An artist is poisoned in his studio, a magic troupe’s dark secrets are revealed, and an old foe rears his ugly head. It’s final case time, and “Turnabout Succession” has a lot to say! 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 Succession” (Apollo Justice – Case 4)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Recipe For Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 3)
“Recipe For Turnabout” was supposed to be a case from “Justice For All” but it ended up getting cut and repurposed for “Trials & Tribulations”. It fits neatly into the third case slot … but does it continue the trend of unfortunate Phoenix Wright third cases?

I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Samurai” (Phoenix Wright – Case 3)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Sisters” (Phoenix Wright – Case 2)
After a fairly standard tutorial case, I was ready for Ace Attorney to truly wow me. While it didn’t accomplish that (for reasons I’ll explain shortly), it was certainly a step in the right direction – albeit a small one. Like with how I reviewed The First Turnabout, I’ll be evaluating the merits of “TurnaboutContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Sisters” (Phoenix Wright – Case 2)”
Top 30 Ace Attorney Characters
I recently did a ranking of Great Ace Attorney main characters, and that got me thinking – what are my favourite characters across the WHOLE series? A couple of things to look out for – the spinoff series will be fair game this time around, and there might be major SPOILERS ahead. I did aContinue reading “Top 30 Ace Attorney Characters”
Every Major Ace Attorney Character Ranked
I bet you thought I’d run out of Ace Attorney lists – well think again! I’ve ranked the characters in the Danganronpa series, so I thought I’d give the Ace Attorney series a go. Now, it’s a little trickier doing Ace Attorney compared to Danganronpa – there are hundreds of characters, most of whom youContinue reading “Every Major Ace Attorney Character Ranked”
