Ace Attorney is a series of adventure video game legal dramas developed by Capcom. The first entry in the series, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, was released in 2001; since then, five further main series games, as well as various spin-offs and high-definition remasters for newer game consoles, have been released. Additionally, the series has seen adaptations in the form of a live-action film and an anime, and has been the base for manga series, drama CDs, musicals and stage plays .
It was released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015 in Japan; it has also been released for Android and iOS in 2017 in Japan. The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve is the second entry in The Great Ace Attorney series.
The Ace Attorney Investigations spin-off series splits the gameplay into investigation phases and rebuttal phases , the latter of which is similar to the courtroom trials of the main series. During the investigation phases, the player searches for evidence and talks to witnesses and suspects. Things the player character notices in the environment are saved as thoughts; the player can use the "logic" system to connect two such thoughts to gain access to new information. At some points, the player can create hologram reproductions of the crime scene, through which they can discover new information that would otherwise be hidden. Ace Attorney Investigations 2 introduces "logic chess", where the player interrogates witnesses in a timed sequence that is visualized as a game of chess, with the player aiming to destroy the other character's chess pieces. To do this, they need to build up their advantage in the discussion by alternating between speaking and listening, and then choose to go on the offensive.
The series currently consists of six main series games and five spin-offs.
The Ace Attorney series has been credited with helping to popularise visual novels in the Western world. Vice magazine credits the Ace Attorney series with popularising the visual novel mystery format, and notes that its success anticipated the resurgence of point-and-click adventure games as well as the international success of Japanese visual novels. According to Danganronpa director Kazutaka Kodaka, Ace Attorney ' s success in North America was due to how it distinguished itself from most visual novels with its gameplay mechanics, which Danganronpa later built upon and helped it also find success in North America.
The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve is the second entry in The Great Ace Attorney series. It was released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2017 in Japan; it has also been released for Android and iOS in 2018 in Japan.
Originally a Japan-only game, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles will come out worldwide on July 27, 2021, on PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC.
The two games bundled in here are Adventures and Resolve . While Adventures brought the Ace Attorney series forward with the new jury and Joint Reasoning gameplay mechanics, Resolve refined the cases and expanded the story of the duology. Both games will be a great way for players to experience crime and court dramas.
Capcom announced that it will be releasing two classic games in the Ace Attorney series in English for the first time this July. The new collection, titled The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, bundles The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures and The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve in one package that will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Steam for $39.99 on July 27th.
Unlike the Ace Attorney games starring Phoenix Wright, which take place in modern day, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles are set in the late 19th century during the Meiji period and the Victorian era. You play as Ryūnosuke Naruhodō, a defense attorney and an ancestor of Wright, to try to prove that your clients are innocent in court.
There’s a character named Herlock Sholmes. Like other Ace Attorney games, you’ll team up with a motley crew of characters along the way, including a detective that’s actually named Herlock Sholmes.
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles also offers a Story Mode that lets the game play itself so you can follow along with what’s going on as if it were a TV show or visual novel. The mode can be toggled on or off whenever you want, so I could see myself using it to get past a particularly tricky section.

The first game was conceived in 2000 when Takumi's boss at the time, Shinji Mikami, gave him six months to create any type of game he wanted to; Takumi had originally joined Capcom wanting to make mystery and adventure games, and felt that this was a big chance for him to make a mark as a creator…
The localization of the first game was outsourced to Bowne Global, and was handled by the writer Alexander O. Smithand the editor Steve Anderson. While the Japanese version takes place in Japan, the localized version is set in the United States: because one of the episodes involves time zones, they had to specify where the game takes place, and chose the United States without thinking a lot about it. The Japanese justice system of the original still remained intact in the loc…
