Last week, Capcom confirmed that Ace Attorney is heading to Switch in some fashion. Kotaku UK shares more on the company’s apparent plans.

If the site is to be believed, two compilations will be launched in the first half of the 2018 / 2019 financial year, which falls between April and October 2018. The initial release will be a bundle of the first three Ace Attorney entries. The other, naturally, is a bundle of games four through six.

Kotaku UK adds that Capcom is also working on a brand new, mainline Ace Attorney title for Switch. It’s supposedly scheduled for a late 2018 simultaneous global release. The site goes on to say that it will have “five cases at launch, and features Phoenix Wright returning as the playable protagonist of the story.”

GamesIndustry reports that Nintendo will begin to ship its products to European retailers closer to launch than in the past. By doing so, the company is looking to ensure that release dates are not broken.

Today’s news will have an impact on the smaller stores who order their stock through distribution in particular. These retailers won’t have as much time as they did before to ensure that products are delivered to customers on time. They may have to spend more on next-day delivery so that items are provided on release day.

Nintendo said in a statement that it is “consistently reviewing its shopping schedule” so that its European release dates are honored.
