Major Ace Attorney News Coming at TGS?

It’s been quite a while since Capcom confirmed that Ace Attorney would be on the Switch in fiscal year 2018, and we still haven’t heard any more details.

Rumors claimed the Phoenix Wright Trilogy, a second collection containing Apollo Justice, Dual Destinies, and Spirit of Justice, and Ace Attorney 7 would all be announced for the Switch.

Well, we might have an answer in just a few weeks!

The Tokyo Game Show runs from September 20-23, and Capcom’s schedule includes an Ace Attorney panel.

According to the official description, it will cover the latest information about the series and be “unmissable” for fans. That implies we’ll get some sort of major announcement out of it. Motohide Eshiro and Shinsuke Kodama will also be there.

Now, Motohide Eshiro has been the Ace Attorney producer for the past few entries, but Shinsuke Kodama seems to have only worked on Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright and the Dai Gyakuten Saiban games. (My heart hopes this means localization news, but TGS would be an unusual place for that.)

I think this will probably be the announcement of the next mainline Ace Attorney game. Could there be more, like the rumored collections? Maybe, since it sounds like a big event.

What do you think will be announced at Capcom’s TGS 2018 Ace Attorney panel?

Don’t forget to support Destiny Chronicles, our action RPG currently on Kickstarter!

Ace Attorney Anime Season 2 New Details

When the second season of the Ace Attorney anime was announced, we discussed various possibilities for its content. Now, we have some answers.

Anime Expo took place last week, and it resulted in a ton of news (including the localization of The Caligula Effect: Overdose and several visual novels). An Ace Attorney panel revealed new details about the anime, reported by Court-Records on Saturday.

In addition to adapting Trials and Tribulations, Season 2 of the anime will include The Lost Turnabout, which the Justice for All adaptation skipped over.

It will also feature original content, including an episode set on a train.

I enjoyed the original episode written for Season 1, so I’m excited to hear that Season 2 will do the same.

Season 2 of the Ace Attorney anime will begin on October 6 in Japan. Are you looking forward to it?

Capcom Has Two “Major Titles” Coming Soon

As part of a financial results presentation, Capcom said they will release “2 major titles” this fiscal year, sometime before March 31, 2019.

(Of course, as we know from the still-unannounced Switch Tales game, a company listing a game in their financial report for a specific time period doesn’t always come to fruition. When will Bandai Namco announce that game?)

But getting back to Capcom, this quiet reference to two major games coming out in the next year has led to much speculation about what they might be.

My top prediction is the Resident Evil 2 remake, which we’ve heard almost nothing about since the announcement in 2015.

Capcom also has plans for Ace Attorney to come to the Switch this fiscal year, but even though I love the series, I’m not sure Capcom would consider it “major.”

There have also been many rumors that Capcom is developing Devil May Cry 5, so many fans think that might be one.

With Monster Hunter doing so well, a new Monster Hunter game is also plausible.

What do you think Capcom’s major upcoming games are? Do you think we’ll hear about them at E3? And if the Resident Evil 2 remake isn’t one, when will we hear about it?
