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)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Succession” (Apollo Justice – Case 4)
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: “Turnabout Serenade” (Apollo Justice – Case 3)
“Turnabout Serenade”, the third case of “Apollo Justice”, has a bit of a sour reputation in the Ace Attorney fanbase. Some see it as a perpetuation of the infamous “third case syndrome” while others, such as myself, used to rank it as middling relative to the rest of the series. But do I still lookContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Serenade” (Apollo Justice – Case 3)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Corner” (Apollo Justice – Case 2)
“Turnabout Corner” is the second case of “Apollo Justice”, and it immediately follows the high-stakes intensity of “Turnabout Trump” with more earth-shattering revelations about characters we thought we knew. Only joking – it’s a rudimentary filler case. 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 Corner” (Apollo Justice – Case 2)”
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: “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 categoriesContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Recipe For Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 3)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Stolen Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 2)
“The Stolen Turnabout” is a filler case, no doubt about it, but it remains one of the fanbase’s favourite filler cases in the series. That being said, I have my personal gripes … I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each. This will give aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Stolen Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 2)”
Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane – Every Case Ranked
I went into “Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane” expecting an Ace Attorney rip-off with a sprinkling of magic, but it’s so much more than that – it’s a fantastic homage to one of my favourite series with some new twists to make the story unique. I’ll rank all five cases, but I may delveContinue reading “Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane – Every Case Ranked”
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)”
