This may have been expected, but we now know that QR code event distributions for Pokemon Sun/Moon will be region locked. That information comes from the official site about the Magearna distribution in Japan. It states that the Magearna QR code received from Pokemon Ga-Olé, usable with Sun/Moon, can only be scanned into Japanese versions of the games.

Capcom wants to localize The Great Ace Attorney, “certain circumstances” preventing it

Posted on 8 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.”
