Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Confirmed for Early 2024 Nintendo Switch Release

Capcom officially announced that the acclaimed Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is headed to Nintendo Switch in early 2024, offering legal drama fans the chance to experience three iconic courtroom adventures on a modern platform.

This news arrives at a pivotal time for series enthusiasts, following the closure of the Nintendo 3DS eShop in March 2023, which rendered many titles—including two from this trilogy—unavailable for digital purchase. The Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy brings together three celebrated entries from Capcom’s legendary visual novel series: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice.

For the first time, these titles will be available on the Nintendo Switch, providing updated visuals and the convenience of portable or docked play.

Notably, Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice, which had previously been exclusive to the 3DS and were delisted after the eShop shutdown, will finally return to the digital marketplace, ensuring their preservation and accessibility for a new generation of players. In a statement released during the Capcom Showcase 2023, the publisher highlighted the significance of this compilation, reaffirming its commitment to making classic titles accessible on current hardware.

Capcom shared, 'We’re excited to bring these iconic Ace Attorney stories to Nintendo Switch, giving both new and longtime fans the opportunity to experience Apollo Justice, Dual Destinies, and Spirit of Justice with enhanced visuals and updated features.' The collection’s arrival on Nintendo Switch follows a trend of major visual novel and adventure franchises making their way to the platform, driven by strong demand both in Japan and globally.

Capcom’s renewed focus on the series was also demonstrated by previous releases, including the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, which launched on the Nintendo Switch to critical and commercial acclaim.

The continued popularity of the Ace Attorney franchise resonates with players who appreciate its unique blend of courtroom drama, engaging storytelling, and memorable characters. While Capcom has yet to confirm an exact release date for the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy, the publisher has assured fans that the collection is slated for launch in early 2024.

Gamers can expect further updates and trailers through official Nintendo Direct presentations and Capcom’s own channels as the release window approaches. With the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Capcom and Nintendo continue to enrich the Switch library with beloved classics, ensuring that signature titles like these remain accessible even as older storefronts like the 3DS eShop continue to sunset.

Keep an eye on official sources for the latest announcements regarding this highly anticipated release.
