Eshiro now says Phoenix Wright – Dual Destines won’t be getting a physical release overseas
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies will not be released overseas as a physical product, according to producer Motohide Eshiro.
Eshiro shared the following in a new Capcom-Unity interview:
In response to fan feedback we looked into a western physical release of Dual Destinies but from the beginning of the project, one of our goals has been to bring the game to the western market much more quickly than we have been able to in the past. As text adventures, the Ace Attorney games require a lot of time for localization, so we really moved the proverbial mountains and had a lot of people work very hard to get the text localized as quickly as possible—while of course maintaining the high quality level fans are accustomed to.
As part of this, we made the decision to release on digital only in the west in order to take manufacturing time out of the equation and allow the release date to be as early as possible. So the answer is, no, Dual Destinies will be a digital download-only release in the west.
Capcom announced that the publisher would be bringing Dual Destinies to the west in May. The news was met with some backlash due to the eShop-only launch. Just a couple of months ago, however, Eshiro left the door open to a physical version. It sounds like such a possibility is no longer in the cards.

Level-5 announced a new Layton game during its “Vision” event in Japan just a short while ago. However, this isn’t the same kind of Professor Layton that fans have come to love.
What Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino demonstrated was a RPG puzzle game. Not much about the project was said, but we do know that it’s coming to the 3DS and iOS/Android.
We’ll have the first brief footage of Layton 7 shortly.
