Last night, new Ace Attorney 6 footage was shown during an Ace Attorney stage show.
Thanks to Court-Records, those of us who missed the stream live can watch the new footage.
There wasn’t a lot of new information revealed, although it seems as though Nayuta will prosecute cases in Kurain.
However, the videos do show a little more of the first case, new footage from the second case (including Ema Skye and fingerprint analysis), and a bit from Apollo’s DLC story.
Here is the first video, which shows a little over 9 minutes of Case 1.
This second video covers about 10 minutes of Case 2, a few minutes of the DLC case (with Klavier and Jinxie), and a showcase of the bonus costumes.
It was fun to watch this footage and see Ema again (although I’m still holding out hope for at least a Gumshoe cameo). And personally, I don’t mind a lack of new information about the game… gotta have some surprises!
Right now, the main piece of Ace Attorney 6 news I want is its localized release date. An E3 announcement, perhaps?
This weekend gave us a huge amount of Ace Attorney 6 news.
The biggest announcement was probably the return of Maya Fey, but we also have cover art, a new trailer, the Japanese release date, pre-order bonus information, a demo, and more characters.
The box art, pictured to the right, features Phoenix, Maya, Apollo, and Nayuta. When Nayuta was first revealed, his gender was in doubt, but he’s been confirmed as male.
We don’t know who the detective will be yet, either. Fans went a little crazy over “detective Jesus,” but the character in question is just a witness (possibly the culprit). Let’s cross our fingers for the return of Gumshoe, Ema, or both.
Maya will be Phoenix’s assistant in Kurain, as she went there to further her spiritual training. She looks a lot like she did in the trilogy, though not identical, since she’s older.
Check out adult Maya in the new trailer, subtitled by Bolt2nd.
Apollo’s assistant will be Athena. So far, they’ve only referenced Phoenix and Apollo as playable characters, which means Athena probably won’t lead a case this time.
We don’t know how many cases there will be (I’m hoping for 6), but two bonus “non-canon episodes” are available as pre-order bonuses. One is set in Kurain and features Phoenix versus Edgeworth, while the other is set in Japan/California and features Apollo versus Klavier.
The Kurain episode also includes Pearl, while the Japan/California episode has Jinxie.
I like Jinxie, but I didn’t know she was popular enough to warrant a return, even in a bonus case. And is that Pearl and Bokuto on the stand together? Will Ace Attorney 6 have cross-examinations of multiple witnesses?
The wording suggests these bonus episodes won’t be full-length cases, but they’ll still have investigations and trial sections. With any luck, they’ll be pre-order bonuses in the West as well… and perhaps made available as DLC later on.
Like in Dual Destinies, each attorney has an alternate DLC costume, also available as pre-order bonuses: Phoenix gets Furio Tigre’s suit, Apollo gets a boarding school uniform, and Athena gets a Trés Bien waitress outfit.
Ace Attorney 6 is set for June 9 in Japan, with no word yet on its localized release date. Japan also has a limited edition, which includes a CD, tote bag, art book, and keychains.
An Ace Attorney 6 demo is available and can be played in your browser. It’s entirely in Japanese, but it’s worth a look to get a feeling for the game.

It’s time to deviate from the usual blogging schedule, because Capcom has unveiled the mysterious Ace Attorney 6 prosecutor we’ve been wondering about.
He… or possibly she, as Court-Records says the prosecutor’s gender is unclear even in the full Famitsu article, is an international prosecutor and a monk in the Kingdom of Kurain, Nayuta Saadmadhi.
Nayuta believes a guilty verdict brings salvation to the culprit’s victim.
Also, how do you top the convicted murderer “Twisted Samurai” prosecutor? Call your new character the Funeral Prosecutor.
The scans also show Apollo and Athena facing off against Nayuta to defend a girl named Mimi, who seems to be involved in Trucy’s magic show.
Fans at Court-Records also noticed that in the background behind Mimi, there is what appears to be a poster for the Gramaryes… but with someone in green on it.
This “green Gramarye” has raised questions, and some fans theorize it’s Apollo’s father.
It would definitely be nice if Ace Attorney 6 finally wrapped up the loose ends from Apollo Justice, which this suggests it might.
Let’s go back to the prosecutor, though. Nayuta is from Kurain… but facing Apollo in Japan (which will probably be localized to America, as usual).
Does this mean Phoenix will face a different prosecutor? And why would a prosecutor from Kurain go to Japan/America right when a lawyer from Japan/America goes to Kurain? It sounds like there will be a connection between the two…
Share your theories and thoughts on the Funeral Prosecutor in the comments! Also, do you think Nayuta is male or female? At a quick glance, I say “male,” but then I take a closer look and say, “No, that might be a woman…”
(I still want to face Vampire Edgeworth, Capcom… please give us DGS after this!)
