So in July the new AA6 comes out in japan, and i also read they will release it in the west( release date unknown ), im pretty excited, especially since Maya makes a come back in the game. Can't believe they had us waiting so long for her come back. So any of you going to get the game when it will be released in the west? =)
Ace Attorney 6
- Thread starter xSany
- Start date
I hope so too, the only weird thing is that first the game was going to be released in japan.. while they have a huge fan base in the west, maybe even bigger than in japan.. i hope in the future when they make new games they will think of us more, instead of japan only.. but hey i cant complain, the new game will be released in the west so that is great news

And i hope they mean Europe too when they said west.. not just the states =P
Only the sales of the original trilogy were better in the west. Ever since AA4, Japan has been outselling the games in NA and EU combined. That's also why they went with a digital only release for AA5 in the west, and didn't localize AAI2 or Dai Gyakuten Saiban, because they'd likely spend money they couldn't earn back with sales. It's no secret that Capcom hasn't been doing well in recent years, so they want to save money where they can.
And I don't see why a game made in Japan shouldn't be released in Japan first. It's the market these people develop their game in, so also the market they should invest in. The only exceptions are when games get a (near-)simultaneous worldwide release.
The game also deals with Japanese culture a lot, and due to the decision of the localizaton team that worked on the first game to change the setting from Tokyo to Los Angeles, there's a lot that has to be done in order to prepare the games for a western release.
Anyway, I'm gonna get the game when it's out. AA5 was kind of a disappointing installment in the series due to how easy it was (and how many hints it gave), but the writers did say they'd add an option to turn the hints on or off. Whether that has any effect on the difficulty of cases remains to be seen, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
What you are saying is very true, its ashame capcom isn't doing so well and i understand that they release the game in japan first, but i dont see the problem with the "Its too japanese" issue, i mean in the game as far as i know Phoenix is heading to Kurain (Asia), while Apollo stays in the west, that was a pretty lousy excuse to release it only in japan, but since that is off the table i have no complaints regrading that subject. I guess what bothers me most is that if they release certain games in japan only they wouldnt make a english translation in the Japanese version so that hardcore AA fans like myself can import it from Japan, that way they dont have to go through the trouble to make it more western, i dont have a problem with the game being too japanese, I'm sure that I'm not the only one who feels that way, the fans just want to play one of their favorite games. They have added the Japanese translation to the digital trilogy so i hope they will do this aswell with the future AA games that will only be available in Japan... if capcom is still active of course.
I've played every single AA game releases in the west and eventho i liked the trilogy better than the sequels i still enjoyed it, even played the game with Miles Edgeworth as main character (forgot the title of the game). I guess im just a hardcore fan xD
I hope capcom finds a way to increase the sales, would be a shame if they were to stop making this great game.
I'm curious, where did you hear that AA6 wasn't going to be localized? I know that they decided against it with the two games I mentioned, but as far as I know, they were always going to localize 6. I might just have missed that bit of news though.
I read it on several sites but this was the first one i visited when i was searching for AA6

Localization for AA6 was confirmed basically right when they announced it, by Capcom themselves.
