Capcom officially announced that Ace Attorney 5 would be headed to North America and Europe this fall. It will be only available on the 3DS via the e-store, and will be titled "Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies". Dual Destinies will be set 8 years after the last Ace Attorney game, and Phoenix Wright will be returning to the courtroom alongside Apollo Justice and new character Athena Cykes. It will also feature a brand new fully 3D crime scene investigation mechanic which will allow you to view larger areas of the crime scene and zoom in and out for different perspectives. Capcom also released a demo that you can play in your browser, the bad news is, its only in Japanese. If you'd like to check it out and give it a try anyways, you can play it here.
Ace Attorney won't be the only game to point your finger at on the 3DS this fall. Pokemon X and Y are also coming this October.

In this new installment, you will also be able to ride some Pokemon as mounts. For more information, check out the official website.
A few weeks ago Disney sold exclusive rights to develop Star Wars games to EA games. This past week, EA has confirmed that they have opened up a new DICE studio in Los Angeles for the sole purpose of working on Star Wars titles. They have not announced any specific plans but here's hoping for a Battlefront 3. In other EA related news, they took a step in the right direction this week when they decided to stop using using online passes with their games. This will allow easier access to online features for players who prefer to buy used games.
