Famitsu officially confirmed Ace Attorney 5’s release date for Japan this week. In the meantime, series fans in the west are now wondering when the game will arrive in their territory.
Capcom has been quiet when it comes to Ace Attorney 5 news for overseas territories, but it sounds like we’ll be hearing something fairly soon. Capcom USA’s senior VP Christian Svensson recently wrote on the company’s official forums that an update will be coming “in the not so distant future”.
“AA5 is coming along great. I saw a build last month when I was in Osaka. We’ll have some news for Western fans in the not so distant future (we know you want to know and we know you know the Japan dates). Hang in there…”
The Cocoto franchise is no stranger to Nintendo platforms. The Wii, DS, and 3DS have collectively seen numerous series entries.
Cocoto will now be making the jump to the Wii U. Neko Entertainment has announced that it is collaborating with Bigben Interactive on a new Cocoto title for the console. For the time being, it seems as though a release is only planned for European retail.
“Actually, we’re also working on a new Cocoto title with Bigben Interactive, which will be released in in the European retail market. We’ll surely continue to develop downloadable games; it is, to us, future in many ways.”
I’m not sure which I’m going to pick yet (so many options!), but the new Yoshi’s Island is certainly a contender…
This is a two question survey that requires no signing up, accounts, clicking through ads, or anything. Just answer a required question, answer a non-required question (if you want) and make your voice heard in yet another NintendoEverything reader survey poll thing! Results will be read in the form of our top ten list on the next podcast, and if you opted to answer the written question your answer could be read on the show! So don’t say anything ridiculous.
Thanks very much. As stated above the question for you guys this week is “Which announcement from the April 17th Nintendo Direct did you enjoy the most?”
Famicom Tantei Club: Kieta K?keisha will be hitting the Japanese eShop as a Famicom download on April 24 for 500 yen. Screenshots of the game can be found above.
Adventure Island II will be hitting the Japanese eShop as a Famicom download on April 24 for 500 yen. Screenshots of the game can be found above.
Kung Fu Rabbit is just a couple of weeks away from hitting the North American Wii U eShop. Neko Entertainment QA manager Sébastien Chipot confirmed to I Heart Nintendo that a release is planned for May 2.
Chipot said:
“The game has been approved by Nintendo and the release date has been set to May 2. We really wanted to have the two versions released at the same time, or at least with one or two weeks after, to avoid frustration from the American players.”
Kung Fu Rabbit launched in Europe today. The game can be purchased for £4.49.
