Apollo Justice Ace Attorney Trilogy release date

Capcom today unveiled the final release date for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy during the Tokyo Game Show. It will head to Switch on January 25, 2024.

Capcom first announced Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy for Switch back in June. The company originally said it would be out in early 2024.

Monster Hunter Rise collaborations ending

Monster Hunter Rise has been home to a number of different collaborations, but soon some of these will no longer be available.

For Sonic the Hedgehog, this applies to the game’s event quests, “Sonic Costume” Palico layered armor, “Canyne Tails” Canyne layered armor, Sonic figurine, Knuckles figurine, and Tails figurine plus the “Sonic Wear” Hunter layered armor.

Apollo Justice Ace Attorney Trilogy physical North America

Original: New retailer listings have surfaced for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy that indicate Capcom will be shipping out the collection at retail.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy was already confirmed to be getting a boxed copy in Japan. However, Capcom said in its original announcement that it would be digital-only in the west. We’re not sure what changed along the way – especially since Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy only had its physical version in Japan and that never changed – but fans will be happy to hear the news.

Viewtiful Joe Okami Hideki Kamiya

Hideki Kamiya has again expressed interest in working on Viewtiful Joe as well as Okami. Kamiya – who recently left PlatinumGames and was director on both projects – made a few brief remarks about both IPs in a new video published on his YouTube channel today.

As for Viewtiful Joe, Kamiya said that he “actually had the story for a third Viewtiful Joe all thought out.” He also feels that he left Okami “unfinished”.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy physical

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy marks another Capcom release that won’t have a physical release in the west, but it will be sold at retail in Japan. Additionally, English support has been confirmed on the cartridge.

With Switch being a region-free console, anyone can import Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy and play through all of the games in the collection. Aside from English and Japanese, it will also include French, German, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.

Ghost Trick return interview fans

In an interview with Famitsu this week, original Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective director Shu Takumi and new producer Shingo Izumi discussed how the game’s recent return came to be.

You might be interested to learn that fans played a pretty big role in making the re-release possible. Aside from a petition that gained notable traction, Izuma said the title “ranked first on a list of games fans wanted remakes of, far ahead of the game in second place.” Yuki Kaji, who played Phoenix Wright in the Ace Attorney anime, also told Takumi at one point about how the mobile version no longer worked. That prompted Takumi to reach out to original producer Hironobu Takeshita, which “really became the start of everything.”

Capcom has gone live with an official trailer for Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. This release marks the return of the DS game created by Shu Takumi, who’s led the way on Ace Attorney.

Ghost Trick Phantom Detective sequel

Could Capcom make a sequel to Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective one day? Shu Takumi, the game’s creator (who’s also behind the Ace Attorney series), isn’t committed to the idea, but isn’t ruling out the possibility either.

Game Informer recently asked Takumi straight up about sequel chances. He responded by saying “it would be difficult” given how the story is told in one complete game, but “the powers of the dead that this game introduces may hold some possibility.”
