Nippon Ichi has reported its latest financial results. In the company’s report, it’s confirmed that Disgaea 5 Complete has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide.

This number was to be expected given what we previously knew about the game’s performance. While it started slowly in Japan, Disgaea 5 Complete had been off to a strong start in the west. NIS America president Takuro Yamashita said a few months ago that pre-orders were at 110,000 copies in the west. 78,000 units had been reserved in the US, along with 36,000 copies in Europe.

A few days ago, Capcom announced that Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney is on the way to 3DS. Like the last few Ace Attorney games, it’s digital only in North America. Capcom is going all out in Japan, however.

Amazon provides a look at the Japanese boxart for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney on 3DS. Unsurprisingly, it’s pretty identital to the DS original.

Aside from the standard game, Capcom is preparing the Ace Attorney 1 – 6 Premium Edition pack. Priced at 150,000 yen ($1,365), it contains all six main Ace Attorney games, an Ace Attorney 4 mini soundtrack CD, an original box, a set of 15 postcards, a box for those postcards signed by art director Takuro Fuse, a sheet signed by Ace Attorney designer Shu Takumi and a 7 gram pure gold memorial plate. The bundle is exclusive to E-Capcom.

Thanks to Fan for the tip.
