Ace Attorney 5 will be launching in Japan as a retail product. In the west, where the game is known as “Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies”, Capcom has opted to make the game available only through the 3DS eShop.
Following today’s announcement, we asked Capcom about the decision to bring Dual Destinies to North America and Europe as a digital title. The company explained that it “wanted as many people as possible to be able to enjoy the game for as long as possible.” While Capcom does “understand that this decision may upset fans who wanted to have a physical version of the title to add to their collection”, it feels that “this direction is the best to take to ensure that fans are able to enjoy the game at their own leisure.”
Capcom provided Nintendo Everything with the following comment:
The Game Bakers is bringing its mobile title Squids to the Wii U and 3DS eShops. A release is tentative scheduled for the summer.
Squids is an action/RPG title that sees a team of squid fighters taking on the powers of evil. Some of the action gameplay is reminiscent of Angry Birds, though the RPG elements have players developing their characters and equipping them with more powerful items.
The Wii U and 3DS version will incorporate levels from the original game and Squids Wild West while also incorporating content such as new characters. More details will be shared in the future.
Capcom has made it official: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies will only be available through the 3DS eShop. This was first hinted at through today’s announcement.
