Ace Attorney Discussion Thread

So, who here has played the Ace Attorney games? What did you think of them? I only started playing them about a year ago but was instantly hooked. The stories are just so amazing.

I'm currently playing the new game, Dual Destinies, and I'm going through the DLC case at the moment. I haven't beaten the main game yet (up to the 4th case), but I'm doing the DLC because many people told me that there is a twist in it which is important to the main game.

So yeah, how about you? Are you an attorneys fan?

Never played them but they sound interesting. What consoles are they for?

The first three games (Phoenix Wright, Justice For All, and Trials and Tribulations) are on:
- GBA (Japanese cart only, contains English translation)
- DS
- Wii (WiiWare)
- WiiU (in Wii mode, buy it from WiiWare)
- iOS
They also recently announced that they will be re-released for 3DS soon, but only in Japan.

The 4th game (Apollo Justice) is only on DS.

The spin-off, Ace Attorney Investigations, is only on DS. Its sequel is also on DS, but is only available in Japanese (no-translation).

The 5th game (Dual Destinies) is on 3DS.

Another spin off / crossover is coming to the 3DS within the next couple of months, which is Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, which might be worth looking at if you're a fan of Professor Layton.

So yeah. I would highly recommend starting from the start and playing through the whole story instead of just grabbing the first one you come across.
