Ace Attorney Anime Dub Cast Announced

Remember the announcement that the Ace Attorney anime would receive an English dub? (I actually forgot.) Well, we now know who the voice cast will be!

Funimation made a new announcement revealing the English voice actors not only for the main characters, but also for supporting characters.

Hopefully announcing the full voice cast means the dub is coming soon. The anime was enjoyable enough, despite some pacing issues, but I’d especially recommend it to someone who has played the first two games.

I already have a Funimation subscription, because I’ve been using it to watch shows like Attack on Titan, Tokyo Ghoul, and Durarara!! (No, I’m not just excited about it, the title is “Durarara!!”) What other anime should I try?

Meanwhile, Ace Attorney rumors are out in full force, with one person claiming the game will be announced on December 14 and will include the return of Franziska and Nahyuta, as well as another old character who will be central to the plot.

Is this person telling the truth (despite a dubious history)? Well, if an announcement comes out on December 14, it will add credibility to their claims.

Are you planning to watch the dubbed version of the Ace Attorney anime? Do you believe any of the Ace Attorney 7 rumors you’ve seen?

Rumors About the Switch Ace Attorney Games

Just last week, we learned that Ace Attorney is planned for the Switch within the next fiscal year, and now new rumors claim to know what these Switch Ace Attorney games (yes, plural) are.

According to Kotaku UK, sources have said the Phoenix Wright Trilogy will be brought to the Switch sometime between April 2018 and October 2018.

In that same time period, a second compilation will be released: a second trilogy collection of Apollo Justice, Dual Destinies, and Spirit of Justice.

The same sources also said the next mainline Ace Attorney game is planned for late 2018 for the Switch and mobile devices, and it stars Phoenix Wright as the main protagonist.

Bringing the first six main games to the Switch does make sense, so that anyone who didn’t have a DS/3DS can catch up before the new game comes out. However, I would have liked to see the spin-offs brought to the Switch as well – giving us another chance at seeing Investigations 2 and the Dai Gyakuten Saiban games brought West.

Meanwhile, Ace Attorney Investigations is the only game in the series not available on the 3DS, and if these rumors are accurate, it won’t be available on the Switch, either.

Investigations isn’t the most popular game, but doesn’t it deserve a second chance?

Of course, these are just rumors, so we don’t know if they’re accurate or not. Personally, I would like it better if Capcom released one compilation of all 6 main games, and then a second compilation of the spin-offs.

Do you believe these rumors about Capcom’s Ace Attorney plans, and if so, what do you think?

Ace Attorney Planned for the Switch

Celebrate, Ace Attorney fans, because Ace Attorney is planned for the Switch!

All right, there hasn’t actually been a new game announcement yet, and it was pretty much assumed that the series would move to the Switch if it replaced the 3DS.

However, we not only have confirmation, but also a time frame.

In part of a Japanese interview with Capcom, translated by Court-Records, Capcom’s COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto said the company is developing games to appear on the Switch in fiscal year 2018, including Ace Attorney.

Since it’s fiscal year 2018, that could mean calendar year 2019, but it’s good to know they already have Ace Attorney plans.

But what will it be? The next mainline game? A new spin-off? A collection of the Investigations games or the Dai Gyakuten Saiban games (hopefully localized in either of those cases)?

For now, we’ll have to wait and see. What do you expect from Ace Attorney on the Switch?
