The Great Ace Attorney Has Awesome Box Art in Japan

if the game is a eshop only. i would blame capcom for not releasing a physical copies of the game

also i like that the game will also set in England, not just set in japan

I don't care whether this is eShop, physical copy, or if the only way to buy it is to get a giant stack of paper with the binary for it sent in a package and I need to scan every page in bright light with the 3DS' camera. I NEED THIS.

This game is going to be perfect for me! I love the sherlock holmes series, and capcom managed to get his way of observing quite right for his gameplay! Also, the attorney sections look even better and more involved this way!

Haha, as if Professor Layton hadn't already played out most of the Sherlock Holmes tropes already, now Ace Attorney has to go there too?

Well, I'm not exactly unhappy about it, and the Japanese can't seem to get enough of Holmes or the Victorian era in general.

Yo Capcom, I'll buy a physical version of this day one. (Just like I did with Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright.)

After the crap Capcom are pulling with Resident Evil, I'm not buying anything they release.

Honestly, I fear Capcom will pull an Ace Attorney Investigations 2 on us and not localise it at all. Which would suck, because I /need/ this game.

CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

physical or not, I'm getting this

@RainbowGazelle Your loss. Not buying this game won't make Capcom want to put Resident Evil games on Nintendo consoles. It just reinforces the belief that Nintendo fans don't buy third party games, and you also miss out on a potentially great game.

What does the text over Big Ben say?

I hope this game gets localised soon!!!

I'd want to hear a western announcement for this before I even start thinking of a physical version since I'd gladly take digital-only if that means we'll be getting the game.

Also the artwork looks really nice.

@Snargledon ; AAI2 had the unfortunate problem of being the successor to a relatively overlooked game, even by fans. So they didn't bother bringing the 2nd part out of Japan. But tbh, I don't see a reason to worry about this one getting shipped one way or another to the rest of the world, seeing as we were able to have our fun with DD and PLvs.PW.

I'm already super excited for this one, looks promising and I too am a big fan of Holmes. c:

I still prefer the dog version. :3

@TobiasAmaranth Dog version was definitely nice.

But hot damn, this game looks great. I really need to power through the Ace Attorney games, since it's obvious they simply ooze charm...

Maybe the 3DS series will be re-released physically in the west for Nintendo's next handheld like it was in the DS era - basically just DS ports of Japanese GBA games.

Yep, I'm playing Trilogy now, already downloaded Dual Destinies and will download any available Ace Attorney game on the 3DS. Better than I expected (and I'm quite picky about games lately). Getting older LOL.
