Capcom recently announced that The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, the compilation title of The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures and its sequel The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve, has topped 500,000 units sold which is an impressive achievement as it’s only been nearly eight months since its release in July 2021 for Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC.
The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures and the sequel The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve are titles that were previously exclusive to Japan on Nintendo 3DS and on mobile platforms. The titles are pre-modern day spin-offs of the modern-day Phoenix Wright titles set in 19th century Japan and Britain. The games follow Ryunosuke Naruhodo, a Japanese student who goes through many trials and tribulations with Japan’s legal system in the Meiji era.

The game’s full description and features via its Steam page can be seen below:
Set in late 19th century Japan and England, each title features five murder-mystery episodes filled with all the drama, laughs, twists, and “turnabouts” you’ve come to expect from the legally labyrinthine legacy of Ace Attorney. Join Ryunosuke Naruhodo, ancestor of series mainstay Phoenix Wright, as he attempts to uncover the secrets behind an international criminal conspiracy and solve a hauntingly baffling cold case while tackling a series of tricky trials along the way. Dozens of hours of attorney action awaits you!
In the course of each case, you’ll speak to witnesses, examine evidence and clues, and attempt to deduce the dastardly intent behind the crime before proceeding to the courtroom. In court, you will hear testimonies, cross-examine witnesses, and present evidence. And of course, it wouldn’t be an Ace Attorney game if you couldn’t shout “OBJECTION!” when you know you’ve got the facts and evidence needed to contradict the prosecution’s claims and prove your client’s innocence.
The game includes a convenient assistance feature in case you hit a dead end in your investigation, so even if this is your first Ace Attorney game, you can get into your amateur sleuthing adventures with ease! Will you be able to crack these clever cases? The game is afoot!
