No Ace Attorney News (But We Have TGAA Anniversary Art)

All right, so the Capcom Spotlight yesterday didn’t have any Ace Attorney news.

It was a long shot anyway, but I admit I felt hopeful when they deviated from the announced four games to discuss a few other titles as well.

Nevertheless, the closest we got to Ace Attorney news was them mentioning it being on sale.

On the other hand, we do have some new art to enjoy!

This year is The Great Ace Attorney’s 10th anniversary, and now that we’re getting closer to the anniversary itself (July 9), they released a beautiful piece of tenth anniversary art, as well as a store where you can buy art and other merchandise, like acrylic character standees.

I still have high hopes for The Great Ace Attorney’s anniversary year and believe we’ll get some sort of exciting announcement, whether it’s a game (please) or something else.

In the meantime, that art is beautiful, and I’m really tempted by some of the merch…

Do you think we’ll get a big announcement to celebrate The Great Ace Attorney’s 10th anniversary this year, or is this art and merch the most we’ll see?

The Great Ace Attorney Nendoroids Announced (At Last!)

I love collecting Nendoroids, and for a while now I’ve been hoping for one specific thing: Great Ace Attorney Nendoroids.

They’ve already made a few Nendoroids for the main Ace Attorney series – Phoenix, Edgeworth, Apollo, and Maya – and every time they make announcements, I’ve hoped for more.

This time, it finally happened.

Good Smile has announced Nendoroids of Ryunosuke Naruhodo and Kazuma Asogi, and while I was really hoping for a Barok van Zieks Nendoroid, I’ll absolutely be getting these.

(And then I’ll hope for more.)

Their full selection also includes Nendoroid Dolls for Phoenix and Edgeworth and the first look at the Nendoroid Kei Okazaki from Collar x Malice, among others. And although they aren’t on that page, they also shared new images of the Yakuza Nendoroids (Kiryu, Majima, and Ichiban), which I’ll also want to pick up.

Now, recently there have been concerns about data breaches through Good Smile, and it’s not clear if they ever fixed the problem or not, so we’ll have to be cautious. I’m just happy that the Great Ace Attorney Nendoroids I’ve been hoping for will finally exist!

(Fingers crossed we get Van Zieks next.)

Capcom is “Making Preparations” for The Great Ace Attorney’s Anniversary

Since we had all of our end-of-year / start-of-year posts to go through, I held off on discussing this until now, but it’s been on my mind ever since I saw it.

Each December, many video game developers and publishers make a short statement about what they have planned for the next year. These are often vague, but sometimes they offer intriguing hints about upcoming announcements.

From this year’s messages, translated here by Gematsu, there was one in particular that caught my eye.

You see, 2025 is the 10th anniversary of The Great Ace Attorney.

It’s hard to believe it’s been a whole 10 years since The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures first came out in Japan on the 3DS. We had to wait all the way until 2021 to finally get an official localization! Now the second game in particular has become one of my all-time favorites, and there’s nothing I’d like to see more than more Great Ace Attorney games.

Anyway, Kei Hashimoto, a programmer with Capcom, said that they’re “making preparations to ensure everyone can enjoy the 10th anniversary” of The Great Ace Attorney.

That statement doesn’t necessarily mean they’re making a new game. It could be anything. It could just be merchandise, or even a special event in Japan. It’s too early to get excited.

On the other hand, we still don’t have a satisfactory explanation for the mysterious Van Zieks captions, and I still hope they were misplaced dialogue from a Great Ace Attorney Investigations game. Between the captions, the 10th anniversary, and this statement about celebrating, I can’t help but feel a little more optimistic.

Also, 2025 is the Year of the Snake, and Kazuma’s prosecutor design has snake inspirations/motifs, so basically this would be the perfect year for a game with him as a central character.

I remain hopeful that a new Ace Attorney game will be announced this year. I’d assumed it would be Ace Attorney 7, but if we get a new Great Ace Attorney game instead, I certainly won’t complain.

How do you think Capcom intends to celebrate the 10th anniversary?
