GREAT ACE ATTORNEY IS OUT NOW IN THE WEST! (AUGUST 4TH, 2021)
I know it's pretty late to be saying it here, as the compilation released near the end of July, but Great Ace Attorney Chronicles has finally officially released in English and is available worldwide. While a handful of names were the left the same, some were still changed, so this has the same level of charm as the localizations of older games. In the end, I'm just glad people in the west can get their hands on the game now.
NEWEST ENGLISH TRAILER
WHAT IS ACE ATTORNEY?
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, is a text adventure game released by Capcom in October of 2005 for the Nintendo DS (released a month earlier in Japan under the name "Gyakuten Saiban ~ Yomigaeru Gyakuten"). It is a remake and adaptation of the GBA game Gyakuten Saiban (often translated as "Tournabout Court" or "Comeback Court"), which was released only in Japan in 2001. Gyakuten Saiban 2 and 3, also released on the GBA (and again only in Japan), came out in 2002 and 2004 respectively. The series was received with moderate success and has spawned a modest amount of merchandise, including soundtracks, collectable figures, art and fan books, and a short, promotional manga.
The series has grown by a considerable margin since its release to the DS. Even Capcom employees on their official site have remarked on the unusual amount of word-of-mouth advertising that has spurred Ace Attorney to sell out in the USA again and again. What started as a small adventure series is turning into a cult hit with a small, but steadily growing and very passionate fan base.
PW:AA is an adventure game where you play the part of Phoenix Wright, a novice defense attorney on his first case. It consists of investigation and courtroom sections, in which you gather evidence, speak to witnesses, and then take your findings to court where you "battle" opposing council to get an acquittal for your client. The fifth case takes advantage of the DS features by allowing you to view evidence and character profiles on the bottom screen, along with 3D evidence manipulation and voice recognition.
Gameplay is focused almost entirely on investigation and reasoning, and it's lack of traditional "action" and huge amount of text is off-putting to some gamers. It is often described and marketed as an "interactive novel". The game's strengths are almost entirely in its story and characters, which are brilliantly done with in depth cases and colorful, stylized animations. Those that have compared it to the Sega CD cult hit "Snatcher" are not far off. Phoenix Wright is a charming and unique gaming experience and a must have for any fan of the genre.
