Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Physical Switch Release Confirmed

What? This has been up on Playasia since May…

I’m probably gonna get it digital tbh.

@RupeeClock and a NEW game in Ace Attorney

Oh thought it was getting an actual international physical release just like Great Ace Attorney. This being physical in playsasia just like the other collection isn’t new.

Capcom is being weird as hell that this entire Switch generation they didn’t drop a single new AA game which they always managed to do for last few Nintendo devices

Why is this not getting a US physical when the last one did?

Seems like this'll be an eventual import when I do decide to cave again. I ended up buying an imported Japanese copy of Ace Attorney Trilogy online a couple years ago. Capcom seems strangely allergic to worldwide physical releases sometimes....

Nice, I'm going to import the Japanese version as I did with the first trilogy, and the box art looks just fine.

Awesome, but again with no western physical release? C'mon Capcom...

So the usual from Capcom then. Physical only in Asia.

Well, I imported the first trilogy with thanks from EBay so if they don’t do a UK/US version I’ll be doing that again

I have had some trouble ordering physical copies of Switch games before. When I ordered a game from Limited Run Games, it had an error saying that the Gold Points redemption window hadn't begun yet, months after the digital version had released.
That wasn't as bad as Playasia, which sent a Japanese copy of what I was fairly certain had an English version. Perhaps I misunderstood the listing, but I definitely ordered English box art, and received a game that both the box art and the game itself was entirely in Japanese with no language options.

@Arawn93 Makes sense. Nintendo have rolled the portable and home console into one.

@HammerKirby

Here's another question: when is Capcom going to remember the EU exists for physical releases?

That's actually cool but I will go digi for this I thinks.

@HammerKirby Great Ace Attorney got a physical, but the original Phoenix Wright Trilogy did not in the US. Seems they think the collections aren’t worth releasing physical in the states?

@Waluigi451 Yeah idk. Isn't the Great Ace Attorney technically a collection since it has two games in it?

@NinjaSyao did you all not even get Great Ace Attorney physical? Lol

@HammerKirby true, but neither of those were released in the US until then. So maybe that makes it different? But idk how Capcom thinks lol

@TheMegaMarshtomp Just to give you a head ups. Gold point redemption never works on games that get physical releases later on after the digital release.

@HammerKirby Yes, there is a two year limit on when Gold points are available for physical games. The error I got was not that the points had expired, but that the points window hadn't yet begun.

If I recall correctly, I ended up contacting Nintendo and they manually added Gold points onto my account.

They really went above and beyond with these l, and I can't wait to replay these! 🤎

@HammerKirby Nope! The only Capcom game we have received a physical edition for since the launch of the Switch, as far as I know atleast, is Monster Hunter Rise >.>

@TheMegaMarshtomp is that different in the EU? In the US, its just a year. But I find that even within a year it'll still glitch out a lot of times. Lol

@HammerKirby I was thinking something had a two year limit, but I guess it wasn't the Gold points. My mistake.

@TheMegaMarshtomp, @HammerKirby If I recall from reading online, the gold coin limit is two years in the EU (and elsewhere I presume) but is only one year in North America sadly. As a US Nintendo fan, I'd love if the two years was across the board since I opt for physical releases 9 times out of 10.

That's not true. Delayed physical releases such as Pikmin 1 + 2 would have redeemable gold coins, for example. For the most part, gold coins are essentially region locked to markets where the game was released physically.

For example, I'm from Australia, but because we're considered a PAL region (and basically have a lesser version of Europe's eShop selections), I can usually redeem Gold coins for European physical imports, though there have probably been a handful of exceptions.

If I import a US game which has not had a European release, then those usually cannot be redeemed (but sometimes they're redeemable via my Japanese account, which I use mainly for demos and gauge language support for their physical releases).

I'm also unsure if physical releases by boutique publishers such as Limited Run and Super Rare have redeemable gold coins. From memory, none of Super Rare's cartridges (which are all European coded) have yielded any gold coins. LRG wouldn't regardless as I do not have a US account.

One of the weirder cases where I was able to redeem gold coins was via the physical release of Football Manager 23 Touch, which (to my knowledge) was only released in Korea, and yet I was able to add the coins to my Aussie account. Perhaps they had planned an international physical release but reconsidered while the cartridges were being manufactured. Who knows.

Redid my JPN preorder for the sticker sheet I think.....
