A Japanese Nintendo Direct aired today centering on two games coming soon to Japan: Ace Attorney 5 and Monster Hunter 4 (a game I myself am very much looking forward to). Trailers were shown, and information was revealed—read on to find out exactly what happened!
Ace Attorney 5 (to be released in English as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies) takes place a year following the events of Ace Attorney 4. The courtroom has been destroyed, and Phoenix must investigate. A new prosecutor has been introduced, and the game will include a myriad of new cases for the player to solve. Assistant Kizuki will use the heart-scope, and this game will see the return of both Klavier and Pearl.
A demo will be out in June, and the game itself will launch July 25th for ¥5,990.

Monster Hunter 4 will be released in Japan on September 14th and will have not one, but two limited-edition 3DS consoles on launch. There will also be a demo event this weekend in Aqua City.
Both the Bug Staff and the Charge Axe were shown in a brand-new trailer, as well as a number of fresh monsters. The trailer is available for viewing in the Japanese eShop. Check out the trailer:
