Siliconera's Spencer Yip came across some screenshots of the German localization of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney and rejoiced. Not because German is awesome (although we suppose it is a pretty neat language) but because evidence of any work being done on a version in any European language portends that the English version is even farther along. In fact, if Capcom is even thinking about a European release, we estimate that the US version must have been out for about two years already.More information about the European version can be found at Nintendo's European site, which lists some very Teutonic-sounding names for the twin lawyers known as Garyuu Kirihito and Garyuu Kyouya in Japan: Klavier and Kristoph Gavin. In addition, Apollo's assistant, called Minuki in Japanese, is called Trucy in the European release. Could these be the American character names as well?

I had a good laugh from that one. Haha, good work. Ace Attourney news is always good (sadly even if they don't deal with Phoenix Wright).

If it comes out in Europe first, I'll have to find a way to import it from Europe!

Kristoph Gavin was a name released earlier this year in France, too. However, Minuki's name was Verite.

I hope part III will be here tomorrow, let it be!
But...
German Apollo Justice screenshots?!?! This would mean, I do not have to buy it in Hong Kong? I can walk into a store and actually - BUY - it? Can't be true. Capcom is the slowest company, when it comes to releasing games for the DS in Europe.
But if it is true and Europe is among the first to get part IV, I hope, I can play it in English, no need for a crappy German translation here...

If I remember correctly, there's a game convention in Germany, right? Is there a playable demo there?
