Every Ace Attorney Culprit Ranked

Have you ever cornered the culprit in an Ace Attorney case and said to yourself “God, I HATE them?“. Well, if you have, they probably fall into two categories – the culprits who are so memorable and hateable that they become iconic … and the ones that are just outright annoying. I’m going to rankContinue reading “Every Ace Attorney Culprit Ranked”

Every Ace Attorney Defendant Ranked

As an Ace Attorney defense lawyer, it’s up to Phoenix and friends to put their complete trust in their clients until the bitter end. Needless to say, some clients are more worth defending than others. I’ll be ranking all thirty-three defendants in the series. It’s worth noting that I’m only ranking them based on theirContinue reading “Every Ace Attorney Defendant Ranked”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Reclaimed” (Dual Destinies – Special Case)

“Turnabout Reclaimed” is a DLC case for Dual Destinies that sees Phoenix and Athena investigate a murder at an aquarium. There are pirates, penguins, and singing orca … but just what on earth happened at the Shipshape Aquarium? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten forContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Reclaimed” (Dual Destinies – Special Case)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout For Tomorrow” (Dual Destinies – Case 5)

“Turnabout For Tomorrow” picks up right where “The Cosmic Turnabout” left off – Athena is accused of Clay Terran’s murder, a mysterious Phantom is still running amok, and Apollo is still donning bandages and an eyepatch. One thing’s for sure – we’ve got an Ace Attorney finale on our hands! I’ll be deconstructing the caseContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout For Tomorrow” (Dual Destinies – Case 5)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Cosmic Turnabout” (Dual Destinies – Case 4)

Dual Destinies began with an explosion, so it’s only fitting that the finale kicks off with a bang. Though this isn’t the final case, “The Cosmic Turnabout” is the first part of a fantastic climax. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each. This willContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Cosmic Turnabout” (Dual Destinies – Case 4)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Academy” (Dual Destinies – Case 3)

Phoenix Wright and co. go back to school – by invitation, of course. Phoenix is due to give a defence seminar at Themis Academy, but in classic Ace Attorney fashion something goes horribly wrong. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each. This will giveContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Academy” (Dual Destinies – Case 3)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Monstrous Turnabout” (Dual Destinies – Case 2)

Case 2 of Dual Destinies – “The Monstrous Turnabout” – takes us back in time chronologically to when Apollo first met Athena. Their meeting, however, comes in the middle of a small town locked room murder mystery investigation … because of course it does. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and givingContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Monstrous Turnabout” (Dual Destinies – Case 2)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Countdown” (Dual Destinies – Case 1)

We’ve entered a new era of Ace Attorney – Shu Takumi is no longer the creative force behind the games, and for better or for worse that led to a fresh take on the Ace Attorney canon with “Dual Destinies”. The first case, “Turnabout Countdown”, certainly kicks things off with a bang. I’ll be deconstructingContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Countdown” (Dual Destinies – Case 1)”

Every Ace Attorney Mechanic Ranked (Top 10)

I love the Ace Attorney series, and I especially love some of the mechanics … not the people that fix cars – the enhancements to trial and investigation gameplay. There are ten unique Ace Attorney mechanics by my count (not including general investigation & trial contradictions). How would I rank them all? Before we begin,Continue reading “Every Ace Attorney Mechanic Ranked (Top 10)”
