About Ace Attorney
GyakutenSaibanLogo

Ace Attorney is a franchise centered around a series of visual novel / adventure hybrid video games developed and published by Capcom. It began as a trilogy of comedic legal thrillers known as Gyakuten Saiban (逆転裁判; lit. "Turnabout Trial") created by Shu Takumi and released for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance handheld game console in Japan between 2001 and 2004. The trilogy was later ported to the Nintendo DS between 2005 and 2007 and released internationally, becoming known as the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy. These games follow the exploits of a passionate rookie defense attorney named Phoenix Wright (Ryūichi Naruhodō in Japan) who fights for his clients in a courtroom setting loosely resembling that of the Japanese legal system, using investigative skills, cross-examinations, and evidence.

Subsequent games have branched off and altered the formula of the original trilogy, as well as starring different protagonists. Among these, two detective games collectively known as Ace Attorney Investigations (逆転検事 Gyakuten Kenji; lit. "Turnabout Prosecutor") place the player in the role of Phoenix Wright's rival, a genius prosecutor named Miles Edgeworth, as he investigates crime scenes using evidence collection, logic, and arguments. A prequel duology set in Meiji-era Japan and Victorian London called The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles stars Ryunosuke Naruhodo, an ancestor of Phoenix Wright, and a version of the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes as two of the main characters.

The original trilogy has also been ported to WiiWare, iOS, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PCs through both physical copies and the Steam digital distribution platform. The original Gyakuten Saiban formula has continued with Apollo Justice and Athena Cykes as new recruits seven years after Phoenix Wright's original adventures.more

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (アルティメット マーヴル VS. カプコン3, Arutimetto Māvuru bāsasu Kapukon Surī) is a crossover fighting game developed by Capcom that is an updated version of Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. After the events of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami disrupted the development schedule for downloadable content for the original game, the additional content was made into a standalone title for a discount retail price. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was released in November 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and was a launch title for the PlayStation Vita.

Phoenix Wright is among the characters added since the previous version, with Maya Fey, the judge and Missile featuring as some of Wright's attacks. Wright was originally planned to be a downloadable character for Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, but this never came to fruition. Despite this, both Wright and Miles Edgeworth did make a cameo appearance during She-Hulk's ending.more

Can I quote you on that?

I was under this tree when I saw Mr. Are'bal.

What were you doing under that tree?
Paul Atishon
A lack of lateral thinking... That is a politician's downfall.
Paul Atishon
That is why, if I'm elected... I promise to think outside the box!
Apollo Justice
Um... uh... The question was, what were you doing under the tree, Mr. Atishon-Wimperson.
Paul Atishon
Feh... I suppose I can't expect a plebeian such as yourself to understand my grand design.
