The Legend of Heroes III: The White Witch is Coming to PC and Consoles

Neowiz, the developer of Lies of P (among other games), has entered into a deal with Falcom to develop and publish The Legend of Heroes III: The White Witch for PC and consoles, as reported here by Gematsu.

In case you’re unfamiliar with the history of Falcom’s RPGs, the Trails series is itself part of a larger series called The Legend of Heroes.

Now we have to get into some confusing numbering. The Legend of Heroes III: The White Witch was the start of the Gagharv trilogy, but that’s not the real confusing part.

No, the real confusion comes in with its English release, because The Legend of Heroes IV was released in North America first and dropped the number from the title. When The Legends of Heroes III was localized, they then numbered it like it was the second title.

So the Legend of Heroes III: The White Witch and The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch are the same game, and it’s the first game of a trilogy.

On top of the confusing renumbering, the English translations are reportedly not so good. That makes it exciting to hear about a remake… except there was controversy around Neowiz earlier this year after they hired someone to use AI art in pre-production, so that’s a shadow cast over this announcement.

We’ll see what happens. What are your thoughts on the Legend of Heroes III news?

Winter’s Wish Fandisc Announced (for Japan)

Three years ago (has it really been that long??), we discussed Winter’s Wish: Spirits of Edo, an otome game that took me by surprise.

While I’d expected to enjoy it, I wasn’t prepared for how exciting some of its routes were.

Winter’s Wish didn’t end up becoming an all-time favorite or anything like that, but it’s a game I quite enjoyed, so I was excited to hear that this year’s Otomate Party included the announcement of a fandisc for Japan.

Of course, there’s no guarantee that means it will be localized, but it’ll be something to hope for!

(The other thing to hope for will be that it follows the pattern of many fandiscs and include a route for a character who couldn’t be dated in the first game, by which I mean I need a route for Yabuta and I need it yesterday.)

Meanwhile, I have plenty of games in my backlog to play until then, so I can wait.

What are you hoping for from the Winter’s Wish fandisc?

Capcom’s TGS Stage Live Stream Will Include Ace Attorney

Last week, we discussed Capcom’s Tokyo Game Show plans in regards to the Capcom Spotlight to be held on September 16.

Since it’s a Capcom Spotlight rather than a Capcom Showcase, the chances of them announcing a new game are pretty slim.

However, while that’s the only event they’ve announced on their English site, the same isn’t true for Japan. Capcom also has a stage show with events that will be streamed on September 19, 20, and 21.

While most of these events are focused on a specific game, the September 20 lineup includes a more general event called “Capcom TV!!”

The description on the site only says that they’re going to discuss the Switch 2 version of Devil May Cry 5 and Monster Hunter Stories 3. However, Capcom’s tweet about this event also lists the Resident Evil games coming to the Switch 2 and… Ace Attorney.

I’m not sure what to make of this. Ace Attorney is the only thing listed that doesn’t specifically say it’s about a Switch 2 version, and there’s no new Ace Attorney game for them to discuss. It almost has to be something new, whether that’s a new game or something else related to the series.

Now, there is that other little matter… For this next part, I’ll be discussing a potential leak, so don’t read it if you’ve been avoiding leaks and don’t want to see it.

Click for the recent leak
So earlier this week, there was a huge Steam achievement leak that revealed achievements for upcoming and even unannounced games. This included an achievement list for Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. After seeing that, I expected a remaster of the crossover to be announced during the Nintendo Direct. When it wasn’t there, I assumed it would be at Level-5’s showcase the next day. It wasn’t there, either. That opens up the potential that this will be announced by Capcom at TGS.

I’ll be a little disappointed if that turns out to be the only announcement, but either way it looks like TGS might have something in store for us Ace Attorney fans.

Do you think Capcom will announce a new Ace Attorney game at TGS?
