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.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice Release Date & Demo

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice received a new trailer celebrating the characters’ special abilities… and its Western release date!

Spirit of Justice will be available from the Nintendo eShop on September 8. That’s less than a month away!

Better yet, Capcom announced a Spirit of Justice demo, which you can download on August 25.

The announcement also gives information on Ema (a Forensics Investigator at last!), Trucy (the prime suspect in a new case), and Bonny de Famme, Trucy’s co-star who is called upon as a witness in her trial.

If you aren’t caught up on the Ace Attorney series, the Phoenix Wright Trilogy and Dual Destinies are on sale in the Nintendo eShop from now until August 18 for $16.49 and $11.99, respectively. Both are fantastic, although you should begin with the trilogy if you’re new to the series. If you’re unsure, I’ve written a guide on the order to play the Ace Attorney games.

You’ll still need to get Apollo Justice physically, but then you’ll be set for Spirit of Justice!

Based on the Japanese release, the full game takes up about 6,624 blocks, or 828 MB. Check your SD cards to make sure you have enough room.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice is probably my most-anticipated game of the year. (The only reason it didn’t make my list is because it wasn’t confirmed for 2016 at the time.) August 25 and September 8 can’t come soon enough!

Will you play the demo for Spirit of Justice when it comes out?
