Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies has been given a release date in North America and Europe.
According to the official Ace Attorney Facebook page, it will emerge into the 3DS eShop in both regions on 24th October and will be priced at $29.99 / €24.99.
While Japan received a physical copy of Dual Destinies, the West is only getting a downloadable edition, despite the fact all prior Ace Attorney titles have received boxes and cartridges. There were plenty of objections and there was even a small campaign to persuade Capcom to change its stance, but it did not materialise.
However, it will receive some of the downloadable content, including character costumes and an additional case. Details on this, such as dates and prices, are yet to be released.
What are your thoughts on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies? Will you be downloading it from the eShop? Let us know in the comment section below.
Thanks to invmat for the tip!

That's the day before my birthday!
Do want! unfortunately I need to wait to get a new 3DS
I didn't expect this price I must admit, but I still don't know what to do
@kkslider5552000 Good for you!
For me, this will be one week before my exam period starts. Murphy's Law...
I was totally expecting that price and I have $30+ waiting for it!
October is a busy month...
Rune Factory 4, Etrian Odyssey Untold- Oct. 1
Zelda: WW- Oct. 4
Assassins Creed 4: BF- Oct. 21
And... Now... This!!!!
Maybe the low cost will shut up most of the complainers. I'm sure many of us have already spent $30 on other eShop games so they can't complain about "what if the 3DS breaks" if they have.
Seems like for some people, its okay to spend $30 on several crappy games they won't play long but not $30 on one good game that they will play for many hours.
Finally a release date has been released.
October is TRULY Nintendo's month.
Zelda, Sonic and Ace Attorney! ALL IN ONE MONTH o.O I can't handle that amount of awesomeness...
Cool, I am so getting this, but not day one, or month. Too many games to play at the moment and Pokemon X & Y is not helping the ace attorney.
Did it have to be that month?!?! Let's see Capcom come back around March next year saying it wasn't a success. I wonder why!?!? I'm still going to get it but probably won't play it for a long while. Too many October games!
I can't wait, but I think it is a very stupid move on capcom side to release it so close to the release of pokemon, hope it doesn't hurt sales and further localization chances
Wow, that's incredibly cheap. I was going to download it anyway, but this only makes me happier. Thanks Capcom!
Yes, yes!!!!
Of course I'm buying it. I sincerely hope this game is successful enough that future AA games get released in the West.
Well, we have gotten 5 of them, and we are also getting the Professor Layton X Ace Attorney game, which will be friggin' SWEET!
I'll be buying this day one to support the business model of digital only releases of titles that would be riskier at retail.
Oh come on, another October release?! My wallet already has it in for me for pre-ordering Zelda WW,Sonic LW, Pokemon, Wii U Party & AC4.
Its likely i won't pick this up right away as my 3DS will be Pokemon land for a while but i'm def going to get it.
Also why no UK price? I'm assuming its going to be £20 given the US and EU price points.
Huh, fair enough. This is going to be one hell of a Fall!
What an unexpected surprise! How could I forget about this game?! Yes, I will be getting this one.
NOOO.. I have $29.09 in my eShop account! And since the eShop doesn't take my international credit card, I'll have to buy a cash card to make up the missing cents. D:
I'm yet to finish up with the rest of the series since I've been so preoccupied with New Leaf. Oh well, October seems like a great month so far!
I get why people were mad about the whole digital thing, but I played the first 3 on WiiWare, so I've got no beef. I am excite
Time to finally buy some e-shop points
Why is nowhere able to report a UK price? We exist after all. Or did Capcom decide we aren't getting it at all last minute? Lol! Seriously I want this SO bad. But during Pokemon month? Really Capcom? And all the other games that everyone ELSE is interested in? So glad Rune Factory 4 isn't out over here that month too. I'd have literally no clue what to do with my money.
Oh man, I am SO excited about this! It's been over 3 1/2 years since we last got a new Ace Attorney game, and after AAI2 never got translated I was worried the series was dead outside Japan. This is a total insta-buy for me, and hopefully enough people agree with me so it sells well enough to secure the series' future and AAI2 becomes the exception rather than the norm.
Getting it. Glad my birthday is that month since I have Pokemon X&Y, Sonic Lost World and Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate pre-ordered. Plus I have some movies that I want, like the Little Mermaid.
@Emblem I would guess 25 pounds myself. Exchange rates should not be used when determining possible prices
I'm getting this game like I'm getting life support which is immediately.
Just in time for my new pink XL. Will be picking this and pokemon up. And Sonic but probably at a later date.
Seriously October's a barsteward on wallets but I think they just wanted it out because they didn't want it to get lost in the holiday season since it's a download only title. And November isn't much safer with Mario Party and Zelda ALBW.
I only hope Shantae isn't announced for October as well or I'm doomed!
@Bass_X0: You have no idea how amused I am that you're still so horribly wounded I (and others) won't be buying this game for various reasons. Please do keep complaining about us every chance you get!
I'll be getting this.
Haven't played one in the series before, so I'm really looking forward to it.
I can't access the eshop from my country, which sucks, will have to change region and buy it at a higher price... <_<
Also, probably on November, since my money is on Pokemon X only
Where's my 3DS miiverse? :@
In related news, the fan translation beta patch for Investigations 2 was released yesterday.
Perfect release date.
@kkslider5552000 Dual Destinies is also coming near my birthday by four days! It will be a great birthday gift for the both of us XD
Also, I have tried out the AAI2 patch, and it's very well done. I can't wait until cases 3, 4, and 5 get patched, too.
Wait, what? It's only €24,99!? I love you, Capcom.
So excited - I can't wait!
Also, why is everyone freaking out about the price now? Capcom said that the game would be $30/€25 about a month ago.
@Zach777 you forgot Batman Arkham Orgins and its 3DS spin off.
WTF? 2013 has been a great year for the 3DS so far, now with Zelda, Pokemon and Phoenix Wright is getting SO MUCH BETTER?! Wow! If only MH4 would come here soon too....
I was hoping this game was going to come out earlier in October. Oh well now I know the exact release date at least =)
@kkslider5552000 This game comes out the day of my birthday.
It's a really nice present from Capcom! Really excited it finally has a realease date!
@Luigifan141 + the DLC cost which will be excessive and the fact it cannot be resold. I am glad I don't want it. (Still got the first DS one and I think it is garbage).
@ScroogeMcLz Be less than the Euro price e.g £22.99 - It is never a 1:1 conversion.
@unrandomsam Um, the only DLC we're getting are the episode DLC and the costume pack, which only costs $8 and $1.50 in Japan, and will likely cost as much if not less in America. If that's excessive to you well...enjoy your pennies, cheapskate...
Can't wait! Still wish we could get Edgeworth 2, though.
Been craving some lawyer-em-up action for a while now.
So excited for this.
@kkslider5552000 Cheers, it's on my birthday!
I'll get it when I can afford it. Glad it had a solid release date now!
At least it's not $40. But I'm still very ticked off that there won't be a boxed copy to buy. I will get this when it drops in price because I feel $30 is still too much for a downloadable game IMO.
@KnightRider666 You;ll have to clarify your position. It's a boxed game going for $30, minus the box.
@CanisWolfred: In other words, it's not a physical copy(cartridge, instructions, & box).
Nice, can't wait
@theblackdragon I'm behind you all the way. Still waiting for the limited boxed copy run that won't ever seem to come...
The only way Capcom will get any of my money is for a serious sale to occur. Just maybe after that I'll get it digitally.
@CanisWolfred That makes it $40 all the cost with none of the benefits. (I normally give games I don't like away usually about half of what I buy better for my wasted money to benefit someone). Be garbage anyway I have the first DS one cannot even give it away.
@KnightRider666 It will be 40 with the DLC
@unrandomsam: Figures...
Alright! We all love Ace Attorney.
Day 1 download for me. No doubt about it. I'll be staying up til midnight waiting.
Although Capcom, you make me raise an eyebrow by giving Ducktails Remastered, originally a digital only game, a boxed retail release while Ace Attorney, normally a boxed retail series, is getting a digital only release...
But I digress.
@unrandomsam How can you think it is garbage! I really don't understand. It is the best series of video games ever made in my opinion. Seeing as you can not appreciate the story and characters and overall awesomeness, I feel sorry for you...
