The fourth entry in Capcom’s Ace Attorney series, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, is finally making its way to the Nintendo 3DS, becoming the last mainline game in the franchise to appear natively on the console. This new version will come with updated visuals, both the Japanese and English text, and all the usual humor of the Ace Attorney franchise.

Capcom has confirmed that this new version will cost $19.99 and will be released in November.

About

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney is coming to Nintendo 3DS complete with upgraded visuals. Originally released on Nintendo DS in 2008, this entry’s debut on Nintendo 3DS means that all six of the mainline Ace Attorney titles can be experienced on the platform. This fourth game in the series covers the adventures of Apollo Justice as a rookie defense attorney.

Forensic investigation techniques play a vital part in analyzing the evidence to help solve some of the game’s mysteries. Utilizing the features of the Nintendo 3DS, players can dust some crime scenes to search for fingerprints and also examine certain objects in a full 360 degrees to uncover hidden evidence. This Nintendo 3DS release also includes text skip options and the Japanese version of the game, allowing players to switch between the Japanese and English editions.

Court will be in session this November when Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney will be available to download on the Nintendo eShop.

As I said before back when this was a rumor, I’m excited. This is the only Ace Attorney game I haven’t played, and it makes for a good excuse to finally catch up.
