"Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney 'Japan only'"

I sincerely hope this is wrong but they do say that if there are enough comments that it may receive an international release.

One can hope but my pessimism is in high gear at the moment.

Next one who points the "Japan only" thing will get an anti-cookie from me.

Seriously. :| I was having fun reading everyone's excitement and theories, and then suddenly the last 3 pages are nothing but "WE'LL NEVER SEE THIS GAME, SOB." when... seriously, it just got announced yesterday. They don't even have a Japanese release date yet, so of course they're not talking about international releases. It's not a finished game yet, so uh, chill. If that blog is an official Capcom America blog, then that entry cries "I'm getting paid for pageviews/comments, so I'm going to say something to cause outrage to draw people to site and gain attention." It's taking the complete norm of how things work and going "THE SKY IS FALLING".

Chill. Watch the trailer. Freak out. Be excited. Sure, comment on the blog entry, but take this for what it is: a random blog stating the obvious in a misleading manner. :think:

I registered at the forum finally (been a stalker forever) because this combined with the GK2 announcement has me floating on a cloud of bliss.

Love Phoenix, love Layton. I cannot wait to see the amazing cutscenes that make the Layton games so charming and heartwarming. It looks like the Japanese voice actors have been chosen well, but I wonder if they'll go with different VAs for this than they've used in the past (for the "Objection!" "Take that!") voice clips.

Doesn't the profile of the man in the wagon look like... Don Paolo?

Translation of http://layton-vs-gyakuten.jp/ anywhere? Please? :c

Guys, didn't Capcom do this for EVERY AA game too though?

Oh, we're not releasing AA2. Well, maybe if you guys all do a fanart contest.

SURPRISE WE'RE RELEASING IT!

Oh, but probably not AA3 since the second one didn't sell so well.

JK! Here it is!

Capcom just wants to hear fans want it is all.

And if you read the blog, he never used definitives.

Icer, I think you're confusing Capcom Press with Capcom Unity.

Capcom Unity is like, the OFFICIAL, Capcom fansite. What's cool is that a lot of Capcom staff post there. But remember, it's still a fansite. As in, they've got fans they've hired to run the blogs. Croik might know better then I about who's who (Capcom vs Fans in staff), but I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Jgonzo didn't know any more then we did about the localization. And if you read the blog, he never used definitives.

Besides... why would Capcom decide if the game gets localized? Wouldn't it make more sense on neutral ground between Level-5 and Capcom? Or at least, word of a parallel topic on Level-5's HQ?

Has the trailer music been released at all, by any chance?

Thing is, if this sells well then it will make more interest in Ace Attorney among the Layton fans.
If they do this right, we'll get a lot more fans of AA around. It's already working inversely; I want to play Prof. Layton, now!

People who are fangasming over the orchestrated Layton's Theme on the official site, that piece has been around for almost 2 years already. It was used in a couple of trailers for the Eternal Diva last year, and it has been played at a couple of vgm orchestra concerts, (eg. PLAY! vgm concert in Taiwan) Sooo yeahhh, nothing new. You could also find HQ versions of that song floating around on Youtube way before this.

They will. The Objection-TakeThat-HoldIt-Clips were done by Capcom employees and Exchange Students from various countries in Japan. (The German "voice" of Franziska did never even play a video game, let alone actually voice anyone, in her life and only did the job because she got 70€ for it) It would be hard to localize a whole game with people like this, especially considering that most of them probably won't even be found again, since they didn't leave Capcom with anything but their name for the credits.

Did anyone notice that there was already a TVTropes page? And that it's already started to fill out rather nicely in so short a time? I hope the page EXPLODES with Tropey goodness once more info/the actual game is released.

Yeah, but too many news sites are reporting it like it's a 'fact' also It's not a 'random blog' either, this is some official Capcom staffer of some kind. And they're actively needling us into 'posting comments of support'. Apart from the obvious of making more people sign up for their site, who knows, maybe they really will use this as 'evidence" in a sales pitch to Capcom Japan to localise it? I say post your 'support' no matter what. It might get the game localised FASTER also. Oh, quite interesting article linked above.

Yet, so many people took it the wrong way...

Whatever a Community Manager does. (Tell me!) Marketing, I guess, but I assume they report back to Capcom? The original um, worst case assumption seems to have been raised by this article's speculations, and the other news sites now report it like fact. Quote: Besides... why would Capcom decide if the game gets localized? Wouldn't it make more sense on neutral ground between Level-5 and Capcom? Or at least, word of a parallel topic on Level-5's HQ? Yeah, um, since it's Nintendo who distributes Layton in the West, what is going to happen with the licensing and distribution of the game and its localisation?????? I think Capcom would do a better job of localising it from a PW perspective because it might have more continuity of characterisation. But Layton probably has more weight.

Both Capcom and Level 5 have branches in the west, and they handle their own games there, so I see no problem in localizing the game for western audiences.

Maybe Capcom and Nintendo will localise it together and Capcom could do the PW parts.

Post subject:	Re: Professor Layton vs GyakutenSaiban
just to say my opinion xD I understand when you say it's too early to say there will be no western release, but I think that doesn't necessarily mean they will release it here. PW didn't get the sales they will, and maybe this crossover won't sell in the Professor Layton-fanbase because of this (though I'm pretty sure every AA-fan will buy it). Capcom could see it as too much work to translate it all, with the voices and stuff, and to release it here, when it doesn't get the sales they want. Yeah, it IS too early to freak out over a 'japan-only'-release, but that doesn't mean they won't do it. Think of GS3. Nobody thought they would release it here, and in the end GS4 was released before GS3. Ya. I know. patience. just didn't like the "they will release it for SURE"-thingie.
