LE SO BOUGHT! Lets hope they bring it over.

 

They won't bring it over...

 

Looks like my pessimism was an underestimate! I was holding out hope for a western LE, and Capcom won't even give us a box. This might be a deal breaker.

Here in the United States, we've seen English releases of every Ace Attorney game to date—except for one. Ace Attorney Investigations 2, the sequel to the spinoff that put you in the prosecuting pants of the stylish Miles Edgeworth (as opposed to Phoenix Wright, the hotshot lawyer who stars in most of the Ace Attorney games), never made it to the West in any form.

Most people assumed that Capcom held the game back because Ace Attorney Investigations didn't sell too well, but according to longtime series producer Motohide Eshiro, the localization was actually held up due to scheduling.

"The main reason was just scheduling," Eshiro told me through a translator at E3 today. "Also, the staff for Ace Attorney Investigations 2—after they finished developing the game, they were disbanded and went to different teams, so they weren't in a position to localize."

"Any chance we'll see the game in the future?" I asked.

Eshiro laughed. "Can't make any promises."

Fortunately, the next mainline game in the series, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies, is already confirmed for the West. I just played a bit in English, and so far it's looking as wonderful as expected. Expect more thoughts and coverage in the near future.

 

That is some grade A horseshit but it gets so much better.

 

Eshiro said the digital-only release was due largely in part to the game's development schedule.

 

"The reason we are releasing the game as digital only is not primarily due to a lack of retail support," he said in a recent interview. "One of the main reasons we went for a digital version is it wil be more convenient for the users. We felt that if someone will be interested in Dual Destinies they will want to get it right away, and if we offer a digital version, instead of going to a store however many miles away, they can just download it directly to their 3DS."

 

Eshiro also said the developer wanted to release Dual Destinies in the west as close as possible to its initial Japanese launch date, and due to the game's tight development schedule this necessitated the cut. He added that he wanted players overseas to not have to deal with the long wait typically associated with launching Japanese titles in North America.

 

"We didn't want to have too much lag time between the Japanese and American versions," he said. "Offering a downable version was one of the ways to cut down that lag time."

Christian Svensson, the senior VP of Capcom USA, has opened a thread on the Capcom-Unity board to try and build a case for a physical release of Ace Attorney Dual Destinies in the US. He also mentioned that we should voice our desires for Investigations 2 while we're at it!

 

If you don't already have a Unity account make one and post!

 

The thread is about 6 days old and is 54 pages long so far. If we get all interested parties on hondos to post we could maybe get an additional 3 posts added to that!
