Ace Attorney 6 Game's 8-Minute Prologue Anime Video Streamed

CAPCOM's official website for its Gyakuten Saiban 6 (Ace Attorney 6) Nintendo 3DS game began streaming the game's eight-minute prologue anime video on Thursday.

The game will ship in Japan on June 9, and it will retail for 5,800 yen (about US$51) for the package version and 5,546 yen (US$48) for the download version. Those who purchase the limited edition of the game will have access to two extra short stories in the game. One scenario will revolve around Phoenix Wright (Ryūichi Naruhodo) in Kurain, and the other will revolve around Apollo Justice (Hōsuke Ōdoroki) in Japan. Additionally, those who purchase the first copies of the game will get special costumes for Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, and Athena Cykes (Kokone Kizuki).

The game's theme is a "courtroom revolution." The game is set in a country called the Kurain Kingdom, a "country of mystery and faith." The game contains a "Courtroom of Resignation" where defendants are only told to give up, as the Kurain code of law decrees that the court needs no lawyers. The game will feature two protagonists: Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice. While Phoenix's story will be set in the Kurain Kingdom, Apollo's story is set in Japan. The "Mood Matrix" system from the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies game will return in Ace Attorney 6.

Ace Attorney 6 is also in development for the West.
