Capcom’s brief response to Phoenix Wright – Dual Destinies’ “M” rating
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series has been around for quite awhile. But the latest entry, Dual Destinies, is involved with a couple of firsts. It’s the first release on the 3DS. It’s also the first game in the franchise to receive an “M” rating from the ESRB.
Capcom isn’t saying much about the ESRB’s decision to give out that classification. When asked for a comment, the company would only say, “Due to the nature of the various crimes and storylines in this latest title in the series ESRB deemed the title an M.”
