New Information About Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2

New details are on the way for the sequel to Dai Gyakuten Saiban, or The Great Ace Attorney.

If you’re like me, and avoiding Dai Gyakuten Saiban spoilers because you’re still waiting for its localization, there isn’t too much speculating we can do about the sequel. Nevertheless, let’s take a look at what we know.

At the Ace Attorney 15th Anniversary Event, Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2 was confirmed for the 3DS, and they also revealed a new trailer. The trailer doesn’t actually show much about the game itself, but features banter between the protagonist and Sherlock Holmes as they try to analyze the logo.

(It even jokes about the fact that they don’t have much to show yet.)

Here is the trailer subtitled in English, courtesy of Bolt2nd.

Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2 will also be featured in the newest issue of Famitsu, and some information has already surfaced. Like the first game, it will take place in both Japan and England. It deals with a “cursed room” and the World’s Fair, both of which seem to have been referenced in the original.

Best of all, it will resolve the first game’s mysteries. Loose ends and unresolved mysteries were the main source of Dai Gyakuten Saiban’s mixed reception, which could be one of the things holding it back from a worldwide release. Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2 clearing up those problems is definitely good news.

Capcom still hasn’t announced plans to localize the first Dai Gyakuten Saiban, but I believe the sequel improves our chances of getting them both (especially if it has a positive reception).

What do you think? Can we look forward to a Dai Gyakuten Saiban localization announcement in the future?
