Will a New Ace Attorney Be Announced at TGS?

I didn’t get the Crossbell news I was hoping for yesterday (although NISA did name-drop it, which could be a good sign), so now I’ve set my sights on another hope: Ace Attorney 7 at TGS.

Earlier this year, I hoped Ace Attorney would be one of the “major” titles Capcom intends to release, and the upcoming Tokyo Game Show feels like the best time for a new Ace Attorney announcement.

Capcom hasn’t given any indication that Ace Attorney will be featured, but their TGS promotional icons include both Phoenix and Maya.

Either this means Ace Attorney will be at TGS, or Capcom at least views it as a popular enough series to feature here.

Ace Attorney is also part of Capcom’s TGS sale.

Both of these things feel like good signs, especially since it’s been four years since Spirit of Justice came out. Then again, considering what happened the last time Capcom had a big Ace Attorney TGS announcement, I half-expect its only presence (if any) at TGS 2020 will be to announce next-gen ports of the Trilogy.

But here’s hoping for good news! Maybe even an Investigations collection that could give us another chance at getting Investigations 2 in English!

Do you expect to se Ace Attorney at TGS?

Capcom Has “Multiple Major New Titles” Planned for the Next Year

As reported by Gematsu, Capcom has announced that they will release “multiple major new titles” by March 31, 2021.

No indication has been given of what these titles include, although if the Resident Evil 4 remake rumors are true, that has to be one of them, and probably Resident Evil 8 as well. A huge series like Monster Hunter sounds like a good candidate, too.

And of course, I can’t help but hope for Ace Attorney 7.

You might argue that Capcom doesn’t consider Ace Attorney to be a “major” series, but don’t forget that when they promised Ace Attorney was coming to the Switch, they counted it among their popular franchises.

(Then again, all we got out of that was the Ace Attorney Trilogy port…)

I’m hopeful that with new Capcom games planned for the coming year, we’ll finally get an announced of Ace Attorney 7. Maybe they’ll port and localize Ace Attorney Investigations 2 while they’re at it!

I’d hope for Breath of Fire news, but even I’m not that optimistic.

What do you think Capcom’s upcoming major titles are, and when do you think we’ll finally get more Ace Attorney news?

The Phoenix Wright Trilogy is Now Out on All Major Platforms

If you’ve been interested in the Ace Attorney series but didn’t have a platform to play it on, you’re in luck!

The Phoenix Wright Trilogy, which includes the first three games in the series, is now available on pretty much everything (except Vita).

That’s right, it was just released for the Nintendo Switch, the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One, and Steam.

This means a new audience can now enjoy the Ace Attorney series for the first time!

Will it end with the first trilogy? Hopefully not. The old rumors about the Ace Attorney Switch games seem completely unreliable when you consider the time frame, but a second collection containing Apollo Justice, Dual Destinies, and Spirit of Justice would be a great way for all of these new fans to catch up on the series in time for the next game.

Speaking of which, where is the next game? We’ve been waiting for Ace Attorney 7 news for a while now. Soon we’ll be coming up on three years since the release of Spirit of Justice.

Meanwhile, I’m still hoping that the theoretical future compilations include an Investigations Duology that will finally give an official localization to Gyakuten Kenji 2, and I still hope we’ll see localization of the Dai Gyakuten Saiban games eventually… maybe in 2023 when the final Sherlock Holmes stories enter the public domain.

Are you planning to pick up the Phoenix Wright Trilogy on one of the new platforms? Do you think another Ace Attorney collection will follow? When will Ace Attorney 7 be announced? Share your thoughts in the comments!
