About this product

Get ready to cross-examine your opponents and reason your way to justice in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, releasing for the first time in North America and Europe on July 27, 2021. The collection tells the story of an ancestor of Phoenix Wright, the protagonist of the iconic Ace Attorney courtroom adventure series. In The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, players take on the role of a defense attorney to track down evidence, argue in court and ensure a just ruling. Featuring newly recorded English voices, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles includes The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures and The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve, both previously only available in Japan. Set in the late 19th century during Japan’s Meiji Period and London’s Victorian era, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles follows Ryunosuke Naruhodo as he works to sleuth out the truth in witnesses’ testimonies and clear his clients’ names in court. Players will unravel the mysteries behind 10 thrilling cases and eight mini escapades filled with a zany cast of over-the-top characters – including local ace detective Herlock Sholmes.

    Best Game for Switch

    This game is perfect for those who love playing for a long time, took me 3 hours to finish one case and absolutely love the details Capcom did for the switch port, overall wonderful game.

    Cool Game

    This is a great visual novel game, and definitely a welcome port from Capcom since I love the Ace Attorney Franchise. There's a lot of content packed so I heavily recommend it.

    The Culmination of Ace Attorney

    Another great entry into the Ace Attorney series. It is a prequel set over 100 years before the main games, and there is no need to have played any of the other games to enjoy this one, though you will find plenty of references to previous running gags that were funny. I think I actually like the main cast of this series even more than I liked the original main cast. Herlock Sholmes in particular is something else, and his Deduction Spectaculars are entirely worth witnessing. He's definitely my favorite version of S(Holmes) ever. This game also added about 3 fun new mechanics that aren't in the older games: Multiple witnesses on the stand, who react to what the other witnesses are saying, the aforementioned deduction segments with Sholmes, and the third one will appear some time in court that I don't want to give away any surprises for. All in all, this game is in all fairness not as long as the other ones, but it is highly polished and makes perfect use of the series's transition to 3D. Great Ace Attorney definitely feels like the culmination of every game that came before, and you get two 3DS games for the price of one beautiful HD port that looks fantastic on my TV. It's a steal!

    Ace Attorney

    A great way to play normally Japan only releases. The game follows an ancestor of Phoenix Wright on his legal journey. With many twists and turns, the game keeps you invested at every moment.
