THIS IS NOT A REVIEW OF THE GAMES IN THE COLLECTION! This is merely a review of the package. I have far more in-depth reviews written on each game in said package.
The Ace Attorney Trilogy is a beloved set of games with wacky turns and awesome attorneying fun. However when it comes to the quality of the package, I don't think much effort was put in to really make it a consumer "must-have". The HD visuals are indeed splendid, but for someone who may have played on the 3DS or even the original DS titles, it doesn't make too much of a difference. A good game is forever good, regardless of technical prowess. And unfortunately that's much of my issue with this collection, it is great for newcomers who just want to hop in, but for series vets the collection has very little to offer in terms of collectability or premium appeal. It is simply a package that holds three games with no extra fluff for the fans. No music player of any kind which is baffling considering how well loved the soundtracks for these titles are. No art gallery to look at concept art, case artwork, or even in-game CGs. The package itself isn't exactly crudely made or anything, but without any sort of special care, it feels extremely hard to care.
