Capcom says Ace Attorney is “doing exceptionally well” worldwide
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
Famitsu interviewed Capcom COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto this week, and some of the more interesting comments came about when the Japanese magazine asked about a couple of the company’s older IPs.
Tsujimoto indicated that being able to sell things digitally allows for more possibilities these days. He brought up Mega Man and how Capcom has a better understanding of how much something like the just-released Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection could sell (which is already at over one million copies by the way).
Perhaps the most significant comment was Tsujimoto stating that Ace Attorney “is currently doing exceptionally well across the globe.” Capcom is focusing on the fact that the series was created by Shu Takumi to promote the upcoming re-release of Ghost Trick on new platforms since he led the way on that title as well.

Update (4/22): Play-Asia now has pre-orders here. Given Capcom’s other Switch releases in Japan, it should support English.
Original (4/21): It’s been a great day for Ace Attorney fans as both The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures and The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve will finally be released in the west. Even better, both will be sold together for the first time on Switch as The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles.
It was announced earlier today that Capcom will be offering The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy in a new bundle. Although Ace Attorney Turnabout Collection will be digital-only in the west, Capcom is preparing a physical release for Japan.
To recap, here’s how Capcom is distributing the latest Ace Attorney releases:

System: Switch
Release date: April 9, 2019
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
It’s not often that a game can make a debate over the date on a receipt into a matter of life and death, but that’s exactly the kind of storytelling that characterizes the Ace Attorney franchise.

Capcom has now seen fit to bundle the first three entries into the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, marking the franchise’s debut on HD home consoles with a small handful of modern changes. Of course, this begs the question: so many years after their initial releases, can the original Ace Attorney games still make a convincing case for themselves? Let’s commence our investigation and find out.
