With the Ace Attorney trilogy coming to its natural conclusion, Shu Takumi assumed that his hit lawyer series was over and done with. But, after Capcom pushed for a sequel, Takumi came back in order to get it right. The first case of the new Apollo Justice era is “Turnabout Trump”, a murky romp withContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Trump” (Apollo Justice – Case 1)”

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)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Reunion, and Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 2)
“Reunion, and Turnabout”, the second case of “Justice For All”, is unique in that it’s the first Ace Attorney case to be told out of order. Chronologically, it takes place before “The Lost Turnabout” and is framed as Phoenix recounting his unorthodox reunion with Maya. Many fans consider this a step up from the openingContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Reunion, and Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 2)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Lost Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 1)
After the success of the first game, Shu Takami – Ace Attorney’s primary writer – was ordered by Capcom to make an entire trilogy. After months of writing and re-writing, and after being rushed by tight deadlines, it wasn’t long before “Justice For All” released in Japan. Its first case “The Lost Turnabout” has aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Lost Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 1)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Samurai” (Phoenix Wright – Case 3)
“Turnabout Samurai” is easily the most controversial case in the first Ace Attorney game – most think it birthed the infamous “Case Three Syndrome”, while others (including myself) find it charming and harmless … but will it hold up to a intensive retrospective? 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: “The First Turnabout” (Phoenix Wright – Case 1)
Since Ace Attorney 7 is taking longer than I thought, I’ve ended up going back to the classics for a sort of nostalgic retrospective. I love this series so much, but the original trilogy still holds a special place in my heart – so that seems the best place to start an (un)official Deep Dive!Continue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The First Turnabout” (Phoenix Wright – Case 1)”
Ace Attorney – Top 50 Tracks
I love Ace Attorney. I love a great videogame soundtrack. Therefore the fact that I haven’t made this type of list yet baffles me – so to make up for it, I’m ranking a whopping fifty tracks across the entire series (spinoffs included!). Let’s get the boring stuff out of the way first – thisContinue reading “Ace Attorney – Top 50 Tracks”
Ace Attorney Series – Pursuit Themes Ranked
I’ve already made a list ranking every single case from the Ace Attorney games, so it’s no secret that I’m a big fan of the series. One of my favourite aspects of the Lawyer / Investigation / Visual Novel fusion of games has to be the outstanding music – there are so many iconic tracks,Continue reading “Ace Attorney Series – Pursuit Themes Ranked”
Phoenix Wright Trilogy – Cases Ranked
This trilogy caught me completely off-guard – I’d never think I’d like a game that is essentially a Japanese novel, but here we are. Consisting of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Justice For All, and Trials & Tribulations, this lawyer series has become a favourite of mine, and it’s many twists and character moments will stickContinue reading “Phoenix Wright Trilogy – Cases Ranked”
