The Great Ace Attorney is just about ready for its launch in Japan. But before that happens, Famitsu shares a few more details about the 3DS game in its latest issue, some of which comes from an interview with Shu Takumi and Shintaro Kojima.

Here’s the latest on The Great Ace Attorney:

– Tobias Gregson is a detective at Scotland Yard
– He’s noted for his love of fish and chips
– Tobias also appeared in the Sherlock Holmes novels Iris writes
– This is both a source of pride and vexation to him
– Takumi says Tobias serves as something of the game’s Gumshoe equivalent
– Holmes’ and Iris’ home shown in Famitsu, along with Holmes when he’s not dressed up to go investigating
– Episode 2 doesn’t have a trial section
– Writing the game’s script only wrapped up in April
– After writing Phoenix so long, writing Apollo had been difficult and that influenced how he wrote Ryuunosuke
– If possible, they’d love to do a sequel
– Estimated to be 30 hours

The Great Ace Attorney is due out in Japan on July 9.
