Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice DLC will be released overseas
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 1 Comment
The eShop listing for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice is now live in North America. On it, something is confirmed that we were all more or less counting on.
In one of the screenshots, the English menu is shown confirming Spirit of Justice’s DLC for the west. It’s right there when you start the game under “Extras and DLC”. There really was no reason to think that North America and Europe wouldn’t have the same access as Japan given how Capcom handled the series’ last release, Dual Destinies. Still, there you go.
As for what you can look forward to, the big addition in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice was the extra “Turnabout Across Time” case. Capcom also created costumes for Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, and Athena Cykes plus a couple of brief non-canon stories that mainly featured the former two characters.

Nikkei reports that, in conjunction with East Japan Marketing & Communications, Capcom will be making a game for Nintendo’s handheld in Japan “that draw on players’ train ridership and other data captured from transit smart cards.”
A system is already in place which uses “Sony’s FeliCa contactless smart card technology to read transit card data into the 3DS.” East Japan Railway’s Suica and West Japan Railway’s Icoca are among ten smartcard systems that are compatible. Ridership data such as station entries is mainly used, though personal information is not stored.
Nikkei further reports that “Capcom aims to use transit data to enhance gamers’ experience, for example by rewarding players visiting certain stations with special items.” One social game is already on the way that features over 9,000 stations in Japan.
