Gyakuten Kenji trailer and a rant 


More Ace Attorney is always a good thing, except for Europe, where the final part of the Phoenix Wright trilogy, Trials and Tribulations, still hasn't received a release date. Even more worrying is that the company that handled the localisation of Apollo Justice doesn't have Trials and Tribulations on their project schedule.

This reminds me of the bad old days of the SNES, where Europe was frequently overlooked on the release schedule of some classic games. We didn't get a Final Fantasy until VII was released on the Playstation, and Dragon Quest finally came to us 20 years after the series began with VIII (or Journey of the Cursed King).

There are obviously many reasons why porting games for Europe can be time-consuming (translation into 5 languages or more being a huge one), but if companies like Capcom keep dragging their feet over the release of popular games, then why should they complain if people import or download fan-subbed ROMs? The internet provides what companies are too slow or unwilling to give to people who just want to play / watch something that takes their interest without having to wait for months or years for an official release in their region.

Sort it, Capcom!
