Alright. I’ll be honest with you all. Usually when I write these brief introductions I keep my opinion out of it and try to keep specifics vague, but this time there’s no point hiding it – “Turnabout Storyteller” is pointless. It’s a meaningless murder case near the end of “Spirit of Justice’s” runtime. It’s aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Storyteller” (Spirit Of Justice – Case 4)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Rite of Turnabout” (Spirit Of Justice – Case 3)
It’s back to the kingdom of Khura’in for Case 3 – “The Rite of Turnabout”. With Phoenix at the helm and Maya back in the mix, it’s starting to feel like the good ol’ days! 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 Rite of Turnabout” (Spirit Of Justice – Case 3)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Foreign Turnabout” (Spirit Of Justice – Case 1)
After many of these mini retrospectives, we’ve finally reached the most recent of the mainline games – “Spirit Of Justice”. We have a new country to explore this time around … and yet Phoenix seems to stumble across a murder case wherever he goes. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and givingContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Foreign Turnabout” (Spirit Of Justice – Case 1)”
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 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)”
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 Trump” (Apollo Justice – Case 1)
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: “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)”
