The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - Nintendo Switch

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.

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!

Had to get

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.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles will not disappoint you. This collection contains both Adventures and Resolve, Nintendo 3DS games that were never released outside of Japan. But their time to shine has arrived thanks to this remastered collection. In terms of gameplay, it's mostly the same as always. Gather information on investigation scenes, and search the lies on the witnesses testimony to find the culprit in court. But this game adds two new mechanics, the Dance of Deduction and the Summation of Exclamations (they are very intuitive, and explained perfectly by the game itself). I think these sections really add to the experience, and they're fun to play too! So, Great Ace Attorney Adventures and Resolve are the best games in the series (to me, of course) and, what's important, they're fun! On top of that, the game includes a ton of special content I really appreciated. If you're an Ace Attorney fan and you haven't played these games yet, don't miss this opportunity, and get this game. You won't regret it!!

After playing the first 3 Ace attorney trilogy games on the switch I was a little disheartened by the stories and lack of things to do in the games. When purusing all the reviews on this game and noticing how much there is to do a long with most people really enjoying the stories, I decided to give this one a try. This game will not disappoint you! The stories are well thought out and will leave you guessing. You can play "detective" and explore rooms, finding clues, and you will help Herlock Sholmes along the way with his not so logical reasonings. The graphics are lovely and the ability to enter and look around certain clues is a clever way to make you feel apart of the investigation! Overall a truly wonderful game full of mysteries and intrigue!

I don't play on Switch as this was bought as a gift. But apparently, despite the pictures, it is in English.

I am from belgium and the game arriver a week later! Super fast and the game wasn't damaged. Haven't played it yet but i'm sure it'll be amazing!

اذا تحب تقرا كثير وتتابع الفصة فهالسلسلة تناسبك، فيه شخصيات رهيبة مثل هارلك شولمز هههه

Está en inglés, pero es un buen juego muy contento con la compra, edición física con cartucho

Un jeu tout bonnement excelle, digne de ace attorney. Les personnages sont vraiment attachants et les histoires sont très bien écrites. Le fait de jouer en anglais peut être un peu en blocage, c’est pour cela que je recommande un niveau B2+ en anglais pour ne pas avoir trop soucis,
