, Feenie, Shadi, Terry, Diego, and Hobo Phoenix.

Okay, we're ultra super positive that Trials and Tribulations, after being confirmed, reordered, de-confirmed, strongly implied, and strongly not-implied, just MIGHT be released in Europe. For real this time! ... Maybe. Go Nintendo's found the (Super Creative and Origional) box art from a Press Release at Games Press. This is the most reliable piece of evidence thus far that Capcom Europe might indeed release GS3. Huzzah!

Now that the OC contest is finished, it's time for me to go back to...actually updating the site, haha. I've added a few pieces to the fanart, icon, and wallpaper sections, but the biggest addition is that I created a Youtube account and favorited a bunch of Ace Attorney videos, rather than linking to them individually. There are a couple different playlists so far, with trailers, fan videos (English and Japanese), and some footage from Anime North '08. It's also being reported that Trials and Tribulations will be coming out in Europe after all, this October. However, the game has yet to reappear on Capcom or Nintendo's official sites for that region, so I'm hopeful but not entirely convinced. If you have the chance, head over to Capcom's official forums/blog and bug them about it! EDIT: This list has T&T on it for October as well. Fingers crossed everyone!

The contest winners are up! You can go see the full results HERE. Congratulations to our winners, and thanks to everyone who entered and participated. Since turn out this year was so much higher than last, I'm already planning on holding the contest again next year. See you then!

It's been a week, and today is your last chance to vote on the contest entries for our Original Character contest (link above). But remember, once the voting is closed the Judge's still get to add one last vote, and in a vote as close as this is that could make all the difference! Stay tuned! Once midnight hits and the poll closes, I'll start adding on the rest of the entries, so you have something to keep you busy while waiting for the results. Good luck, entries! EDIT: Voting is now closed, and the rest of the entries are up! Have fun poking around. Winners will be announced no later than Friday evening. Good luck everyone!

EDIT AGAIN: Like it's explained in the rules, only the top percent of each category was selected by our judges to appear on the voting poll. If you received a confirmation email but don't see your entry on the contest page, I'm sorry, but you didn't make the finals. There's always next year! Once the voting is over, I'll put up the rest of the entries for viewing, just like last year. EDIT: The Entries have been posted! A few rules to read before you go nuts and vote. Read these or risk disqualification. Everyone is only allowed one vote per category. If you don't want to vote in all three categories, you don't have to. Those caught voting multiple times risk getting their entry disqualified. You are allowed to link your friends to this contest so they can see the entries. However, you must link them to the contest page ( http://www.court-records.net/occontest08.htm). Do NOT link directly to the voting page. Any creator caught doing this will be disqualified. I had no trouble doing it last year, I'll do it again! We want this contest to be fair, not a "who has the most friends on Deviant-Art" contest. Please view all the entries and use your honest judgment when voting. All votes are anonymous. Let the games beginNote: Vote poll is open. You have until the 17th to vote, so take your time, look at all the entries, and THEN click. It's a poll not a race!

If you read Game Informer magazine, there is a tiny mention of Perfect Prosecutor in the June 2008 issue. On the Staff page, one of the contributing editors, Joe, lists under his current favorite games "Perfect Prosecutor (please come to the U.S.)". Just an FYI because I always find it encouraging when hearing ANYTHING about AA (and PP). I really hope to be hearing more about the game soon!  Gotta <3 Edgeworth!

Lots of gaming sites and blogs are talking about Captivate '08 now that we're free to do so, and you can probably get more comprehensive coverage from them. But only on Court Records can you get the story from Croik, tiniest attendant! My Las Vegas AdventureFor those only interested in the Ace Attorney side of things, I'm sorry to say they weren't able to give me any news on Kenji or a potential GS5. The only thing I was able to work out of Sven was: "You're going to love what Matsukawa is working on." But what IS Matsukawa working on!? Maybe we'll find out at E3...
