“The Great Ace Attorney” marks 10th anniversary with unique home appliance collaboration
The video game publisher Capcom has announced a unique collaboration with the electronics manufacturer Sharp to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the adventure game, The Great Ace Attorney.
The partnership involves a series of custom-designed smart home appliances featuring artwork and character voices from the game.
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, which includes two games, is a spin-off of the main Ace Attorney series that transports players back to Japan’s Meiji Period and Victorian London.
The story follows Ryunosuke Naruhodo, an ancestor of the main series’ protagonist Phoenix Wright, as he studies law and solves complex court cases alongside his judicial assistant, Susato Mikotoba.
In London, they frequently team up with the eccentric detective Herlock Sholmes and his young companion, the author Iris Wilson.
This new collaboration allows fans to purchase Sharp air purifiers and “Healsio Hot Cook” automated multicookers with special designs inspired by the game.
The appliances also come with redemption codes for custom voice packs that use the game’s characters for the device’s audible alerts and notifications, a feature powered by Sharp’s “COCORO VOICE” service.
Two different voice packs will be available for each type of appliance, one featuring Ryunosuke and Susato, and another featuring Herlock Sholmes and Iris.
Current owners of compatible Sharp smart appliances can also purchase these character voice packs separately.
In addition to the appliances, a pair of premium, deluxe acrylic stand sets are also being released to mark the anniversary.
The product lineup and pricing are as follows:
- Customized Air Purifiers
- Designs: “Photograph Ver.,” “Chronicle Ver.,” and “Märchen Ver.”
