It looks like the series The Great Ace Attorney is going to a computer. This is different from the amazing Ace Attorney series, which was already released on a computer in 2019. Let me explain.
Gematsu noted that The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles received a rating on a computer by the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee. The Great Ace Attorney games are spin-offs of the Phoenix Wright detective games.
This is not a big surprise, as the existence of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles was first revealed as a result of the Capcom data breach in November 2020. Chronicles would be The Great Ace Attorney: The Adventure of Ryūnosuke Naruhodō and his sequel, The Resolve of Ryūnosuke Naruhodō, in the same way as the Ace Attorney Trilogy brought together the first three games for a computer.
The Great Ace Attorney games shift the investigations into the court series to the dawn of the 20th century. They were released as Nintendo 3DS exclusive in 2015 and 2017, but were never located in English or released outside of Japan.
Unlike the fourth game, Apollo Justice, these spin-offs have Shu Takumi at the helm, who was the director and writer of the original Phoenix Wright trilogy. At the same time, it adds juries to hearings instead of just a single judge, a feature first introduced in the fourth Ace Attorney game.
Hopefully the bundle will be officially announced soon so we can all pretend to be amazed. In the meantime, visit Katharine and Matthew’s joint review of the Ace Attorney trilogy. They love these games so much that it feels like I’m writing this story.
