Well, this came out of nowhere fast! The Japanese version of Dual Destinies has just been released on iOS in Japan!

https://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/ni-zhuan-cai-pan5/id877880297?mt=8

Additional screenshots here.

The game is playable on iPhone 4S, 5, 5S, and 5C, iPad 2 or newer, and iTouch 5th generation or newer. It requires iOS6.1 to iOS7.1. The game's first episode is available free, with the remainder of the game a paid purchase. The original game's DLC case, "Turnabout Reclaimed", is also available, as are the bonus costumes and (JP-only) quizzes.

The first episode is free, while episodes 2-5 can be purchased for 2000 yen as a pack, or for 600 yen each. The DLC episode is also available for 600 yen.

Thanks to daydreaming over in the AA community thread for the tip!

Update: Confirmed for an English release "soon".

Guess Who · Aug 7, 2014

Would love to see this stateside.

Sandfox · Aug 7, 2014

I honestly did not think this day would come lol.

Hours Left · Aug 7, 2014

Interesting. Looks pretty good actually.

The more ways people have access to this series, the better. Now give us some new Great Ace Attorney scoop!

bobawesome · Aug 7, 2014

This is awesome. I'd much prefer to play this on my iPad than the 3DS.

Neoxon · Aug 7, 2014

Now you're just missing Gyakuten Saiban 4.

Good move, get more people to play the game Capcom.

I'll buy it if there's an Android version. Just to support the series.

BenouKat · Aug 7, 2014

Still waiting for Europe localization...

Comandr · Aug 7, 2014

Damn. I would much rather play this on iOS than my 3ds. Dat hi def feel.

The original trilogy was never released for Android so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I think it was in Japan, but given this is just iOS in Japan for the moment an English Android release looks pretty unlikely.

Then I won't buy it, I already have the 3DS version, I'd just be buying it because I love the series.

hongcha · Aug 7, 2014

This looks really nice. I'm sure it will come out in English, that's easy money and Capcom already released 1-3 on iOS. Might take awhile, though.

Altima · Aug 7, 2014

Can iPad mini play this game ?

kadotsu · Aug 7, 2014

That looks like a very competent port. I hope it comes to the west so more people can enjoy this game.

bobawesome · Aug 7, 2014

Altima said:

Most likely, considering it's like a smaller iPad 2 and that's compatible.

Kyou · Aug 7, 2014

great game, glad more people can play it

Palette Swap · Aug 7, 2014

If they didn't fuck up the framerate/animations this time, it could be awesome.
I'd probably double dip to replay it on iPad.

Given that it's 3D instead of sprites, I don't think they'll run into the same issues. (Thank god.)

VLiberty · Aug 7, 2014

I've yet to get it on 3DS (I'm still missing 3 and 4), if this iOS rerelease has EFIGS languages then I'm in.

LumpOfCole · Aug 7, 2014

This could open the door to episodic Ace Attorney. My heart melts at the possibility.

It won't.

Ace Attorney Trilogy was already like that, just like Ghost Trick. Only way this leads to episodic Ace Attorney is if Capcom decides to make the series a mobile exclusive... which doesn't seem to be happening any time soon.

tauke · Aug 7, 2014

One of those games that I worried to purchase through eShop if I ever get a 3DS due to the complication of Nintendo policy.

Will wait for the English version soon!

Flandy · Aug 7, 2014

Now release it here so I don't have to buy a 3DS

Wait, does this mean you haven't played AA5, yet?

How dare you wear that avatar!

(also, 3DS is a great system, you should get one)

Elija2 · Aug 7, 2014

Apollo Justice isn't on iOS, is it? They probably should have put that game there first.

Also, how do those prices compare to the 3DS version? Are they essentially the same price, or is the iOS version cheaper?

vareon · Aug 7, 2014

This should be good and surely they couldn't screw it up with like AA Trilogy "HD".

Linkstrikesback · Aug 7, 2014

So long as we continue getting 3DS/ Nintendo handheld versions, they can release it on whatever additional platforms they like.

Asbear · Aug 7, 2014

Nice. It can finally played as how it looks in all the promo material. AS always looked like it was meant to be HD

Glass Rebel · Aug 7, 2014

Looks fantastic. I prefer to play AA with buttons but better graphics on a bigger screen should be enough for me to double dip.

RyougaSaotome · Aug 7, 2014

I will gladly shell out 2,000 yen to play this on my iPad mini. The 3D models and background art will look glorious.

Thoraxes · Aug 7, 2014

Buying as we speak.

Zeyphersan · Aug 7, 2014

Is Apollo Justice on iOS?

I've been rocking this avatar for years. Was going to buy an XL mainly for AA but then I got a Wii U instead. On the bright side I got to play AAI2 since the fan translation released recently.

Alfredo · Aug 7, 2014

Downloaded on my Japanese iTunes account and playing on my iPhone 5 and my (ancient non-retina) iPad mini. Man, it looks great! And there's no slowdown when the courtroom doors open like on the 3DS. Crazy!

I hope there's an English release and it gets the game more exposure.

Now I can play three separate instances of Dual Destinies at once if I wanted. >_>

Suzzopher · Aug 7, 2014

I would love for Capcom to put more of their games on Android. Lost my 3DS before this released so not played it.

No.

I think that will be an eternal wait.

Given that the iOS releases of 1-3 removed FIGS* I find it unlikely.

*-I believe Nintendo own the translations rather than Capcom. The WiiWare ports had the translation so I'm hoping the 3DS release of 1-3 also does.

Just joshin', of course. More AA avatars = always a good thing :3

Solid purchasing decision, as well.

I haven't played DD yet, does it even make sense without Apollo Justice?

The initial (non-Retina) release of AA1 on iOS had EFIGS so nope.

Apollo Justice is pretty important to the overall story of the series, but you could just watch a playthrough or read a wiki if you want.

Wow it was fast!

It looks good because even without big efforts 3d looks better on higher resolution, on the other hand 2d needs more work.

Thoraxes · Aug 7, 2014

Some screens from my iPad Air.

daydream · Aug 7, 2014

^Looks really nice, I have to say. I wonder if any problems will crop up after people put more time into it.

FluxWaveZ · Aug 7, 2014

Alright. These announcements always make me think about a future where Ace Attorney would only be released on mobile platforms and I don't like it, but this is cool for more exposure.

Games like this don't need physical controls, a big touchscreen is probably the best way to play them(after a mouse).

I guess you can bet on that,
but as a counter example:
Chrono Trigger got additional translation for the iOS/Android releases*.
So there is some hope.

(*or maybe before iOS, but after DS)
