Project X Zone 2 (プロジェクト クロスゾーン2：ブレイブニューワールド Purojekuto Kurosu Zōn 2: Bureibu Nyū Wārudo; lit. Project X Zone 2: Brave New World) is a tactical role-playing game for the Nintendo 3DS developed by Banpresto and Monolith Soft and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. A crossover game featuring characters from Sega, Capcom, and Bandai Namco, it is the sequel to Project X Zone, which itself was a follow-up to the Japan-exclusive PlayStation 2 game Namco ✕ Capcom. It was released in November 12, in Japan, December 10 in Korea of 2015, February 16 in North America, and February 12 in Europe of 2016.[1]
The Ace Attorney series is represented in the game by Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey, who feature in the game as a solo unit that can be assigned to pair units in order to assist with an attack. However, unlike most solo units, Wright and Fey also work as a pair themselves. The Steel Samurai and Pink Princess also make a minor appearance as characters that Wright and Fey can summon.[2] Miles Edgeworth also makes a cameo appearance as a non-playable character.[3] The speech bubbles and voice acting associated with these characters are in Japanese even in non-Japanese versions of the game.
Story
Within the context of the Project X Zone universe, the Magatama has more than just the power to let the user see and break Psyche-Locks. This is seen when Morrigan pours her powers into it and Fey wishes upon it for Wright's "Objection!" to be a lethal attack, which is how the two of them are able to use such means to fight monsters.

Non-playable rival units
Gameplay
Ace Attorney fighting style
As a joint solo unit, Wright and Fey can be called to assist the primary fighter by pressing the R button during a battle. When they're called into battle, Wright appears on the right of the screen with the primary fighters, while Fey appears on the left. Fey summons a Psyche-Lock, which breaks any barrier that the enemy has. Wright then throws documents at the enemy, and Fey throws some confetti at them at the same time. After this, she runs towards Wright while performing spinning arm punches.
During Fey's assault, the Steel Samurai and Pink Princess appear. The Steel Samurai performs a few attacks, and then he and the Pink Princess both pierce the enemy from either side using their weapons. When Fey gets back to Wright, he yells, "Matta!" (Hold it!) at the enemy, the speech bubble knocking the enemy back. Wright and Fey then both simultaneously point at the enemy and shout out "Igiari!" (Objection!), damaging said enemy.
Ace Attorney references
There are several references to characters and events within the Ace Attorney series:
- When Ken asks Wright if he's interested in a position in his company's German office, Wright replies, "And leave America to face HER again? That whip hurts."
- Fey expresses her surprise at the ninjas Strider Hiryu and Hotsuma, asking them where their "red guitars" are.
- When Morrigan charges Fey's magatama with her powers, Wright recalls the time when "Maya's cousin Pearl" did the same thing.
- Fey is told she has room for growth by Vashyron, and responds that he should see her while she's "channelling [her] sister".
- Reiji Arisu, Xiaomu, and Fey recreate the Steel Samurai scene seen in the episode Turnabout Samurai.
- Chris Redfield notes that if Wright is an accurate representation of lawyers, then it's a miracle the courts have avoided catastrophes and injuries. Wright notes that they haven't exactly avoided them.
- At one point, Wright mentions, "Huh. Maybe all that forensics Ema taught me will come in handy here..."
Additionally, Wright's pre-battle conversation with Yuri Lowell has Lowell say, "You gotta learn to keep cool under pressure. That's the mark of a great swordsman." Wright then retorts, "Hey, come up with your own material!", referencing one of Wright's victory quotes from Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
Errors
The Crosspedia entry for Miles Edgeworth describes him as changing his ways of prosecuting after defending Wright when he was accused of kidnapping Fey, an event that never took place in the Ace Attorney series.
