One of the posters depicts pixel art of the characters found in the game, and among them is a character from a previous Ace Attorney game: Ema Skye.

Both of these are exclusive to the Japanese e-Capcom store include a newly-written original drama CD, a visual postcard book, Bokuto’s tote bag, a Kuttari plushie, and an original box.

Gyakuten Gekijou”, and, for early buyers, three “Special Costumes.”
