Facts from the source article.
Making and release
Characters and environments were fully rendered in 3D, using motion capture from former Takarazuka Revue actress Shiotsuki Shuu for animations.[2] Capcom France stated in September 2015 that there were no plans for a Western release.[3] Because Takumi had long desired to create a Sherlock Holmes game, Holmes was included in the initial concept.[4] In Japan, the Android version launched on August 30, 2017, and the iOS version on August 31, 2017.[5]
A full English fan translation patch, titled The Great Ace Attorney: The Adventures of Ryuunosuke Naruhodou, was made available for the 3DS and Android versions in 2019.[6]
What the cited sources add
A Kotaku article from September 2014 describes Holmes as "the most famous detective in the world" according to Weekly Famitsu.[7] An Anime News Network article from April 2015 reveals that preorders from the e-Capcom online store received a custom Nintendo 3DS theme download code.[8]
