“Capcom USA are huge fans of the Ace Attorney series, and would love to be able to bring it over. Stay tuned…” – Seth Killian, Sr. Manager, Community
I think it’s a pretty surefire bet that Gyakuten Kenji will arrive in North America. There was a trademark found for the title as “Ace Attorney Investigations,” so I think it’s just a matter of when Capcom officially announces that they’re bringing the game to the states.

“They gave us the tools we needed and let us run with it. There’s no creative input from Nintendo, only technical input where the game must meet certain standards to ensure it doesn’t brick people’s Wiis. It’s just a godsend for developers who don’t want their ideas compromised. Plus, if the game doesn’t sell well, we can generally shrug it off and begin work on the next one.” – Medaverse lead designer Jesse Lowther
This is really great news to hear. Naturally, you would want ideas to flourish on WiiWare, so by not interfering with the creative process, developers can bring some truly unique content to the service.
