Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Time Traveler” (Spirit Of Justice – Special Case)

We’ve made it – after thirty cases of Deep Diving, we’ve finally reached the most recent cast in the mainline games as of the time of writing this post. “Turnabout Time Traveler” is a special case added onto “Spirit Of Justice” … so is it as special as it claims to be? I’ll be deconstructingContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Time Traveler” (Spirit Of Justice – Special Case)”

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 Revolution” (Spirit Of Justice – Case 5)

It all comes down to this – after four cases of Defiant Dragons teasing, it’s finally time for Dhurke and his crew to take centre stage in “Turnabout Revolution”. Can “Spirit Of Justice” end with a bang? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each.Continue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Revolution” (Spirit Of Justice – Case 5)”

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: “Bridge to the Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 5)

After three games and fourteen cases of storytelling, it all comes down to this. “Bridge to the Turnabout” is a fan favourite case, and for good reason – but will it hold up to an intensive retrospective? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each.Continue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Bridge to the Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 5)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Beginnings” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 4)

“Turnabout Beginnings”, much like the first case of the game, is a flashback case that puts Mia Fey at the helm once more. Over the course of a harrowing trial, we start to understand the horrible events that set the narrative of the present day into motion. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinctContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Beginnings” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 4)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Farewell, My Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 4)

After one great case and two pretty woeful ones, I think a lot of people were sick of “Justice For All” before its final case. After playing “Farewell, My Turnabout”, however, a lot of fans have this game as one of the better entries in the series. That bizarre shift in appreciation will become clearContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Farewell, My Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 4)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Big Top” (Justice For All – Case 3)

Urgh … well I suppose I had to reach this case eventually. “Turnabout Big Top”, the third case in “Justice For All”, is widely hated by everyone … except, weirdly, Shu Takami himself (Ace Attorney’s creator and lead writer). He called this case “basically perfect”, which is incorrect for a plethora of reasons that I’mContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Big Top” (Justice For All – Case 3)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Rise from the Ashes” (Phoenix Wright – Case 5)

Originally a bonus case added to mark the Nintendo DS release of the first game, “Rise from the Ashes” sees Phoenix and Edgeworth battle in the courtroom once more to take on their toughest challenge yet. I have a thing or two to say about this one … so it’s time for a comprehensive DeepContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Rise from the Ashes” (Phoenix Wright – Case 5)”
