There needs to be an official Ace Attorney fantranslation team, because I don't trust Capcom now.Takao said:Don't worry Ace Attorney fans, you can join me in learning Japanese! Together our lack of localizations (I am more bitter than you) will allow us to easily conquer this foreign language!
Check the last page.dvolovets said:Wait a minute, what the fuck is up with the title change? Was this 100% confirmed by Capcom?
Pureauthor said:Wait.
An Ace Attorney game was outsold by Okamiden?
That's.... that doesn't sound right.
ShockingAlberto said:I have to say, not bringing this over makes me lose a lot of respect and affection for Capcom not only as a provider of some of my favorite games, but as a company that tends to serve its fans well with localizations.
I kind of can blame Capcom for this, yes!Pureauthor said:Welp.
Time to put those Japanese lessons to use.
Edit: Unless Sven is flat out lying, you can't blame Capcom for this - they simply don't believe it'll make them money.
charlequin said:Anyway, I'm not going to say that Christian Svensson doesn't have access to information I don't have here (because he obviously does) but I am going to say that "we didn't think it would make back the localization costs" is a pretty lousy explanation that doesn't reflect very well on Capcom USA. They've known this title was coming for ages; they certainly know that there will be more GS titles next generation and it should be fairly obvious that failing to localize this one will harm their ability to effectively sell those titles. Skipping this title is penny-wise, pound-foolish.
If the investment is bigger than the return, it'll never be worth it for anyone.Fodder76 said:Atlus... go get it.
I suspect that sales numbers that aren't worth it for Capcom, could be very well worth it for a smaller company like Atlus.
But please hire the original localization team.
Yeah, a series that gets sequels without the actual original creators wanting them...Andrex said:Well it's good news for the Okami series I guess.

Pureauthor said:Unless, like Aeana says, the AA series has been constantly declining in sales which means they don't see any benefit in bringing over future games either.
Yeah, as much as AAI2 not being localized pisses me off, Capcom still has my respect for pulling that one off.Andrex said:Capcom is still in good standing with me for bringing over an enhanced Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and advertising it pretty well. I won't forget that.
ShockingAlberto said:No other company is going to pick it up, guys. Publishers generally don't let localization companies mess around with their IPs.

Gyakuten Kenji 2 features the same three main characters from its predecessor: prosecutor Miles Edgeworth; detective Dick Gumshoe; and Kay Faraday, a teenage girl who is also an avid thief. One case of the game takes place at Gourd Lake, a setting from the first game of the series, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.[2] The character of Shelly de Killer from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All returns. A new female judge, named Hakari Mikagami, is introduced and serves as Edgeworth's rival in this game; character designer Tatsurou Iwamoto wanted to create an older woman he could look up to.[3] Mikagami is part of a "Prosecutor Purge", following the actions of weaker prosecutors to justify removing them from duty; the game starts with Mikagami attempting to take a case under Edgeworth's command to another prosecutor, Yumihiko Ichiyanagi.

Namco is in a space where they are trying hard to get something to stick in terms of IPs that they're even attempting a revival of the Tales series in the west. I guarantee you this is a bitter pill to swallow for everyone involved at Namco, but bombs like Enslaved have gotten them rethinking what they get behind.Zerokku said:How the fuck are we in a world where Namco is quite possibly localizing 3 different tales games, and capcom is not localizing this?

True enough, I guess. Come to think of it, TvC should probably show Capcom that localization risks can pay off if done correctly.charlequin said:Capcom has been one of the leading Japanese publishers in terms of bringing their native output to the US -- far above Nintendo, far above Sony, far above Sega, far above Konami, laughably superior to Namco -- throughout the past seven years, at least. That doesn't mean we should excuse them for a poor choice -- that means we should give them an extra hard time about throwing away their good name in pursuit of a policy that makes them more like Namco.

Maybe they are waiting to release it as a 3DS title. :\PKrockin said:While we're on the topic of unlocalized games, I'd just like to ask Nintendo where the hell my second Fire Emblem DS game is.
