The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - Nintendo Switch

This game is one of my favorite games of all time. The soundtrack, the story, the characters; everything is just top notch with this game and it deserved to get localized for us folks in the West to enjoy!

Thanks

Great game.

While not without some minor issues, this game is a great addition to the ace attorney series.If you've played an ace attorney game before, the first case will be extremely slow, but after that the game comes into its own. The deduction sections are hilarious, and the game stays true to the typical onslaught of nonsensical ace attorney personalities while still proving to be very engaging. I have played every game in the series up until this point, and I was still occasionally guessing whether any individual ace attorney trope was going to be followed or subverted. I loved the decision they made, every time.The unique setting (Japanese students living in the British Empire) allowed this "reboot" to go in directions that were very engaging. Sometimes other characters are outright hostile to the protagonists, or worse, assume that they are less educated or less knowledgable while trying to be helpful. This had a tiny bit more depth to me than, say, Edgeworth calling Wright a clown. Moreover it allowed the story to take directions not directly seen in (while still similar to) other games in the series.Gameplay-wise, the investigation sections are well organized so as to not be cumbersome. The deduction sequences are amazing. There is an option to automatically advance text with a button press (for the love of God, turn this on if you are an average-speed reader, as the text is so unbearably slow to scroll otherwise) and you can look back on the history of what's already been said, too. The infamous examples of "Ace Attorney Logic", where one has already figured things out but the right inputs are not really present, are for the most part minimized. Evidence is usually neatly organized and you don't have too much of it at any time, at least in the first few cases. The game has enough built-in tutorial to get new players up to speed, and for those who want to just see the story play out, you can even turn on an autoplay feature. The music is simply wonderful, as is typical of the series.All in all, this was an excellent reboot / side story. You also simply cannot beat the price point - the content of two full 3DS games for only $40? It was one of the few times I've thought a game I purchased was fairly priced.

I'm a long time fan of the Phoenix Wright series. The last one I played was the Phoenix Wright-Professor Layton mashup which I thoroughly enjoyed. I wanted to love the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles too since it is set during an interesting time in Japanese history when Japan was opening up to Western influences after hundreds of years of shutting out foreign influence.I am finding the game a bit slow and plodding, without the comedic elements of its predecessors in the series. While Ryunosuke Naruhodo is a likeable and earnest young lawyer in training, I was a bit disappointed that the opening two cases were both ones that featured him wrongly accused of murder. It seems like the scenario writers were grasping at straws and recycling the same stale plot motifs.So far I've only played up through Episode 3. I keep finding excuses to put it aside and play something else instead. I'll probably finish it eventually because it's not totally bad but it's not that great either. If you are not familiar with the Phoenix Wright games, this may not be your kind of game.

Pure nostalgia. It has been years since I last played an Ace Attorney game and just hearing that typewriter brought pure happiness. This game really heralds you back to the first game, by keeping the gameplay simple. There are no locks to break. There are no mental break downs. This is your basic investigation that follows up with a trial. I will admit the investigation side of things is slightly lacking, which makes sense since the game takes place in Industrial England. I mean, there is not a lot of evidence to find. It appeared to lean more heavily on the testimony. So this is really a plot heavy game. Even to the point that there is an option where you can treat it as a pure visual novel. The game story is broken into 2 parts that are intricately woven. In each part, there are 5 cases that need to be solved. I find them interesting and easy to solve. I had no problem really figuring out the twist to each case. And everything was resolved beautifully at the end.The animation and graphics are great and the soundtrack is brilliant and so memorable. The characters are different and unique. The extras are really good. The game has a trophy system. There is an art gallery, music and additional story sections. There is a little voice acting but a good grasp of reading is important.This was definitely worth getting if you are a fan of the Ace Attorney series. Even if you are new to the series, this is so worth playing. Since this is a prequel, you don’t need to know the other games. If you are not a fan of visual novels, this might not be for you. After 65+ hours of gameplay, I can confidently say I LOVE IT! I can’t wait for a sequel.

Again prompt delivery , intact package, and the game is awesome. Recommended to everyone.
