The games in this collection are an upward slope of quality and intrigue. The first game is a rough start. The second game is the same but better. The third game is just about everything I came to love about this series. The Rise from the Ashes bonus chapter is a stinky pile of diarrhea dookie shit that I will never replay ever ever again.
Love the series, serious filler though
Simply charming. My favorite visual novel series and probably my favorite Capcom series now. The OST is timeless and the story and characters are awesome! Play this game if you want to tell people you still read books while also solving puzzles.
It's time I talk about one of my favorite game series. I will talk about each game individually, but there are some things I can mention about this collection.
It simply delivers on what it needs to do. No fancy UI, no bonus material, concept art, music or anything like that. This is just the first three games in the Ace Attorney franchise and that is pretty much it.
I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing, but compared to a game like The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, it is a bit lacking. However, they did add the bonus case made for the DS port of the first game, which is appreciated.
I also think this version of the game is probably one of the better ones out there, if not the best. Not only do you get to play these amazing games on a handheld like in their original console, but I do also prefer the way this game looks compared to the HD version on newer consoles and Steam. It just looks more faithful to the original artstyle of these games.
Overall, if you have never played these games before, I would recommend you to get this version of the game if you can, or just in general. It's a damn good trilogy and definitely worth your time.

Masterclass, dans tous les points (me manque quelques trophées Steam, surtout ces DAMN escabeaux et échelles)
Eu ainda tô no 4 caso mas nada me deixou tão entediado quanto investigar o caso 3 do samurai de aço, só por isso dou 4 estrelas por enquanto (o cap é mt longo, quase droppei) tirando isso até agr só alegria, cada caso sendo muito pé no chão e plausíveis onde você pode descobrir as coisas antes mesmo de serem reveladas, personagens carismáticos e principalmente os diálogos, o jogo tem uma criatividade e uma diferenciação entre os personagens, cada um tem seu jeito de falar e a personalidade deles é transparecida facilmente pelos textos, o que é um diferencial se comparar com outras visual novels em que raramente é possível saber quem está falando apenas lendo por serem textos genéricos e sem identidade, além do mais os textos são "interativos" se um personagem está falando sem parar o jogo automaticamente skipa as caixas de diálogo pra representar como é difícil entender o que o personagem fala, ou quando as palavras aparecem pausadamente, tudo nesse jogo é simples mas bem pensado e imersivo, espero que eu continue com essa visão até o fim

Completed on DS and 3DS
Truly some of the best visual novels of all time, full of memorable likable characters and balances it's mix of funny, heartfelt and epic moments expertly it's no wonder Pheonix Wright has become so memorable even to people who dont play visual novels/adventure games. There are some obtuse solutions to progress typical from the genre but not nearly as bad as some of those early 90s point and click adventure games, and once you get into a flow state of disamantling testimony with your aquired evidence, that feeling cant be beat
To get a little more in depth:
Pheonix Wright Ace Attorney: Fits the role of an introductory game beautifully , I feel like all the cases in this game are strong with very little dragging, case 5 does go on a bit long but I feel like the DS-Exclusive gameplay elements keep you engaged (blowing into the microphone, examing 3d modeled evidence) Ema being a strong sidekick for this case and great characters also helps. I wish Mia was in the story a bit longer and case 2's villian is super lame, but this is made up for in the third game in my opinion, great game!
Justice For All: As many have stated, definitely the weakest game in the inital trilogy, cursed with two (case 1 and 3) of the worst cases in the trilogy, case 3 has the triple whammy of pretty bad characters, is pretty boring, and as immese leaps in logic even for the series standard, but enduring this case rewards you with one of the best cases in the series in Case 4 which plays out like a thriller movie, was glued to the game pretty much as soon as this case starts, case 2 is very solid as well, overall still a great game and introduces Fransiska and Pearl to the series which is a big plus
Trials and Tribulations: Easily the best of the trilogy, gives you pretty much everything you could want, a satisfying conclusion to Pheonix's and Maya's stories, pretty much all cases are bangers including the filler cases, origin cases with Mia, playable Edgeworth and a court battle against Fransiska and a great overarching villian, it may be because Ive gotten used to these games by the third one but it feels like solutions are alot easier to figure out in this one, this one really ties the games together and is worth getting through all of them just for this one
Overall: 10/10 experience beat these originally when I was younger on the DS and replayed them recently on the 3ds and they are just as good if not better then I remember

Un gioco che mi mancava, davvero interessante
beautiful game beautiful lawyers
Playing these with my girlfriend was so much fun
The best Visual Novel of all time.
Always a series I've enjoyed but never one I've actually finished! Pretty sure I've played it on ROM, 3DS and Switch now. I got the AA Trilogy with my Switch around October 2020, my last save for the first game is November 2020, and then I basically dropped it until COVID when I played a chunk more at mum's, then dropped it until now. I enjoyed it for the most part - I probably wouldn't have ever gone back and finished it if it wasn't for the backlog sheet. I think part of the issue is that the 'gameplay' is pretty simple and repetitive, and because it's technically 3 games in one, there's no real growth in mechanics or depth from game to game and so it can get a bit frustrating being reintroduced to things you've already done. It's also annoying when you spot a contradiction ahead of time, but the game isn't ready for you to see it yet (I'm thinking of the receipt in the Mia murder one), or when you don't pick the /right/ contradiction. I'm glad I resorted to a walkthrough when I needed to, though it is incredibly satisfying when you manage to spot one yourself. I'm actually looking forward to the other trilogy combos, Great Attorney and Apollo Justice - hopefully they expand a little on the basis from Phoenix Wright. I enjoy the characters and the wild plots in the game - there's a surprising level of depth to the characters considering it's a mostly jokey visual novel series. I enjoyed the way that the Trials and Tribulations cases (mostly) linked together, especially with the two shorter Mia ones squeezed in to give context and background to the finale. I think I've talked myself into giving it a higher rating tbh.
I mean, I played each on a totally legit console (emulator) so having an HD remaster on a real console is far better.
Great game !
Great game !
Over the top bonkers, but a really fun time.
This is the best trilogy of all lawyer games ever made
Aside from being a little talky in parts and having a few cases that are little thin, this is three great games and it's worth playing all of them.
A fun puzzle game with a fun story.
I'd heard the hype but put off playing this for a while. Life just got in the way. And then I finally played it and... I understood. I understood everything.
You guys should watch the anime, its banger after banger
Unironically and genuinely one of the greatest translations and localizations ever brought to the west. Sparked a burning love for translation within me that has yet to even produce a gram of cinder...such a dumb series, I love it.
Ace Attorney is a lot of things.
It's a really experimental title, who takes a bizzarre premise and turns into one of Capcom's most recognizable franchises.
It's a collection of trials that are also murder misteries, all unnecessarily intricates that lead to some of the most unexpected twists in the history of mistery games.
It's a comedy, full of wacky character that keeps on jumping and screaming on top of each other while also making valid points in a case.
It's a tragedy, which talks about families and friends that add to go throught though life decisions for either their personal gain, or the life of others.
It's also the realization of a dream from the former creator, director Shu Takumi, who used its literal life as an inspiration for some of these character.
But Ace Attorney is also another thing: it's a classic. An entertaining and amusing classic in the Videogame industry that stands the test of time despite the technological advancements of the modern times. A title that even people that don't play videogames will be able to enjoy to the fullest.

Best pointer finger in gaming

Ocupa um lugar no meu coração, um dos meus jogos baseados em texto favoritos com mecânicas muito legais, história marcante e vários casos muito bem pensados
Even people who aren't gamers need to play these games. One of the best stories ever written and it has stuck rent free in my head for nearly 10 years now. Just an incredible work of art overall.
I forgot i had this account. Anyways, I played this trilogy mostly because it was on sale for 9 bucks but also because of how easily I got hooked by it after just one ‘tutorial’ case. It was easy, it was maybe too simple, but it was something that hooked me to keep playing through with it. And after finishing it I can finally say that, yes my dear tumblr user from 2017, you were correct, this is a good series of games. I need to replay this so badly
"Almost Christmas" means it wasn't Christmas!
nice game but drags in a few parts
Eu joguei toda a trilogia, eu achei muito foda os casos do 1 e do 3 , qnd eu joguei eu percebi q esse é o tipo de jogo w eu gosto, resolver os caso desse jogo é tipo mt foda, eu to devendo jogar o apollo so q eu to com preguiça, mas a trilogia é realmente mt boa
