There’s a good chance you thought the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy was the same across all its various releases, but that’s not quite true.
The mobile version in particular had several problems and was considered the worst of the available versions.
(The mobile port of the first game alone, which is actually what got me into the series and was much better, was taken down in favor of that, too.)
Anyway, Capcom announced that the mobile version of the Phoenix Wright Trilogy is being discontinued on June 9.
However, it will be replaced by a port of the Phoenix Wright Trilogy that has been released on everything else.
Save data won’t carry over, but in short, soon the mobile trilogy will match the better version available on other systems. Considering the problems the mobile version had, I’m surprised it took them this long.
The announcement has only been made for Japan so far, but I assume the same will happen globally.
Okay, so this isn’t quite the exciting Ace Attorney news we’ve been hoping to see, but anything that makes it easier for people to play the games is a good thing! I’m still holding out hope for something to come of that mysterious Apollo Justice trademark.
One thing no one mentioned is if Benjamin Hunter will now be on mobile or not.
If the current multiplatform Trilogy has whichever language option gave us Benjamin Hunter (French?), this one probably will too.
(Yes it’s French)
The Trilogy added French as free DLC, however. It wasn’t part of the base game. So if they’re particularly lazy with the port, it could be excluded!
Hmm, we’ll see then.
[…] unrelated news, the replacement of the broken mobile Phoenix Wright Trilogy with a better port has now been confirmed for the west as well, but I didn’t think that warranted its own […]
