News Roundup

If it seems all quiet on the Ace Attorney front, that's because it has been. However, there's still been a little trickle of news coming out of Japan.

- If you're a big fan of the lads from The Great Ace Attorney and are willing to pay a staggering price, you can now purchase 75 cm plushies of Ryu and Asogi from eCapcom in Japan.

- There was an Ace Attorney rock concert a couple of days ago, and you can see a snippet of rehearsal footage for that here (including some impressive accordion playing to make Weird Al proud).

- Don't forget that the 2019 orchestra concert CD comes out on the 24th - you can purchase it here or here, and thanks to WarChild on the forums, the track list seems to be


- Finally, in non-Ace Attorney news, Professor Layton and Pandora's Box received an iOS and Android port last month, and Layton's Mystery Journey Deluxe Edition releases on the Switch on November 11th.

Hopefully we'll see some more news on the future of the Ace Attorney series some time this year, but in the meantime we'll just have to patiently wait and replay the Trilogy again.

Ace Attorney Orchestra Concert 2019 CD announced, 7/24

because what else could get me to post news again than new AA music

After skipping a release for the 2018 concert, Capcom's announced a CD release of the Ace Attorney orchestra concert that ran earlier this year! In addition to including the orchestra tracks, it will include a recording of one special track where Ryuunosuke's voice actor Hiro Shimono acted out a certain DGS2 scene in time with the music.

While there isn't an official tracklist yet, a 4Gamer report on the concert listed the following tracks:

• Ace Attorney 1-3 Suite
• Ace Attorney Investigations Reasoning and Pursuit Suite
• Apollo Justice ~ A New Chapter of Trials!
• Ace Attorney 1-6 Beautiful Suite (Maya, Pearl, Trucy, Athena, Dahlia, and Rayfa's themes)
• Villains' Suite (villains' themes from 1-5, 2-4, 3-2, 3-3)
• Great Ace Attorney Suite, Continued 2019 (main character themes, incl. DGS2 songs)
• [DGS2 spoiler track performed with Shimono]
• Ace Attorney Revolution and Inheritance Suite (AA5/AA6 music, Apollo, Dhurke, Nahyuta's themes)
• Ace Attorney 3 ~ Ending
• Miles Edgeworth ~ Great Revival
• Steel Samurai's Theme

Additionally, the evening performance had an alternate DGS suite and an AA4 suite instead of the AA1-3 suite.

Since we couldn't hear last year's performance, it's good to know we'll at least get this year's!

DGS Fan Translation Released on 3DS

The ever hard-working Scarlet Study fan translation team have announced that all five episodes of their fan translation of The Great Ace Attorney (Dai Gyakuten Saiban) are now available on 3DS! You can watch a trailer for the release here, and find out more details about the patch and how to download it on their website.

They've also announced that work has started on translating the second game, and that the release of the finalised first game on Android isn't quite ready yet.

This is an amazing effort by an amazing team of translators and programmers, and as Ace Attorney fans who are occasionally ignored by Capcom, it's fantastic to see such dedicated and talented fans work on bringing the series to its fans outside Japan. A big thank you from everyone at Court Records goes out to them.

UPDATE: The game is now available on Android, and a demo for DGS2 has been translated for 3DS. You can find out more here.

Ace Attorney Trilogy Western Release Date Revealed

The Western release date for the HD remaster of the Ace Attorney Trilogy has been revealed as April 9th by Capcom. The game will be digital only in the West, and will release with English and Japanese language support, with French and German to be added in a post-launch update. April 9th will also be the first time the game will release on Steam, and it's probably the delay in this version of the game that is causing a slight delay in the game's Western release. PS4 and Steam versions of the game come with a pre-order bonus wallpaper.

You can read more about the game's Western release from Capcom here.

Ace Attorney Trilogy HD released in Japan

Well, the time has finally come - an Ace Attorney game has been released on the new generation of consoles. Of course, the excitement of this occasion is dampened slightly for fans of the series, as this is the port of a trilogy that's already received five (or more, it's a lot to keep track of) ports and is playable on everything from your phone to your 3DS. But this at least looks to be the cleanest, most extensive port yet, and its availability on most modern platforms means that the reach of the trilogy now extends further than ever.

The PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions of this game launch today in Japan, with the Steam version to follow at a later date. An English release has been announced to come out sometime later this year (last minute update: the release date for the English language version will be announced next week), but if you can't wait, the game does have English language support.

It may not be the new Ace Attorney game we were all clamouring for, but hopefully it'll be a way to get new fans into the series, and a way for old fans to revisit the original trilogy.

A new Nintendo Direct has been announced for air tomorrow, and as always Court Records will be hosting a stream of the Direct at http://cytube.court-records.net/r/CR. Although Ace Attorney news is unlikely, we may possibly see a release date announcement for the HD Trilogy in the West.
