Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Japanese: Gyakuten Saiban) is Capcom’s courtroom visual‑novel adventure released for Game Boy Advance on October 12, 2001, the original entry founding the Ace Attorney franchise. Gameplay is split into investigation and courtroom cross‑examination segments. Players collect evidence and interview witnesses at crime scenes, then expose contradictions in courtroom testimonies to prove clients’ innocence. The original GBA release features four episodes; the bonus case Rise from the Ashes was added in later ports. It follows rookie defense attorney Phoenix Wright, aided by Maya Fey, clashing with prosecutor Miles Edgeworth and unraveling the famous DL‑6 incident. Originally released only in Japan, it received high‑quality fan‑made Chinese translation and is playable via GBA emulators. Praised for creative cases, memorable characters and iconic soundtrack, it stands as one of the greatest visual‑novel titles on GBA.
