“Right now, in Japan, it’s been extremely popular, and we’ve gotten a lot of great feedback. At this moment, we still haven’t really decided on what to do. We kind of want to make a sequel, but we haven’t gotten enough feedback from the players. As we get more feedback from the users in Japan or even in America, then we’ll consider maybe making a sequel.” – producer Motohide Eshiro

As far as I know, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth has been received well. Sales of the game have been strong in Japan and it received an outstanding score in Famitsu, so hopefully that will carry over when it launches in North America.
