Alongside some new videos, Capcom also revealed some details about the DLC that The Great Ace Attorney is getting.

The DLC will come in weekly episodes called “issues” of “Randst Magazine”, priced at 300 yen each. If you know your Holmes lore, you’ll know that this is a reference to Strand Magazine, a magazine in which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories were originally published before they were released as books and anthologies.

Each “issue” of Randst Magazine will feature some short episodic content along with some making-of / behind the scenes content like artwork and music. If you buy the game before July 19th, you’ll get the first issue for free.

The Great Ace Attorney will be released in Japan on July 9th. A Western release date has not yet been announced.

Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale was the best-selling game in Japan for the week of June 15. In Media Create‘s latest report, the sales tracker shares more information about the game’s performance.

Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale managed to sell 46,000 copies in its first week. With that, it sold through 58.99 percent of its initial shipment.

When compared to previous Harvest Moon (Bokuj? Monogatari) games on 3DS, the first week sell-through was lower and the game got off to a slow start. Harvest Moon: A New Beginning had a 74.23 percent sell-through rate and sold 81,000 copies in its first week in 2012 while Story of Seasons had a 73.07 percent sell-through rate with 131,000 copies sold in its first week in 2014. As Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale is strongly derived from the PopoloCrois series, it can be said that the game hasn’t brought in many Harvest Moon fans yet.
