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: “Turnabout Academy” (Dual Destinies – Case 3)

Phoenix Wright and co. go back to school – by invitation, of course. Phoenix is due to give a defence seminar at Themis Academy, but in classic Ace Attorney fashion something goes horribly wrong. 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 Academy” (Dual Destinies – Case 3)”

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: “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)”

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: “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 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)”

My Idea For A “Fangan” (Danganronpa Fan Game)

Let’s try something completely different to my usual blog post – Danganronpa is one of my favourite videogame series of all time, and many years ago when I first played them I wrote a “Fangan” that never saw the light of day … until now! I found an old plan for my story – “DanganronpaContinue reading “My Idea For A “Fangan” (Danganronpa Fan Game)”
