Visual novels can be very hit-and-miss at times. Without the right story and dialogue married to the correct balance of interactivity from the player, they can too often descend into dull melodramas where player agency is reduced to skipping through an endless stream of cutscenes. So when the very first Ace Attorney confidently strode onto Game Boy Advance in 2001, it took the limited scope of the genre and used your involvement to create a fun and exciting courtroom adventure that spawned two equally brilliant sequels.

And while the Ace Attorney series has found its quality levels fall and rise over the years in the spin-offs that followed, the original Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy remains the franchise’s absolute pinnacle. All three sit among some of the best games to ever grace Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS (which they were ported to for their Western release, starting in 2005), selling over 6.7 million copies worldwide, and now they’ve been tarted up and optimised for another successful Nintendo platform.
