Takumi worked on AA Vs Professor layton while 5 was being written, so I suppose so.

As a digital release I might value it at $10, but as a physical release I'd be willing to pay the regular $30, though I'd prefer lower of course. Having something you can take with you, lend, play on different systems, and have on your shelf is quite important. A digital release is akin to an extended rental that will be an inconvenience if I buy a different/upgraded system later on.

Yes, he was doing Layton vs Ace Attorney while this was being worked on. 5 is the AAI crew.

Seriously? You are comparing substances and addictions that can kill a person to a game being tied to a system instead of an account?
Gaming. Serious business.
Digital only? Not buying.
Not because of Nintendos policies (which is definitely one of the reasons), but because I like physically owning full scale $40+ games.
Yea lets do this. It worked with Megaman.

You mean Capcom, and you are wrong and seemingly haven't been paying attention. People are indeed buying digital titles on 3DS. If you don't want to, the door is over there...
This is good news. Very easily could not have gotten it at all.

Not really a fan of digital only releases, but Autumn 2013, damn, so early!! Can't wait, Nick!
It's a hyperbolic joke reply to his incredibly simple-minded post duder.
The general population won't buy it no matter what.

Did you even read Capcom's explanation? There's no reason why they couldn't do a small print for this.

Damn, that's some grade A corporate apologizism right there.
We are "lucky" to have a chance to purchase a product. Give me a break.
If they truely cared they wouldn't be half assing it in the first place.
I realize the situation we're in, which is why I'll support the game regardless of the 'dangers' of downloading a digital game in 2013.
You are ridiculous.

YES AA5 english release!!
Wait...people complaining? Uh...well I guess I can understand some folks wanting a limited print run, but Capcom spending the time on that seems about as likely as the whole "Nintendo should have bought Ouya" argument. The best approach here would seemingly be to support the digital release and hope that gets a print version made later.

The worst case scenario here is that the addict ODs or whatever, of course, but in the case of AA5 the worst case scenario is the digital sales of the game increasing by one.
It's a good thing for me and for digital distribution that not everybody wants to play this game as much as I do, I guess.

Digital only makes me sad, but it's better than not getting it at all.

Digital-only is fine with me, as long as I get the game.
From most accounts, Class of Heroes 2 isn't a very good game, and Vic obviously has to focus on the good things (improvements over the original game, specifically) to try and artificially create demand, but supporting him is more about what he might be able to accomplish in the future. If other Japanese devs see Vic successfully market a game like CoH2, they might be less hesitant to allow him to work with their IP's.
Going through too many emotions right now
First, deshvsjsjahabsan YESSSS THIS YEAR!! 3DS FOR ME CONFIRMED WHEN ITS FALL.
Secondly, oh HELL no just digital. If this is not in my hands I will have a breakdown.
Lastly, NOT loving that new Phoenix voiceover. Why did they change it
... I like that Athena has a voice over though 
Overall... GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE

How many time has this happened on the 3DS so far in North America?
Yes, principles that can make things better for gamers/consumers as a whole in the digital future we're in is truly worthy of ridicule and contempt. Let's all just join the herd and give them whatever they want.
You're right, they don't care. And since you play video games too, you're supporting a bunch of corporations that could give a shit about you as well. We're in this together!

Glad fans are getting this but digital only is garbage. Hope they print some copies.
Glass Rebel

I really hope they end up doing so. 100k print would be nice.
IIRC Nirolak mentioned in a different thread that the smallest print possible is 50k so it's definitely feasible. I would be on it like a starved hooker.

Digital only?! :|
I don't mind if they decide on a small print in 2014. I really dont. As long as I can get a single physical copy, I'd die a happy man.

Didn't Ghost Trick do lesser than expected numbers? I don't know how well the iOS versions sold but hopefully Takumi gets some leeway on his next project.
Don't do this to me Capcom. Or at least port it to Vita or something.

Absolutely. Which is why you shouldn't support practices which further reward apathy where it counts.

Also heads up, people: mainline Ace Attorney games so freaking fine here. They had overblown expectations for AAI, but that didn't bomb as hard as they're claiming.
They're just trying to maximize their profit here. Straight up.

I'm grateful that Capcom is bringing it over. Given the circumstances, this was probably the only profitable path for them. I still plan on buying the game as much as I'd like to own a physical copy.
I moreso have a problem with it being a full fledged digital only game on a platform that has a pretty archaic system when it comes to digital purchases, at least compared to other platforms. I think complaining about that is definitely warranted, at the very least.

Although Shu Takumi is not around, I just have to buy a 3DS IF this game is gonna deliver!
And 4- Guild 01 was practically a collection of DD games as it is, as in games with the kind of budget and length you would probably see in an XBLA or PSN game. Made plenty of sense to go DD with those, even Guild 02's skipping retail globally.
None far as I know, and I suspect most retailers are VERY cold on taking later physical releases unless the games end up being mega hits or it's in the form of a collection. Of which neither will apply here unless they get AAI2 upported and localized, and there may not be space on the cart for both anyway.

A bullshit decision from Capcom. Just do the minimum order shipment first and then reprint if successful. Basically how the first game was.

Uh, okay, put away this over-serious sheeple/consumer rights/not buying a game is activism nonsense. You know Nintendo is working on the account system maybe? Wait till then, or if it doesn't happen, pat yourself on the back because you saved the digital future by not buying a fucking video game.
