“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: “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)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Beginnings” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 4)
“Turnabout Beginnings”, much like the first case of the game, is a flashback case that puts Mia Fey at the helm once more. Over the course of a harrowing trial, we start to understand the horrible events that set the narrative of the present day into motion. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinctContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Beginnings” (Trials & Tribulations – 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 categoriesContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Recipe For Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 3)”
