The Ace Attorney anime might have some pacing issues, but overall it’s an enjoyable show, especially if you’re already a fan of the series.

You can watch the Ace Attorney anime with subtitles (including subtitles that use the localized names) through Crunchyroll, but you’ll have another option in the future.

Crunchyroll announced a partnership with Funimation, which brings benefits like an expanded catalog and new home video releases.

Funimation will now distribute Crunchyroll’s titles through home video and a variety of EST outlets, with both dubbed and subtitled versions together. Currently planned titles include Ace Attorney, Alderamin on the Sky, Bungo Stray Dogs, JOKER GAME, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress and ReLIFE, with more to be announced in the future.”

That’s right, the Ace Attorney anime is set for a home video release with not only subtitles, but also an English dub.

Now, the official page only says home video and EST (electronic sell-through), which could mean only digital formats, but the forum announcement said these titles are planned for “Blu-ray, DVD, and Download-to-Own.”

Capcom won’t give us physical Ace Attorney games, but maybe we’ll have a physical copy of the anime.

Whether physical or digital, this is exciting news for Crunchyroll and the Ace Attorney anime. Are you going to get a copy when it becomes available?

Spirit-of-Justice-eshopTomorrow is the big day for Ace Attorney fans! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice will be available to download from the Nintendo eShop.

Capcom still hasn’t explained how the DLC case will be handled, but at least we can look forward to another fantastic Ace Attorney game tomorrow. (It’s hard to believe it’s so close!)

On the other hand, we might have to wait a little longer for Steins;Gate 0. While the September 27 release date displayed by Amazon was never made official, it didn’t seem like a typical placeholder date.

However, Amazon now lists November 1 for both the PS4 and PS Vita versions. (Except for Amazon UK, which still shows a September release date.)

The publisher hasn’t said a word about it, so the actual release date of Steins;Gate 0 is unclear.

Anyway, at least we can enjoy Spirit of Justice in the meantime! Which are you looking forward to more, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice or Steins;Gate 0?

Spirit of Justice Demo Out Tomorrow, DLC Confirmed

Spirit-of-Justice-eshop-screenThe demo for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice will be available to download tomorrow, and Spirit of Justice’s eShop page is live.

It’s also led to much excitement that Spirit of Justice’s DLC will be available in the West, as one of the screenshots includes a menu with three choices:

  • Episode Select
  • Extras and DLC
  • Options

Of course, it doesn’t specify what extras and DLC it has. Japan received a set of alternate costumes, two free short bonus episodes, and a full-length case called Turnabout Across Time.

In Dual Destinies, the “Extras and DLC” section contained cutscenes, illustrations, and costumes, along with an option to visit the eShop to check out the DLC. Once bought, Turnabout Reclaimed had its own option on the menu.

So really, the eShop screenshot doesn’t necessarily confirm Turnabout Across Time will be released here. Nevertheless, if Spirit of Justice follows Dual Destinies’ path, we should get both Turnabout Across Time and the costumes.

As for the short episodes, we’ll have to wait and see.

Spirit of Justice’s demo comes out tomorrow and the full game will be available from the eShop on September 8. All our questions will be answered then.
