Capcom has brought some fantastic Ace Attorney titles to the West as eShop releases, but so far the spin-off The Great Ace Attorney hasn't followed - there have only been vague and unlikely teases on that front. While we wait, though, The Great Ace Attorney 2 - subtitled 'Ryunosuke Naruhodo's Resolution' - is most definitely on the way in Capcom's homeland.
Announced last year, there's now been an updated trailer that confirms the obvious - that it'll be heading to the 3DS. It doesn't give a final release date or window, with the trailer really being produced to tie-in and celebrate the IP's 15th Anniversary celebrations.
Check it out below, in which we see the return of Sherlock Holmes in a starring role.
Do you still hope to see the first Great Ace Attorney in the West, or do you think these titles are destined to remain as Japan-only releases?

Capcom always keeps a steady stream of releases to remind Western fans that they hate them, on some degree.
Oh, no! As a Western fan of the series, I'm not bitter! breaks a glass bottle he was holding just by his grip Not bitter at all.
A nice little reminder for us so we remember what we're missing out on
Damn it Capcom... At least release it as en eshop game if you can't be bothered to give us a physical release!
#420LocalizeIt
Too bad this will never be localized because it doesn't make sense that Phoenix Wright's ancestor is japanese. Gotta eat sushi in america!
Why can't we get these games its not fair
@zip "Eat your hamburgers, Apollo."
Well... it would be a digital release only anyway if they decided to localize it, which I absolutely don't like.
@zip If that's the excuse they are using, I'm sorry but they are idiots. He can have a japanese ancestor and still live in America. The fact that Sherlock Holmes speaks perfect japanese is more absurd than this
Capcom has said in the past that they want to release Great Ace Attorney but can't for unspecified reasons. It's likely because some of the Sherlock Holmes stories are still under copyright in the US.
Now THAT is how you do the whole "toon-shading" look and style right.
I want more games with specifically this kind of toon-shading--all kinds of games.
For example, I want a new mostly side-scrolling but 3D Dungeons & Dragons arcade-style game with toon-shading done that well:

Or how about something like a new Alien vs Predator done similarly:

I love the look of those old arcade games, and we kinda don't ever really see that gorgeous and colourful look and style in videogames anymore for the most part, which makes me sad.

The only time a Western Ace Attorney fan can cry is when it's all over.
Still waiting on the first Great Ace Attorney to come to America.....
@G-Boy For sure!
Do you hear this?
It's the sound of Capcom mocking us, yet again.
Though the copyright on Sherlock Holmes makes sense
Literally unplayable
...It can't be a coincidence that the AA spinoffs became exclusively Japan-only around the same time the KH Final Mixes finally got released internationally.
I just really want this game and its predecessor. See my profile pic to the left that I took two days to make y'all
This is the reason that I chose to go to Teknikum (highschool), and why I have chosen to take japanese classes, it is all for the sake of becoming a game translator!!! One day I hope to work for Nintendo so that I can be part of the team that brings over games from japan to EU, but first I need to graduate...
Has a big Ace Attorney fan, always nice to see these reminders that Capcom hates me.
Well there's at least a fan translation of the first game that's making good progress. They already translated the demo and the first case is said to be finished "soon".
I legit hate Capcom for not doing anything with DGS. Hopefully a mainline-series entry is announced for Switch in the near future.
@ollietaro lol, fantastic gif, two days well spent!!!
@doll Thank you, doll!
Dear Capcom:
Can we please get a Ace Attorney collection on Switch?
And while we are at it, the DS games on Wii U's virtual console.
