Ace Attorney Trilogy Will Boast Visual and Dialogue Tweaks, $29.99 Price Tag

Feel like I too often whinge about pricing on here, yet I'm going to do it again; : ) I really hope it's no more than £19.99 in the U.K. If it isn't I'll get it for sure.

I just hope they don't tinker with the price in Europe.

It's a more than fair price considering the used ds individual cartridges Will cost around 20usd each

Even with improvements over the iOS version, twice the price seems a bit much.

For 20€ this surely would've been an instabuy.
For everything above i have to think long and hard when it comes to downloadable stuff.
Especially since Dual Destinies cost less.

This or Steel Empire eh?

Yep, sold. Fair price. I'll trade in my physical DS copies for about $20 credit at my local used game shop.

A classic trilogy I loved and played on the original DS. Will I replay them by purchasing this particular release?

Sure, why not?

Is Capcom going to release a text-based game in Europe again without a French, Italian, German, Spanish translation?! My english is decent enough to understand and enjoy the game, but if Capcom wants to get away with not translating their full priced text based games again, then we (the audience) are doing something wrong.

Great value and great news! Assuming the European price is a fair transition : )

@CaviarMeths Whoa your Gamestop gives you more than $5 on your trade-ins?!

I have an objection: I want a physical release for this. €30 is a fair price for a collection in a box, not for digital code only.

I can see it being a €30 digital price tag. I was hoping for a €25 or less tag. I really want this game but €30 I will need to think about it even though I want it.

Dialogue tweeks ? So even more typos ?

I can bite at $30 dollars since this will be cheaper than buying them separately on Wiiware even if it's by a little.

guess they'll fix "the miracle never happen" and that's it..... I would have preferred it being 19.99 but I'll pay the 29.99 because I want to play my part in ensuring future installments get localized

Definitely getting this. It's a good price for three games plus I don't have the DS versions.

€25 (or less) and I'll definitely buy it the day it comes out.

For $30, I have no objections!

Same price you'd pay for the three titles on WiiWare, but now has less spelling errors! What a deal! Oh, and it also looks better, too.

I might bite on this one. I've only played the first so 2 of these are new to me. Plus it will be nice to have them all in one place. Maybe I'll also wait for a sale cus I don't need this now anyways.

@TeeJay Not a Gamestop lol. Locally owned place. They give me about $5-15 each for the games I bring in (granted, I bring in games in great condition, with cases and manuals, etc). Bought the Borderlands 2 Vita bundle ($200) there a few months back entirely on store credit.

Fair price, but I already own them. I'm not sure what I'll end up doing.

@Spoony_Tech
Second game, Justice for All, is OK, but not as good as the first. The third game, Trials and Tribulations, is amazing, though. It builds off of the first two games to provide an utterly memorable story.

@Ralizah That's good to know, Thanks!

@spizzamarozzi I really don't care if they don't translate the games, everyone should have more than enough English knowledge from attending classes. Nothing mayor is translated into Dutch and you don't see me complaining

Hold It! I thought this was going to be $20, not $30. While I will still buy it, I am a bit annoyed at the price.

Well, it is a whole lot of content, so it's probably worth it. I'm not a fan of the new visuals, but they should look better on the 3DS than on the iPad.

HOLD IT!!! Just look at the second-hand price of the three games together and considered the improvements made. Surely everyone will see it's well worth the price.

I still think that story and gameplay-wise, Ace Attorney 4 is the best one, but it never gets any love. Never went to Wii, iOS, anything.

@Knuckles Why would you expect $20?

Anyways, this is pretty much what I expected! Definitely looking forward to this. All I'll have left to grab will be Apollo Justice, too.

I'll hold out for a retail release. If that happens then I'll happily buy; if not then I'll happily pass.

Pricing seems fair considering the content, but I'm just not a fan of digital content.

I already have the physical copies, but I'll definitely be double dipping! The price is fair since buying each game on the DS nowadays would cost more; it's about $20 for each game, I believe? $10 per game is fine by me.

I doubt the graphical update will be as good as Dual Destinies.

Ill probably get it. Loved Duel Destinies and I haven't played the originals.

I have played all the Ace Attorney games that have been released so far. I sold all my DS games a few years back though, so will probably buy these again just for the 3DS.

Not in my priority list. Digital only looks good for Capcom. As I said in the forums, the games have poor replay value and are somewhat niche, so no one will return them after beating them or buy used.

It's a rip-off but I love the games.

Wish they would consider the US audience more in making the games. I don't mind Japanese cultural references, but one of the DLC episodes was so niche that they decided to forego localizing it altogether. And they do a pretty poor job of proofreading the dialogue, which is what they're alluding to when they say you'll spot differences, I'm sure.

The point I'm trying to make is.. I'm not sure. Make Ghost Trick 2, I guess. Really, though. Make Ghost Trick 2, please!

Just picked up every AA game released in the US last week, even Investigations. They cost about $130 between them all. The original three cost me $60, so this is a steal people.
If this one ever goes on sale I'll be sure to grab it, but $30 for three games I have recently played through is a bit much. If I had never played, I'd jump on this immediately... because this is 60 HOURS of gameplay people.

@Tasuki - I more than anyone would love a special edition with all the bells. The massive problem Capcom have is the game series has never had much reply value as @sinalefa has rightly stated. The amount of people that have played this game series through a second-hand purchase is very high.

It's good that the digital market exists as its saved this series for the time being. The digital download provides a profitable means of release for Capcom in the localization of current and future installments of Ace Attorney.

I hope this isn't too big in blocks only got like 4k blocks left lol

It's a good thing I forgot these were on WiiWare, otherwise I would have gotten them already. Since I've yet to ever play a Phoenix Wright game, $30 for three games sounds fine to me.

Absolutely buying it. I've wanted to try the AA series for a while now, and at a cheaper price than I could get the DS versions for, this is perfect.

As much as I like Phoenix Wright the games are something you really can only play through once as once you already know what happens the excitement of the game is kind of lost.

Also, where the heck is Edgeworth 2 Capcom?

Sorry but id rather just buy the originals and have them physical. Plus there is just to many games and so little money

The caption should have said "Any objections, Lady?" XD

@Lizuka Well, let's look at the cases piecemeal, and then as a whole. The first case has a really awful amnesia gimmick and an obnoxious villain. Of course, the first game has a VERY basic first case, but this one is even less fun to play, somehow. So: worst tutorial case in the series. The second case is decent and adds a number of elements to the series, but it is the only one that is relevant to the larger plot of the series. The third case is almost universally reviled. The fourth and final case, while pretty good, is, for me, the worst final case in the original trilogy. It's just an isolated incident that comes out of nowhere and has no larger bearing on the series. It does make for an interesting case, though, I will admit. So, for the shortest game in the series, it sure is lacking in consistency. Moreover, my biggest problem with it is that, unlike the first and third games, which gradually build up these big stories, the second game is very episodic. It's not entirely a waste: it introduces Pearl, Franziska, and fleshes out the situation with Maya's family. However, it feels like a prologue to Trials and Tribulations. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as it means the third game can just focus on being awesome, but it doesn't really have it's own identity.

Anyhow, those are my feelings on the situation.

@Ralizah I think you analyzed the second game fairly well, it was the worst in the series, even when I first played it years ago the first three cases were easy and unmemorable but I did enjoy the last case very much, but I do not think it should be penalized for not being related to the larger plot, besides being the stand out case for Phoenix.

@One-Winged-Pit Yeah, thanks for that spoiler alert. Not. -_- Next time, make it more clear, please.

I thought they were releasing a physical package, so it's download only? Or will there be a physical copy?

I was interested up until "digital download" so I'll skip it.

I'm cool with this. Price sounds fair.

@brewsky Sorry if that was spoiled for you, I did not think it was that big of a spoiler to worry about but I changed it.

@One-Winged-Pit
I'm not really penalizing the last case. I mean, I love RftA, and that doesn't really relate to the larger plot either. I just didn't care for how episodic the whole game felt. It's not a bad game, by any stretch of the imagination, but I think the first and last game set a really high bar for the series that the second one just can't reach.

Only if it was physical.

I wonder if the dialogue tweaks are removal of pop culture references, & also if the visual changes will mean style change, or simple/subtle tweaks to character designs?

I'm not sure I'm interested in a game with little replay value.

well im not complaining if its $30 for all 3, its basically $10ea with some updates like visuals and 3d (though i rarely use it, it is nice to nee it in 3d once in a while) capcom is stepping up, even if its baby steps, about supporting nintendo more, well mostly the 3ds, now if they can start focusing on wii u i would be happy, not just vc games but some of their other games like a new RE for wii u i dont get why people are super against digital only, if its still coming then you should support, im still planning on getting dual destinies, sure i want the physical but if its only digital then i wont complain, its still coming. think about it, devs that start out with digital only are not stingy, they wanna impress the investors because its what they tell them, should the sales expectation fall short then no retail. look at senran kagura burst, xseed wants to do retail too but people are just too selfish to support, they protest and that doesnt work, only 0.5% of the time it does. so if enough people buy the game then we might see a retail version but we wont if you guys keep protesting.

@Manaphy2007

So should I buy the digital version that I don't want to have a minor possibility of getting the physical version that I want?

I am happy with that price and I'm looking forward to it. I never played the original games and always wanted to.

"Any objections?"

Yes, I would have paid 30....if it was on a card!

It may only be me, but I am an Ace Attorney veteran and I replay the heck out of the cases. It's like watching an anime episode everytime.

30 bucks for a digital-only copy? Um... well. I was hoping it would be 20, but 30 seems a bit much for a digital game. I'll have to think about whether I want to buy or not. Would've been an instant buy at 20; 30 just seems too steep.

Would rather get a physical copy if I'm paying that much for it. Though, I suppose technically it's the same price as buying the 3 WiiWare versions. (Which are $10 each.)

Plus at least the Eshop tends to have unexpected temporary sales, and price cuts. (Got Rayman 3D & Rayman Orgins for 8 bucks each from a recent sale the Eshop did, and they're also $30 games.)

I own all the original carts so I shouldn't really get this....but I most likely will Love this series of games.

I still don't understand why this is an eShop only release. Really, I would buy a physical copy day one. But I'm not sure a digital version is worth it.

I already own the original DS games. And they have left out Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice? Isn't that the game that counts as number four in the storyline? The game linking the trilogy and Dual Destenies for the 3DS?

I may get this, but it will really depend on what other games I end up getting & the chances that I'll buy it increase if it's on sale sometime. I can't lend this to my sister, and that will be the main reason for me to get this in the first place (and as it's impossible to gift eShop games that's not an option either). The second reason would be "just because I want it in my collection" but that reason kind of falls apart because there won't be a physical release...
