About

Get ready to cross-examine your opponents and reason your way to justice in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, releasing for the first time in North America and Europe on July 27, 2021. The collection tells the story of an ancestor of Phoenix Wright, the protagonist of the iconic Ace Attorney courtroom adventure series. In The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, players take on the role of a defense attorney to track down evidence, argue in court and ensure a just ruling. Featuring newly recorded English voices, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles includes The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures and The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve, both previously only available in Japan.

Set in the late 19th century during Japan’s Meiji Period and London’s Victorian era, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles follows Ryunosuke Naruhodo as he works to sleuth out the truth in witnesses’ testimonies and clear his clients’ names in court. Players will unravel the mysteries behind 10 thrilling cases and eight mini escapades filled with a zany cast of over-the-top characters—including local ace detective Herlock Sholmes.

Cool, I'll get it on a sale.

In one hand, this makes the translation patch effort pointless. On the other hand, all DLCs and the 2nd game are fully translated! As well as the OG voice-acting rather than the English one!
Hopefully it is compatible with W7. And it doesn't take 200 GB of space or so.
Still, I'm surprised to see this happen, as these two games completely overshadow the newest Phoenix Wright games due their superior quality and writing, with barely annoying mechanics or animuh drama, unlike the PW games for the 3DS.
Worse, I thought there would be a trilogy of the Great Attorney series, instead of "only" two games.
Then again the OG writer of the series looks quite old already, so it will be difficult to get more games from him.

Enjoying the game so far, the 3ds models really upscaled well and everything looks great.

Sherlock is a faggot
Main girl is retarded

This game is just too slow and too much hand-holding. Some things which are instantly obvious takes 30 minutes to solve and are pointed out every time so retarded player cannot possible miss anything.

the first case of the first game is really slow and has a lot of padding like the bit w/ the steaks, 2nd case is dog shit.. 3rd one is good so far.

overall I've heard the first game is rather slow to build up and ends on cliffhangers, the second game is the real shit and the games are set up like one long ten-case story and every case is connected from what I've heard.
