KURAE! The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles brings together two incredible adventures set a century before the events of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney!
This special trailer features an introduction and closing statements from Shu Takumi – the director and scenario writer of the first three Ace Attorney games as well as both The Great Ace Attorney games – that Ace fans absolutely do not want to miss. Never before released outside of Japan, both The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures and The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve follow the escapades of fledgling lawyer Ryunosuke Naruhodo, his trusty legal aide, Susato Mikotoba, the inimitable detective, Herlock Sholmes, young genius Iris Wilson, and a wide variety of weird and wonderful characters.
Ten cases chock full of intriguing mysteries and courtroom mayhem await you, set against the backdrop of 19th century Japan and England. Before Phoenix, there was Ryunosuke. Seems like being an ace attorney runs in the family after all. The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles comes to PlayStation on July 27th, 2021!
Its not only ps4 it on switch and steam.Great!! Sucks that its ps4 only, this is a mobile franchise to me.

Oh, great! should get added to the OP, unless i missed it? Buying this day 1 on switch.
Semi-unexpected for me. I'd heard about the first game's localization awhile ago, but now apparently we're getting both of them?! This'll probably be a day one purchase.
not that I hate the new look, but it would be neat if they let you switch back and forth with the original pixel art
edit: I'm assuming the games were originally released on DS or 3DS with the same visual style as the original trilogy, maybe I'm wrong
Ohhh, good looking out. I'm in for an import as well, in that case.Website seems to suggest that there will be a Physical version for the Switch only, code in a box style.
Time to import the Japanese physical then.
Is it still worth playing if you don't like the Professor Layton series (it me. I'm the weirdo who doesn't like Layton)?Btw, if you want to play something in anticipation of this, I think most people probably haven't played the ace attorney game shu takumi made right before these: Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Which is honestly underrated, and has mechanical similarities to these two.

Some of the far-out games could be canceled for all we know, so we shouldn't treat that list like the end-all be-all. Plus there are some games missing from the list.it's not, we basically know about upcoming Capcom games until 2024-2025
Its layton heavy, but its easy layton, if thats a consideration. It's definitely a goofy layton (non canon) plot though if thats the issue.Is it still worth playing if you don't like the Professor Layton series (it me. I'm the weirdo who doesn't like Layton)?
Come on dude, its way better than aai 1. It's tied or maybe a little above aa6 for me, which I also enjoyed but was a little shallow.The game is definitely heavier on Layton than Wright. I enjoyed the first couple of courtroom scenes, but the later ones really take the story in a Layton direction (if you've played a couple of Layton games, you'll know what I mean). I was pretty disappointed given Takumi's involvement. If I was rating it as a part of the AA series, I'd put it at the bottom just below AA5 and AAI1
That said, it easily has some of the best Ace Attorney music in the series.

Gematsu does a good job clarifying all Digital/Physical confusion going on out there:
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles announced for PS4, Switch, and PC
Capcom has announced The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC (Steam). It will launch digitally on July 27 in the west for $39.99 and July 29 in Japan for 4,990 yen. A ph…www.gematsu.com
A "Turnabout Collection" will also be available for $59.99 in the west and 6,990 yen in Japan, which includes both The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles and the previously released Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, as well as the art and music bonus "From the Vaults." The PlayStation 4 and Switch versions will be available both physically and digitally in Japan, while the collection will only be available digitally worldwide.
Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright is easily the worst Ace Attorney game by a massive margin. Ace Attorney's writing is really good, while PLvsPW is a collection of horrible anime tropes in a "mystery" that doesn't make sense in the slightest. It's the only Ace Attorney game I would never replay.
