there is no excuse. a limited print run would sell out at lightning speed.
Maybe they'll consider re-releasing the old ones digitally if it performs well?
Of course its super fishy! They pumped out 4 AA game and 1 spinoff localizations in 6 years! If physical overhead, translation costs, and sales were so bad why'd they keep 'em coming?? With the new one having voice acting you'd think retail would be a shoe-in since its got higher production values! This is also the first entry on the 3DS and first real sequel in 5 years so there's no playing the "fatigue" card!It smells off. Does anybody really believe this game wouldn't outsell many of the other western 3DS cartridge releases this year? Even when Capcom underproduces it as they always do with these games I seriously doubt it.

AAI2 is likely too big to be released as DSiWare.Regarding AAI2, are DSiWare games even being released any more?

How much with this cost them? I'm asking as I have no idea what kind of number are needed to produces carts(I assume cost more than CDs), packaging, and what not. Would it even be profitable to do a limited run?

Sven said:Sorry, no. A retail release would necessitate changes to code, another QA pass, a seperate submission to NOA/NCL, 45 days of manufacturing/shipping time and significant physical COGs that would require pricing that is different than what we will be doing.
And it is still an exciting announcement that the latest AA game is coming Westward and doing so in a "timely fashion" relative to its Japanese release.

Out of curiosity, would you be for a low print run if they raised the price to $50?

So I'm guessing a significant amount of time and effort.
I'd get it even at $60, I'd expect some kind of bonus though like a poster or soundtrack CD (a la Atlus).
I would buy physical AA5 for $100. I would also jump on that Phoenix statue too.

Buncha lies up in this here thread.
I've never played this series, but it's a darn shame Nintendo's digital rights system is so terrible. It's really quite ridiculous this day and age to have purchases locked so tightly to hardware. For all the crap Sony and MS get, at least their system aren't from the stone age. For fans of the series, this is bittersweet news. Nintendo really doesn't deserve the support of people buying this digitally. I kinda wanna see Nintendo either get with the times immediately or have their systems fail and go software only, but that's a different topic.
I've been waiting for a 3DS collection to get into Ace Attorney, but I don't know how likely that is to happen. Think this would be a good one to jump into the series on?

You don't understand my love of the AA series, apparently.

Your avatar summed up my reaction to the news of it being digital-only perfectlyWelp, time to save up for a 3DS then. And when I get one, I will inject it along with this game into my bloodstream and I shall attain true nirvana.
Nah, $50 for handheld games is way too much.
Can't support this shit! Even if the content justifies it! Waaaaaah!

There are very few series I would dish out that kind of money for.
The AA franchise just happens to be my favorite one of all time.
I'm confused as to what you are trying to do here.
People sure are expecting too much out of capcom these days.What's the deal with Capcom and coding errors? First they can't release Powered Up on PSN because it "doesn't work", then they can't bring over E.X. Troopers because all the text is HARD-CODED (why), AA2 is apparently too expensive to bring over, and now placing the title on a cartridge would provide "coding problems" even though Japan has retail copies and the series has sold EXTREMELY well?

Same here actually. AA is a AAA series, deserves all my monies.
Try reading the SMTIV threads.
Look at the SMT4 thread about it being $50. He was being sarcastic.
EDIT: Well beaten lol.
This sort of reminds me of the Bayonetta 2 chaos.
"It isn't coming out in the format I want, so I won't buy it! But I want it so badly!"
If you want it that badly, buy it, regardless of how it's released. Are your principles really worth more than paying for a $40 game that you most likely have been looking forward to for over 5 years? Stop being so stubborn and compromise. This series is not in the position for people to start protesting it over something as petty as a digital download. Bad sales will kill the series, so if you want to see this series continue in the West, just bite the bullet for this one.
"No because it's too much for a handheld game wah wah"

People that were begging for Investigations 2 said they would accept a dd release. Now thats not good enough for AA5? Would rather have this than nothing at all.
really? AAI2 is a no show. AA HD has been delayed from fall 2012 to June 2013. AA vs Layton is a no show.We'd be fine with a DD release of AAI2 because that seems like the only option, AA5 is different though, Capcom never hinted at a digital only release for the West, it's caught us off guard, we all thought it was a given it was coming in both retail and eshop.
You should make a list and the crow will beI better not see any of you 'I'M NOT BUYING IT' girls in the official topic. We'll see if your conviction lasts.

AA5 being a no show is not unlikely even if Sven promises so lol.
Whether people believe it or not, Sven says he's still pushing for AAI2.AAI2 is an announced no show. AA vs. Layton a) has nothing to do with capcom and b) is probably going to be next year. Level-5 doesn't want it interfering with the end of their second trilogy, no shame there.
