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.
The series currently consists of six main series games and five spin-offs.
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a compilation of both Adventures and Resolve to be released in July 2021 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Microsoft Windows. This will be the first time both games are officially available outside of Japan.
See also: List of Ace Attorney characters. The protagonist of the first three games is the defense attorney Phoenix Wright (Ryūichi Naruhodō in the Japanese version), who is assisted by the spirit medium Maya Fey; in the third game, Phoenix's mentor Mia Fey is also a playable character.
In the spin-off series Ace Attorney Investigations, the player takes the role of prosecutor Miles Edgeworth and in the prequel series The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, of Phoenix's ancestor Ryunosuke Naruhodo. The series was created by the writer and director Shu Takumi.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice for All was originally released for the Game Boy Advance in 2002 in Japan; it has also been released for the Nintendo DS in 2006, Microsoft Windows in 2008, the Wii in 2010, and iOS in 2012.

Parents need to know that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a downloadable text-driven legal drama for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS, and Windows PCs. This collection combines three older games into one.
PHOENIX WRIGHT: ACE ATTORNEY TRILOGY is a compilation that collects the first three adventures of Capcom's clever, sharply dressed lawyer into a single game that offers 15 cases spanning nearly 50 hours of playtime.
Aside from spruced-up graphics, there's nothing too surprising to be found in this collection of text-driven games, the oldest of which dates back to 2005 (or 2001 in the series' native Japan).
Another hidden gem of the Ace Attorney series, many have played Ace Attorney Investigations 2 through the outstanding fan translation available online. Not only is this another Japanese-exclusive game in the series, but it also stands out as another sequel better than the original.
The agreed-upon crown jewel of the Ace Attorney series, Trials and Tribulations allowed players to act as three different attorneys throughout the game while also bringing back important characters that make sense in the plot, rather than “just because." If being able to play as Mia Fey wasn't enough to earn first place on this list, then Phoenix Wright's college backstory most certainly is.
With many fans expecting a sequel to Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (and many fans disliking the new character), Capcom took a very different route. The first main series game on the 3DS, Dual Destinies arguably has one of the most fantastic soundtracks for a 3DS game, with renowned composer Noriyuki Iwadare at his best.
A welcome addition to the series, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is the first full game to feature Miles Edgeworth as a protagonist, a complex character (and fan-favourite). Having been playable for a short period in Ace Attorney: Trials & Tribulations, it was almost inevitable that Edgeworth would receive his own series of games. The prosecutor's inner thought process is a delight to watch.
Justice For All is a worthy sequel to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, though it excels in different ways than its predecessor. The intrigue of Edgeworth's disappearance combined with the introduction of a new Von Karma creates a curiosity that can only be sated by pouring over every word of the game. Akemi Kimura does a phenomenal job composing music for every mood and scenario, leaving a lasting impression for weeks afterward.
