Ace Attorney devs say series went to 3D graphics after Professor Layton crossover success

You may recall that, last year, it was announced that Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy would be coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on January 26th, 2024. Well, that day is now less than 2 weeks away. With the release so close, producer Kenichi Hashimoto was recently interviewed by Play Magazine to talk about the trilogy and the Ace Attorney series in general.

During the interview, Hashimoto talks about why the series switched to 3D graphics. Hashimoto said that “We had no plans to shift to 3D with Apollo Justice. During the development of the fifth game, Dual Destinies, we saw how successful the 3D visuals were in Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney. Combined with the capabilities of the ten-current Nintendo 3DS hardware, we felt that we couldn’t ignore the 3D possibilities. So we tried out a visual style of 3D models which looked like 2D art, and it turned out even better than we expected”.
