Some mobile gaming news at last (you've already downloaded Splinter Cell Double Agent and Stranded, right?). Capcom Europe has officially announced that mobile versions of Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney and forthcoming Xbox 360 thriller, Lost Planet, will be launching in the UK next year. The former involves similar gameplay to the recent DS title, with players collecting evidence, examining testimonies and overcoming corruption in the pursuit of justice. Visuals capture the spirit of the series pretty well, with sharp manga styling.
The latter, meanwhile, forms a prequel to its next-gen big brother, pitting players against the evil alien Akrids. As in the console version, you get to jump into super tough mechs to boost your firepower. You must also keep an eye on your body temperature - the action takes place in an inhospitable frozen wasteland. The top-down viewed visuals look pretty nice, bringing to mind - as mobile games often do - the glory days of late-eighties scrolling shooters.
Capcom has also announced one of three brand new titles set for release on the 3 network.
Warriors of Fate is a horizontally scrolling fighting game, pitching your well-armed soldier against endless waves of enemies. Moves such as throws, crushes and punches are combined with weapons like swords and firebombs - think Golden Axe infused with Dynasty Warriors.
It's an impressive line-up from Capcom, which, along with other big Japanese publishers like Sega and Namco, is taking the European mobile games market seriously at last. Street Fighter II and Resident Evil Confidential Mission are already out.
