As said above, I'd rather we were getting Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney or Ace Attorney Investigations 2, but hell yeah I'm excited about this. He's the one reason I jumped off the fence and pre-ordered the game. I also think they've really hit the nail on the head with his design, the 3-mode style he's got is a great translation of the spirit of his home games like Arthur gaining and losing his armour is.
And to all those out there who say he's a 'waste' because he's not a 'serious' fighter, did I miss something? This is a game where Spider-Man and the Hulk can get smacked in the face with a life bar and Chun-Li can do her thunder thighs thing on Albert Wesker. This is not a 'serious' game. Sure, you can get very deep into the mechanics, but why can't you do that with Wright like you can with Akuma or Sentinel? Sure, he's got goofy moves and a quirky gimmick but that's what differentiates him from all the other characters.
