@wallhackio Sherclod Holmes, are you still solving the case of "Starfruit Wine" versus "Ancient Fruit Wine"?
@wallhackio sorry that was long and I didn't know I had that much to say about a game I haven't played
@wallhackio also I assumed you were a big ace attorney fan because isn't Ghost trick by the same guy?
@lapis I played the first one it was pretty good. i liked ghost trick 1000000x times more
@wallhackio I understand your lore better
I was gonna say "I'll update the Clodsire Wiki" but we lack wiki pages for our masto accounts. I know I was extolling the feature of the personal note thing today, but I think Mastodon accounts should come with wikis.
Personal Notes aren't big enough to accomodate lore
@wallhackio also I believe as of this year or the year before Sherlock Holmes is fully in the public domain so in theory Capcom could have just sat on the release a couple years. I'm not saying they should have, I just find it kinda cosmically funny
Long post about VIDEO GAMES and International IP Law AKA: Why Sherlock Holmes became Herlock Sholmes
@wallhackio Okay
When The Great Ace Attorney (Dai Gyakutan Saiban) came Westward for real instead of a fan patch, one of the issues is that Sherlock Holmes is literally a character in it.
The IP regarding Sherlock is a bit convoluted in the west (not as bad as Peter Pan though Fuck that law) so to bring it west they had to switch some letters around to make a Pastiche of Holmes (I believe it may help that iirc Holmes is a himbo in this game)
So Sherlock Holmes becomes Herlock Sholmes. This is made funnier because IIRC Phoenix Wright makes a reference to Sherlock Holmes who, due to the name change, would not be a historical figure in his world it just makes him sound like that time I accidentally said "Lord Brian" instead of "Lord Byron"
(I should note I know nothing about JP IP rights but I get the impression for the most part they are FAR less favorable to creators to the point where you can lose your IP rights before you die at least in the case of some manga. IIRC that's why Ken Akamatsu went into JP Politics which feels... weird.
So basically Sherlock Holmes was not a problem to include in the Japanese version)
