Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies, formerly known as Ace Attorney 5, will launch in North America and Europe this Fall, only on the 3DS eShop.
Capcom confirmed that the game, which was previously announced for a Japanese release on July 25, will not be available at retail for its Western localisation. A statement released by the publisher cited the lack of long-term retail success for previous Ace Attorney games as the reasoning for this decision.
Speaking to Kotaku, a Capcom representative said: "We understand that this decision may upset fans who wanted to have a physical version of the title to add to their collection but we believe this direction is the best to take to ensure that fans are able to enjoy the game at their own leisure."
Dual Destinies, the fifth title in the cult adventure series, returns star defence attorney Phoenix Wright to the courtroom, along with his new sidekick Athena Cykes. It introduces a new system called the Mood Matrix, which allows the player to gauge the emotions of witnesses and suspects during their testimonies and spot contradictions.

I love how fans of the series loudly lament that they won't be able to pick this up used for 5$ anymore.here, do i have to explain everything
Really Broodwars? I just see a general embracing of digital retail, especially for publishers who can't back the physical release.

I've never played an Ace Atterney game, I may have to give it a try.
I think more people than typically buy these games would like them if they gave them a chance. They should really put out a demo of it, I'll bet that'd increase sales like it seemingly did for Fire Emblem Awakening.I worry that the Demo would be like the Monster Hunter Demo and just throw you in. If not it have to be an episode.
Can't lend it or sell? Not buying. I'll stay with de previous titles on the DS.But how do you still have previous titles if you lent or sold them?
If this game got AAI2'd (left in Japan), people would be crying for an eShop release. But now that Capcom's saying "OK, put your money where your mouth is"...

I wonder if they use harsher text in the dialog?Pearls will drop F-bombs after every word.
This title rated "M" for Mature? That's what the rating came in as and it doesn't seem like Capcom is objecting to it. I wonder if they use harsher text in the dialog?
