Capcom's put up some new English gameplay videos for Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies, and the game has surprisingly enough earned an M rating, compared to the T ratings of past entries! The game is rated 16 in Europe.

Black Republican · Jul 17, 2013

Lorena Bobbitt like case confirmed

RurouniZel · Jul 17, 2013

Rated M? Oh my, that's unexpected.

Murders must be brutal in this one.

Sendou · Jul 17, 2013

Explains why there's no retail release.

LiK · Jul 17, 2013

Banned in Germany and Australia!

kittens · Jul 17, 2013

Guess the ESRB had some objections.

My first thought. So glad they didn't censor it though. Thank you Capcpom!

16(Pegi)

cosmicblizzard · Jul 17, 2013

Whoa... Looks like we're entering the age of dark trial simulators! First Danganronpa and now this.

PlanetSmasher · Jul 17, 2013

How the hell is that even possible? More blood? Swearing?

Clov · Jul 17, 2013

Now THAT is unexpected. What could have possibly earned the game an M rating?

Ob-fucking-jection!

Sorry

BronsonLee · Jul 17, 2013

The hell? Guess this one is more Case Closed with the murders then... Ohboy

Cryxok · Jul 17, 2013

M what? That's... interesting.
Anyways, it looks great, and Prosecutor Blackquill looks pretty cool too. Can't wait

It can't have helped, but if that were the primary reason I'd think they'd have mentioned that in the first place.

RocBase · Jul 17, 2013

What in the world? What's in there that it got an M rating?

I think more likely something sex/nudity. PEGI rating show that.

nckillthegrimace · Jul 17, 2013

I...What?

Is there a sexual crime? A beheading?

maybe one of cases plays out like a 999 alternative ending

Keyouta · Jul 17, 2013

Interesting, the cases must be pretty crazy in this one. I doubt there's swearing, but who knows?

Fey · Jul 17, 2013

My boy Phoenix is growing up. ;____________;

Shadow2222 · Jul 17, 2013

Wow. That is really unexpected. Of all the game series to see an M rated entry...

ViewtifulJC · Jul 17, 2013

Phoenix Wright bout to go off on some mothafuckas in that court room

LiK · Jul 17, 2013

Maybe we'll finally see Mia boobs.

Baust · Jul 17, 2013

Maybe it's a Cpapcom mistake?

Kunan · Jul 17, 2013

Woah this is really surprising. I wonder how grisly the murders are.

More detailed murder scenes perhaps?

chickdigger802 · Jul 17, 2013

Maya is gonna be found

dead

naked.

katkombat · Jul 17, 2013

whoa.

Banana Kid · Jul 17, 2013

We can finally use traces of semen as evidence.

Midnight Moon · Jul 17, 2013

Holy crap, totally unexpected. Maybe this is why it's not getting a physical release here...unless Capcom's surprise is preorders for a physical LE.

Ridley327 · Jul 17, 2013

Since an M-rating on a handheld title is often a kiss of death at retail, it might make a little bit more sense now why it's digital only.

Apollo kills Phoenix in rage for stealing the leading gig back. ;P

I think this is the first AA game with anime cinematics, maybe something in one of those?

PK Gaming · Jul 17, 2013

Well that's certainly something...

In other news, Apollo & Athena are a great duo. Almost makes wish this game was Apollo Justice 2!

Almost.

Crimsonclaw111 · Jul 17, 2013

Ninja Theory gritty reboot?

Dead Prince · Jul 17, 2013

lots of doll touching

Nibel · Jul 17, 2013

This is unexpected

Do they make a difference between violence presented in 2D sprites and violence presented in 3D?

WrenchNinja · Jul 17, 2013

Oh come on, Ace Attorney is like the goofiest series ever. An M rating, really?

I mean, they used freaking grape juice as a replacement for wine. In a game full of murders.

peanutbutterlatte · Jul 17, 2013

I'll bite at £20. Price it like an actual digital title please Capcom.

oti · Jul 17, 2013

So... any information about the USK rating yet?

chickdigger802 · Jul 17, 2013

woah that first video... seems kinda spoilery?

I expect some very good, dark, humorous puns.

GreatMightySymp · Jul 17, 2013

Explains the lack of a retail release.

2D sprite violence is more easily categorized as "Cartoon violence" I bet.

Kurtofan · Jul 17, 2013

Grueling stepladder murder inside.

Mr. RHC · Jul 17, 2013

I need this game in my life already!... and AAI2.

Interesting rating, is this series getting darker now?
