Capcom Announces Ace Attorney 5, Brings 1-3 To iOS

He may not be Capcom's biggest name, but Ace Attorney fans will be happy to know that Capcom is working on another entry in it's goofy law adventure series. And those who haven't played the games can finally jump in with HD re-releases of the first three Ace Atrorney games on iOS.

It's a little surprising, but it's Ace Attorney's 10th anniversary in Japan. In honor of his birthday, the publisher announced that it is working on Ace Attorney 5, releasing the logo for the game (below).

During an event in Japan, Capcom also announced some news regarding the upcoming Professor Layton Vs. Ace Attorney title for 3DS -- basically that the animated cutscenes are being produced by the animation studio Bones, and the game is due sometime this year. So, you know, that's news.

If that wasn't enough, Capcom release some screens for the HD versions of the first three Ace Attorneys which will be released on iOS later this year. Check out the screens over at Famitsu.

  • Nothing to OBJECT!!!! about a new Ace Attorney game.

  • I'm still really disappointed how they never localized the Ace Attorney Investigations sequel. And, judging by how many bad decisions they've been making lately (from a fan's perspective), I'm not too hopeful about a proper 3DS or Vita sequel that will get localized.
  • I hope they localize this one

  • I really hope this isn't Apollo Justice 2. AP was enjoyable, but after PW3 and the last two cases involving Edgeworth and Godot - I'd really prefer Phoenix to return as lead!
  • I know quite a few people, including myself, who would be glad to hear this. Hopefully they will bring it over here unlike Investigations 2.

  • I am excited.

  • Right not I'm not to confident about Ace Attorney 5's localization, due to Capcom saying its too expensive to localize since not many people buy it in the States.
  • This is very great news. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie if it comes stateside. Also anticipating this and Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney. Only reason why I even bought the 3DS.

  • Yeah! a game where u play as a lawyer OBJECTION

  • I haven't ever played these games, but they seem interesting. If its gonna be for iPhone I'll spend a few bucks on it.

  • I never got into any of these games. Are they worth checking out for the iOS?
  • I had the first one on iOS and thought it was great, so I'm getting the other two for sure.

  • Staff

    Yes! Made my day.

  • On the ios? Well, maybe I will try the first one.

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

  • If you ask me... the only cool thing about Ace Attorney is his name. They get a solid C-. I just don't find them amusing at all.

  • Wasn't ace attorney 1 already released on iOS?
  • I dont have my hopes set too high. Investigations 2 was never released here...

  • One of my favorite series.

  • I want release dates for both those Ace Attorney games now!!! I don't know what you're talking about, but Phoenix Wright is one of Capcoms coolest and best characters!
