Featuring everyone's favourite, Herlock Sholmes
[Update 21/4/21, 13:20 ADT: Looks like the physical release is not download code only - the code is probably for the bonus content, and the game will be on a cartridge.] It's appropriate that the abbreviation for the long-running Ace Attorney series is "AA", because that's roughly what we're all...

News Capcom UK Gets Hopes Up for a Localisation of The Great Ace Attorney
Don't rush to judgement yet, though
The Ace Attorney series may now be a download-only franchise in the West, but at the very least recent entries have still been localised.

The Great Ace Attorney looks unlikely, though
This week Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 6 was confirmed for the 3DS, along with the news that it'll be playable at the Tokyo Game Show.

News Yoshi's Woolly World Has Limited Impact in Japan as Yo-Kai Watch Busters Dominates
3DS retains overall hardware lead despite PS4 boost
The latest chart results have been released out of Japan and bring a mix of good and middling news for Nintendo. To begin with software, the results bring us the début of Yoshi's Woolly World on Wii U, and its impact has been fairly underwhelming; the title sold 31,158 units in its first week...

We still reckon this'll be eShop only in the West, though
The Great Ace Attorney is shaping up to be a rather neat new entry in the famous Capcom franchise, going back to 19th Century England and teaming up Phoenix Wright's ancestor with Sherlock Holmes. If that's not a concept that gets your blood pumping, then you may not be a fan of the series...

The Great Ace Attorney, which will take the series into a new era and no doubt expand upon its various case-solving mechanics, is creeping closer to its release on 3DS in Japan.
