Following the very welcome news that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice is headed to the west this September as a download exclusive, Capcom has submitted another piece of compelling evidence - over ten minutes of footage from the game itself.
The video - which is in Japanese - shows the trademark courtroom action that has made the series so famous. It's understandable hard to follow if you don't understand the language, but it does at least show what the game will look like.
The title arrives in Japan on 30th June. Are you keen on playing Phoenix's latest adventure?

Why isn't this series on Wii U? I would have checked it out if it was.
@BornInNorway81 It is technically... via WiiWare.
For those that are wondering, I'm pretty sure this is from the DLC that you get for pre-ordering this game in Japan, which is called Turnabout Across Time. Why?
Edgeworth is prosecuting; the main prosecutor in the game isn't him, but rather someone else (I won't spoil it). Plus, Phoenix's portion of the game takes place exclusively in Khura'in, from what I've learned. And, this takes place after the main game - there's a few subtle hints that point at this.
Is this game entirely voice acted now then?
@azelf I dunno, it could be. However, if it is, given the fact that it's a digital download only in the West, that must make for a massive download. Or, it could've just been added in for the video.
I don't know how, but somehow I just knew who the first new character would be before they magnificently appeared.
This looks absolutely incredible for a 3DS game. The really seem to have upped their game since Dual Destinies and Layton vs. Poenix Wright, graphically.
@Tops Same here, I don't need to see anything. All Ace Attorney/Phoenix Wright games are awesome.
@BensonUii Yeah, Apollo Justice was a nightmare for me to track down online, but it's worth it! Don't forget about the Miles Edgeworth games as well, they're worth your money too!
I'm trying really hard not to spoil myself on any plot points, so I'm not gonna watch the video, but it's becoming incredibly difficult to not look at Spirit of Justice news, I just want the game now!!!
I think that I'll try and finish Dual Destinies and Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright, and then play both Ace Attorney Investigations games. I'll be preordering the special edition... e-shop thing?
Weird how nobody is remarking about the fact that Wendy Oldbag in a spacesuit just teleported from nowhere...please don't tell me that requires prior series knowledge...
Been playing the demo on repeat for a few days now. I can not wait for this game!
I still need to get that DLC case on Dual Destiny, completely forgot about it. Still looking forward to the new one.
Now if only we convince Capcom to send The Great Ace Attorney this way....
@buildz Very true. It would take a while to do the voices in English, French, German etc. Might just be for the Japanese version
@shonenjump86 It's really worth it, I only played it a couple of months ago, but I would say that it's one of if not my favourite non-finale case. It's a bit like turnabout big top (the circus one) in how insane it is, but with the characters not being annoying as hell
@BranJ0
Lol, yeah. I will definitely download it.
@azelf The Japanese eShop has a demo of this game, and from what I can see, there is no voice acting - it, as I originally proposed, was probably just added in for this video.
It's so nice to see this magnificent series find it's footing again. I felt like with Apollo justice it was wobbling but with the great phoenix wright in the name again, there series is sturdy once more! The Butz is back! Now all we need is gumshoe (please make it happen!)
I just got Apollo ace attorney,that will hold me out for the meantime
@DoctorOverbuild I may be in the minority for saying this, but I thought Dual Destinies was far better off for not having Gumshoe. Detective Fulbright and the character interactions with him were fun. Dick Gumshoe can be pretty boring in comparison. I have hopes that there's a new detective again for Spirit of Justice.
This video is also clearly not streaming from a 3DS, which is a bit disappointing... All hi-def and gorgeous like that.
@buildz No, this is confirmed to be a full DLC case, like Turnabout Reclaimed.
This used to be my favorite game series until I find Danganronpa, the character there and humors are much more entertaining even though quite out of this world compare to AA.
Anyhow, I will still buy another 2ds just for this game and corpse party.
@JubilifeRival Err... Since when did I say it wasn't?
I don't get it. The game looks !"#¤ ridiculous.
@buildz "I'm pretty sure this is from the DLC that you get for pre-ordering this game in Japan, which is called Turnabout Across Time."
I guess you didn't know that the DLC you get for preordering the game in Japan is not only even shorter than a first case, but the names of the cases have been confirmed, and they aren't called Turnabout Across Time.
I assumed you didn't know Across Time was a full DLC case and NOT one you get for preordering the game, so I explained it to you.
I would like them to release the second Miles Edgeworth game on the eShop - the one which was only released in Japan. That would be cool.
Also, whatever happened to the game The Great Ace Attorney? I haven't ready anything about it for a while.
I hope this game won't be rated 16+ like Dual Destinies.
@JubilifeRival I must've confused them. I know that Turnabout Across Time is releasing (now) AFTER the game comes out (isn't it like late June?). My bad.
Day One buy, of course, and now I just need The Great Ace Attorney to fill the empty hole in my heart.
@buildz It can get confusing, for sure.
