Capcom wants to localize The Great Ace Attorney, “certain circumstances” preventing it
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 12 Comments
The Great Ace Attorney debuted in Japan last year. Sadly, there hasn’t been any news about it heading west. That’s not due to a lack of interest from Capcom though.
Speaking with GameSpot, Ace Attorney series producer Motohide Eshiro mentioned that Capcom wants to localize The Great Ace Attorney. However, “a number of circumstances” are preventing that from happening at the moment.
Eshiro said:
“Unfortunately there’s a number of circumstances… We absolutely do want to bring it to the West, but unfortunately due to these circumstances right now… I’m really really sorry! Nowadays on the Internet lots of fans are directly asking us, ‘Where’s Daigyakuten Saiban?’ On livestreams, even in the Japanese ones, people from the West will write in and ask where it is. Every time we say, we’re sorry! Certain circumstances are kind of getting in the way.”

There could come a day when Nintendo comes out with a new Zelda spin-off that stars Sheik. That’s based on new comments from Shigeru Miyamoto, who indicated to GameRant that there have been discussions “within the development team” regarding “how it might be cool to have a game” with the character.
Miyamoto went on to say that such a project wouldn’t be “an impossibility.”
His words in full:
“Within the development team, too, there have been talks about how it might be cool to have a game that features Sheik as a protagonist. It’s having maybe a Zelda spin-off with Sheik as a protagonist, for example, I don’t think that’s an impossibility.”
