Gyakuten Saiban

Gyakuten Saiban — known internationally as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney — is a visual novel developed by Capcom and released on the Game Boy Advance in 2001. Players step into the shoes of Phoenix Wright, a rookie defense attorney navigating a deeply flawed justice system where defendants face an uphill battle from the start. Gameplay unfolds across two phases: investigation, where players visit crime scenes, gather evidence, and interview witnesses; and courtroom battles, where logic and timely presentation of evidence dismantle witness testimonies. Five interconnected cases build toward the exposure of a sweeping conspiracy. Sharp, witty dialogue and a cast of unforgettable characters have made this title a landmark of the logic-puzzle adventure genre.
