Capcom Confirms Ace Attorney 5 is Coming
Dont worry, youll always have more cases to crack.
The Phoenix Wright series (as its called in the US) has proven uncannily popular with Nintendo DS owners and a financial success for Capcom, especially in Japan. The series audience has grown with each subsequent sequel, and with the fourth iteration recently released in Japan, the company has confirmed a fifth entry, reports Bloomberg (via British Gaming Blog).
Big hit in
Japan DS title
Gyakuten Saiban 4 (AKA "
Ace Attorney 4") moved 250,000 copies during its first week on sale. This fall,
Gyakuten Saiban 3 will be retitled as
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations for
North America, and the previous
Phoenix Wright game was so popular that it sold out — Like you couldn't get a new copy for a while. So, you think
Capcom would make another
Ace Attorney? Do you really? According to Bloomberg, the third party developer recently announced
Gyakuten Saiban 5. How risky! I bet one day they'll do a
Gyakuten Saiban 6, a
Gyakuten Saiban 7 and maybe even a
Gyakuten Saiban 8.
