As an Ace Attorney defense lawyer, it’s up to Phoenix and friends to put their complete trust in their clients until the bitter end. Needless to say, some clients are more worth defending than others. I’ll be ranking all thirty-three defendants in the series. It’s worth noting that I’m only ranking them based on theirContinue reading “Every Ace Attorney Defendant Ranked”

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)”
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 Memories” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 1)
Ace Attorney had amassed quite a cult following by 2004, so Shu Takumi and his team needed to pull out all the stops to make the final game in their trilogy a memorable one. The end result, “Trials & Tribulations”, exceeded expectations and then some – and the first case “Turnabout Memories” got it offContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Memories” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 1)”
Every Ace Attorney Mechanic Ranked (Top 10)

There are ten unique Ace Attorney mechanics by my count (not including general investigation & trial contradictions). How would I rank them all? Before we begin,Continue reading “Every Ace Attorney Mechanic Ranked (Top 10)”
Phoenix Wright Games & Cases – Overrated / Underrated
About ten years ago, I first stumbled across a little game called “Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney”. Over the decade since, my love for the franchise has only grown and grown. When you’re a fan of something for so long, you’re bound to develop a spicy opinion or two. Time to ruffle some feathers and sayContinue reading “Phoenix Wright Games & Cases – Overrated / Underrated”

Ace Attorney is one off – if not the – best videogame series I’ve ever played, and a lot of that it down to the jaw-dropping moments littered throughout. I’m not going to look at twists today (as that’s a separate list), but I thought I’d pick my 10 favourite and least favourite moments fromContinue reading “Top 10 Best (& Worst) Ace Attorney Moments”
