Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 6 is heading to Japan in early June - it's definitely coming to the West but, as yet, no release window has been given. We may have an idea of what it'll be called, however, thanks to a cheeky 3DS Homebrew user that made a copy of the recently released demo in Japan.
By dumping the demo a user on court-records.net could see the source file name, which suggests the English name for the game could be Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice.
The format of the name makes sense, mimicking the naming convention used for predecessor Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies. The storyline also revolves around messages and visions from spirits in what looks to be a mythical turn of events, so Spirit of Justice would make sense.
In any case, it's an indication of what the name might be in the West; hopefully release details aren't far away - based on past form it's likely to be an eShop-only title outside of Japan.
Are you looking forward to Ace Attorney 6, and would you like Spirit of Justice to be its name? Let us know.

Now I'm curious, is this just a English title in the demo or does the demo support full English?
I don't care what it's called as long as we get it soon. Like maybe before next April would be great.
Sounds nice, but I want the title already Capcom! In a physical format this time.
Is this the Phoenix Wright game where the setting takes place in, well, not ancient times but isn't set in a modern-day setting like the series typically is? (I think this is the one but it's been so long since I've heard, read, or seen anything regarding it.) In any event, it'd likely to be too much to ask Crapcom to give us a physical release so I'm not holding my breath.
@c1pher_c0mplet
You're thinking of The Great Ace Attorney.
It seems extremely unlikely that Capcom will localise this entry sadly.
@RupeeClock Ah, thanks. I thought the game shown in the article didn't look "correct." If I had to choose between the two to have localized for North America, I would pick The Great Ace Attorney. Oh well, guess I'll just have to import it. Gives me a good excuse to brush up on my Japanese, anyway.
Hmm...spirit of justice sounded familiar, so I googled it, and, from Wikipedia, found it's a real thing in the court system. It's a sculpture that depicts Lady Justice with her arms in the air, holding nothing compared to the normal depiction of her. She stands with her male counterpart the Majesty of Justice in the Great Hall of the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building in Washington, D.C., the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Justice. She is not wearing a blindfold to symbolize "blind justice."
It could be called 'Phoenix Wright: AA - If You Buy This Game You Are A Giant Loser, That's Right A Giant Loser' for all I care and I'd still buy it day one!
So this isn't the Sherlock Holmes AA game?
Either way new AA is a good thing, though a Ghost Trick sequel would be great.
Sounds okay to me. In line with the series' usual, corny sub-titles.
I can't wait to get my hands on the game.
@ekreig I would also buy it
As a real life lawyer, I'm all about truth and justice, so I approve of this title
Still mad they aren't localizing the Sherlock game though.
Oh great, so Apollo is a ghost now?
Kidding aside, I approve of this subtitle. The thing that @Darkwario1 discovered makes it even better.
@BensonUii Thank you, I'll write that up
Ugh... Nintendo just confirmed this is an eshop exclusive outside of Japan... Capcom really likes digging their graves
Uh, seriously? What was the point of this? An English trailer and the title of course was released today.
@Manjushri Wait, you didn't like Dual Destinies? Dual Destinies was amazing!
Most people call either JFA or AJ:AA the least good ones. I haven't played AJ, so I don't have an opinion on that one but JFA was pretty good, the final case is amazing, but most people's gripe with it is the 3rd case. I thought it was alright though.
Perhaps if you gave your reasons for disliking DD then I could tell you if AA6 would make you happy, because I know that some things are different.
@RupeeClock Sad times! This game looked interesting (I thought this new game was going to be / was the same as The Great Ace Attorney). I liked the idea of The Great Ace Attorney. Now I'll have to check and see what this one's about (and whether I think it's worth a Day 1 purchase, being digital only...)
No Objections!!
@Peace-Boy People usually call JFA or DD the worst game. I personally find DD to be the worst. People got over AJ hate a year ago or so.
@JubilifeRival I've seen more love for Dual Destinies than hate. It was also in WatchMojo's top 10 Capcom games.
Seriously, what's wrong with you people? There's nothing wrong with Dual Destinies. Only things it misses are Maya and Gumshoe.
At least it had Edgeworth and Pearl, they were great in their representation.
