Ace Attorney Trilogy Re-released on iOS, Android

Yes, it's that time of year again - the newly remastered version of the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy has been released onto a new platform; iOS and Android. You could previously buy an HD version of the Trilogy on your phones, but it was known for being plagued by bugs and spelling errors. Since then, the Trilogy has had a complete graphical upgrade for next-gen consoles, which is the version that is now being released on phones.

You can purchase the game on iOS here, and on Android here. A limited time discount is available until June 15th, so if you're planning on buying or recommending to a friend, I'd do it sooner than later.

Ace Attorney Celebrates its 20th Anniversary

The first Ace Attorney game was released today, October 12th, on the Game Boy Advance in Japan 20 years ago. For the festivities, Capcom has opened a new website, which details various goods and events being released in Japan to coincide with the anniversary. The site will continue to be updated over the coming days, with a section on the series' history being left incomplete for now. The opening message on the site mentions the series will continue in various forms, and we here at Court Records look forward to seeing what they all are.

For now, it's time to celebrate the anniversary - whether that's starting a fresh replay of the Trilogy or simply screaming "Objection" into the void.

Happy Birthday, Ace Attorney!

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Releasing Worldwide

The Great Ace Attorney Adventures, originally released in Japan under the name "Dai Gyakuten Saiban (?????)" was first released in Japan in July 2015. The game was first teased in a Japanese only Nintendo Direct a year before that, with only the information that Shu Takumi was working on a new Ace Attorney project. With only one game left untranslated thus far, non Japanese Ace Attorney fans would have had no reason to believe that they would be left waiting six whole years for the game to finally be translated and officially released worldwide.

For those who have played the game, either in the original Japanese or through the fan made translation worked on tirelessly throughout the waiting period, this new release offers the chance to experience the adventures of Ryunosuke and Sherlock Herlock Sholmes afresh, in beautiful HD on Switch, PS4 or Steam.

For those who weren't able to play the games before, today marks the ever exciting release of two brand new Ace Attorney games, ones which have been teased and hyped up for longer than the gap between any Japanese and English release in the series so far.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is now available on Switch, Playstation and Steam in some regions, and will release within the next day in other timezones. You can follow us here or on twitter for any news about the series post release of this game, but for right now - The game is afoot!

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles rated in Taiwan

After three months of biting our tongue and talking around certain illicitly-acquired leaks, it's good to finally have a more official source for things: Gematsu reports that The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles has been rated in Taiwan for PC, Switch, and PS4!

It's been a long, long road, and we're still waiting on an Official Official announcement, but it looks like after six long years, Ryunosuke and co. are finally heading west.

A Statement on the Recent Capcom Leaks

People keeping up with gaming news may have seen recently that vast amounts of data were stolen from Capcom's servers for the purposes of ransoming the company. Some of that stolen data, which apparently includes highly sensitive information about Capcom's financial operations and employees also includes news about upcoming games, one of which appears to be a localised port of Dai Gyakuten Saiban 1 + 2 for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

We will not be posting any information or screenshots ourselves because of the way this information was gathered, but it can be found on the internet if needed. Most importantly, however, we would like to reiterate that these are leaks and so not confirmed. Plans at Capcom may easily have changed, or could change in response to this. It's not too long ago that we reported on seemingly reliable leaks from Kotaku which ended up not materialising, so we would urge as always that a heap of salt is always necessary for things like this.

[UPDATE: More information has come to light which makes the leaks seem much more solid. This is not to say anything is confirmed or plans haven't since changed, but the likelihood of the DGS ports has now greatly increased. Other AA related leaks have yet to be solidified in such a manner.]
