Earlier this year, fans of the Ace Attorney series rejoiced when it was announced that Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy would be released in 2024. However, there was disappointment as it seemed that the collection would only be available in digital format in the West. But now, there’s a new twist to the story that has fans excited once again. A recent tweet from @Wario64 revealed that a physical edition is now available for pre-order at the Canadian store Video Games Plus. This is great news for North American fans who were expecting to pay import costs for the game.
A Surprising Turn of Events
Previously, it was believed that the only way to get a physical copy of the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy in North America was through importing. However, with the announcement from Video Games Plus, fans no longer have to worry about import costs. The North American version is set to release on 25th January 2024, and fans can now pre-order the physical edition for $64.99 CAD (roughly $47 USD / £38).
For those who had already pre-ordered the import version of the game through Video Games Plus, there is an option to switch over to the North American copy. This is fantastic news for fans who were concerned about the additional costs and potential delays that come with importing. It shows that Video Games Plus is committed to providing a seamless experience for all Ace Attorney enthusiasts.
While North American fans can celebrate the availability of a physical edition, it is unclear whether a similar release will be coming to Europe. European fans may still have to rely on importing or purchasing the digital version of the game. Nonetheless, the fact that a physical edition is being released in North America gives hope that there might be similar options for Europe in the future.
The Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy includes three beloved DS/3DS titles: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice. This collection provides a nostalgic throwback to the handheld console era, allowing players to relive the courtroom drama and engage in gripping storytelling.
Fans of the Ace Attorney series can now rejoice at the news of a physical edition of the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy in North America. The availability of this edition not only saves fans from import costs but also provides a tangible experience that many gamers prefer. While European fans may still be uncertain about a physical release, the release of a North American edition gives hope for more options in the future. With the collection’s release on the horizon, fans can prepare themselves for another round of thrilling courtroom drama on the Nintendo Switch.
