Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (逆転裁判 蘇る逆転 Gyakuten Saiban: Yomigaeru Gyakuten?, Turnabout Courtroom: Turnabout Revival) is a visual novel-type adventure video game developed by Capcom for the Nintendo DS in 2005.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a remake of the Game Boy Advance video game Gyakuten Saiban (originally released October 11, 2001), which was never released outside of Japan. The Nintendo DS version adds touch screen and microphone support and a new fifth episode called Rise from the Ashes. Rise from the Ashes is much longer than the game's other four episodes and uses the Nintendo DS' touch screen, microphone and 3D rendering hardware more extensively than the other episodes; being as it was designed specifically for the Nintendo DS.
The sequel to Gyakuten Saiban titled Gyakuten Saiban 2 for the Game Boy Advance (also only in Japan) is set to be localised for the Nintendo DS under the title Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All. The Japanese version was released in Japan on October 26, 2006 and the fully localised version is due to be released in North America and Europe in the first quarter of 2007.

[edit] Gameplay
In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, the player takes on the role of Phoenix Wright, who must do various tasks, some being standard operation for a defense attorney and some having nothing to do with the profession.
[edit] Controls
There are two ways to control the game. The first was taken from the original Gyakuten Saiban and uses a more standard control scheme to control the flow of the game. The new controls take advantage of the Nintendo DS's touch screen. Using the touch screen, players can advance dialogue by pushing a prominent "Play" button located in the middle of the screen, enter the game's inventory system with a "Court Record" button, interrogate witnesses with a "Press" button and present evidence that shows a contradiction to testimony with a "Present" button. In addition to these two control schemes, optionally, the player can speak into the microphone three different phrases - "Objection", "Hold It" and "Take That" at certain points in order to invoke the "Present" and "Press" functions. The new episode introduced in Phoenix Wright (Episode 5) takes advantage of the DS's features at several points, such as spraying luminol with the touch screen to locate blood stains at crime scenes, dust for fingerprints, or examining a 3-dimensional view of various items of evidence in order to find new clues.
The game has a total of 5 trials. In the game's setting, the justice system has moved to a process in that after a suspect is arrested for a crime, a trial lasting no more than 3 days is held to attempt to prove that person's innocence. A failure to find the suspect "not guilty" will cause the suspect to be tried in a higher, much tougher court, and thus it is in the player's best interest (as Phoenix) to find his client not guilty within those 3 days, or the game will be over.
Except for the first case, the game cycles between two phases: Investigation, and Courtroom Sessions. At most, there will be 3 Investigation periods and 3 Courtroom Sessions for each trial, though the courtroom session may be divided into two or three parts during the last trial.
[edit] Investigation
During the investigation phase (generally taking place in the afternoon), the player can move between several areas related to the crime, talk with people present in those areas or present them with court record information to try to get more information out of them, or investigate the areas for evidence and other clues. These sections are mostly linear - once a key piece of information is heard or obtained, a new line of dialog may be opened, or a new area can be investigated, or a new character can be questioned, with usually a key sequence of steps that have to be done before the investigation phase is completed. However, as with many point and click adventure games, the player will likely go back and forth between characters and locations, repeating the previous conversations in order to be clued as to what the next step in the investigation must be. By the end of the investigation phase, the player will have sufficient evidence in the Court Record to use for the trial the following day.
The first case does not have an investigation phase; the player already starts with several items in the Court Record as the Courtroom Session begins.
[edit] Courtroom Sessions
During the Courtroom Session (always starting in the morning), the player generally must listen to the prosecution's witnesses' testimony, and then perform a cross-examination of the witness. During cross examination, the player can "press" the witness for each line in the testimony, which may reveal a flaw in the witness's testimony or additional information that was not revealed before; in the latter case, the testimony may be updated to reflect this new information. Also during cross-examination, the player can attempt to produce evidence from the Court Record that contradicts the current statement in the witness's testimony. When the contradiction is correctly pointed out, this may lead to a new line of testimony from the witness or a new witness being brought to the stand, in which case the same process continues, or closure of the case for either further investigation or for finding the suspect not guilty. However, if the wrong evidence is used, or evidence is presented at the wrong time, the player will be punished with a strike against them. If the player accumulates 5 such strikes during a Courtroom Session, the case is automatically closed, and the suspect found Guilty and thus ending the game, though the player can restart from the start of that present Courtroom Session. There are also times during Courtroom Sessions that the player can selection an option (such as deciding whether to press a witness further on a statement or to let it slide), or will be required to produce evidence supporting a claim. In some of these cases, selecting the wrong option will also punish the player with a strike.
There is generally only one right "path" through the Courtroom Sessions, in that for every cross examination, there is only one correct piece of evidence that has to be used at the correct time to contradict the witness and to progress the game forward.
The player at any time can investigate the items and the persons listed in the Court Record during both the Investigation and the Courtroom Session phases.
[edit] Characters
Phoenix Wright - Naruhodoh Ryuichi (成歩堂 龍一) Age 24
The protagonist, who is known for his spiky hairdo. He has only been an attorney for three months when he went into his first trial (episode 1). He is a very bright attorney but very inexperienced, causing him to often win a trial by the skin of his teeth. His nickname is "Nick", which is used by his friends, and also was called "porcupine head" once by his opponents. Phoenix is generally cynical, yet clumsy. His Japanese name is a pun on the Japanese for "I see", naruhodo成程.
Mia Fey - Ayasato Chihiro (綾里 千尋) Age 27
A highly competent lawyer and Phoenix's boss and mentor. Her first meeting with him was in her second case. He was impressed with her constant belief in his innocence, and vowed to work hard to become a defense attorney for her sake. She tragically meets her end in the second case of the game. Even after death, however, she continues to provide assistance to Phoenix, by channeling her spirit through her little sister, Maya. Her mother, Misty Fey, was double-crossed by Redd White in a case many years ago, and Mia became an attorney with the sole intention of one day putting White behind bars. She is extremely professional and calculating, but friendly and warm towards Phoenix. She often saves Phoenix at the eleventh hour, though on rare occasions even she gets stumped.
Maya Fey - Ayasato Mayoi (綾里 真宵) Age 17
Mia's little sister, Wright's assistant and a medium-in-training. She can channel her big sister's spirit into her body for a limited amount of time, via a method similar to possession, but can only do so in desperate situations. Otherwises, she is like any teenage girl and is fan of Tokusatsu shows and films, particularly the Steel Samurai and Pink Princess. Maya is usually kind and sweet, though she has a tendency to overreact and has a strong love of food, often saying she has a "second stomach" for foods she likes. She seems to treat Phoenix in the same way as she did with her older sister.
Detective Dick Gumshoe - Itonokogiri Keisuke (糸鋸圭介 ) Age 30
Dick Gumshoe is a police detective from the homicide division. Hot-headed and overzealous at times, he is often known to make wrongful arrests. He holds a deep respect for Miles Edgeworth, almost to the point of hero worship. Gumshoe also has a habit of interrupting conversations at inappropriate moments. He tends to be gullible, brash and definitely isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he means well.
Winston Payne - Auchi Takefumi (亜内武文) Age 52
The prosecuting attorney Phoenix Wright encounters during his first murder case (Case 1). Known as the "Rookie Killer" in his profession, he is in fact very unconfident of himself and often extremely frail as an attorney. He is known for his rather screechy voice and his tendency to flick his forehead whilst thinking. Phoenix easily defeats Payne and solidifies his ability as a defense attorney. Payne also appears as the introductory prosecutor for the subsequent two games and will again reprise that same role in the fourth game.
Miles Edgeworth - Mitsurugi Reiji (御剣 怜侍) Age 24
Wright's rival, he became a prosecutor at the age of twenty and has been called a "genius" by many. Cold and calculating, he will use any means necessary to get a guilty verdict, and has rumors surrounding him regarding the use of forged evidence and tampered testimonies. He, Phoenix, and Larry Butz were once friends in grade school. Edgeworth is the prosecutor in Chapters 2, 3, and 5. He is the defendant in Chapter 4.
Larry Butz - Yahari Masashi (矢張政志) Age 23
Larry has been Phoenix's friend ever since they were in elementary school. A born troublemaker, ("If something smells, it's usually the Butz.") and the defendant in "The First Turnabout", as well as a witness in "Turnabout Goodbyes". Not much is known about him, however, he's generally quite emotional, and somehow manages to date models, even if they don't seem to think much of him.
The Judge - Saibancho Age unknown
Presiding at all 5 cases, the white-bearded judge generally maintains the proceedings and order in the court, but seems to be easily influenced through favors, flirting witnesses, or by those with strong wills, particularly by von Karma in "Turnabout Goodbyes". However, when faced with factual contradictions, he will make sure justice is served. He's initially highly questionable of Phoenix's ability to defend though comes about in later cases. He appears to have been on the bench for a long time, and seems to be good friends with Police Chief Gant (who calls him 'Udgey').
[edit] Setting
The original Japanese version of the game is set in Japan (although many of the characters and themes sport obvious nods to clichés often seen in American and European cinema). The English version has localized many of the catch phrases, puns, and colloquialisms to make it seem as though the game might be set in a North American locale; The designers specifically set it in California, and have implied the city to be Los Angeles.[1]
Since this game is a courtroom drama, one might expect the differences in the Japanese and American legal systems to come into play. This is not entirely the case, however, as the game is discreetly set in the year 2016, allowing Capcom to improvise a little with the setting's legal customs.
There are no significant visual differences between the game's setting and actual present day, but the dialog refers to several major (but fictional) laws that were passed during that chronological gap. For instance, all trials in the game are limited to a duration of 3 days, which provides an additional sense of urgency that runs counter to the drawn-out courtroom proceedings we often see in real life. The concept of manslaughter has also seemed to be abolished. Furthermore, being set in the near future allows for the game to include some major political dealings that affect the trials in various ways, most notably the three-day trial system.
[edit] Storyline
The story focuses on five separate trials. The main character, Phoenix Wright, is a rookie defense attorney who works at a small law office headed by the experienced Mia Fey. The word "Turnabout" in the titles of trials 1-4 refers to the game's Japanese name, which can be translated as "Turnabout Court" or "Comeback Court". The name most likely refers to Phoenix Wright's habit of making sudden comebacks in the face of impossible odds during trials.
[edit] The First Turnabout
(はじめての逆転)
Larry Butz is accused of killing his girlfriend Cindy Stone. His longtime friend, Phoenix Wright, takes the case.
Frank Sahwit (the actual murderer) appears as a witness and claims he saw Butz leaving the apartment and looked inside to find a woman lying dead on the floor. However, his testimony has clear contradictions, including a mistaken time of death and hearing the television despite a power outage, which Phoenix uses to expose his guilt. Butz is proclaimed not guilty and gives Mia Fey another statue similar to the one used to murder his girlfriend in thanks (despite Wright being the one mostly reponsible for clearing his name).
[edit] Turnabout Sisters
(逆転姉妹)
Phoenix’s mentor Mia Fey is killed and her sister, Maya, is implicated as the murderer. The night of the murder, Mia had arranged to meet Maya at the Fey & Co. offices. However, before they meet, Mia is murdered and Maya arrives to find her body. A woman named April May in the hotel opposite the Fey & Co. offices, the Gatewater Hotel (a reference to the Watergate Hotel), screams and calls the police, who arrive to arrest Maya.
The next day, Phoenix sets out to prove Maya's innocence. During the trial, it is revealed that a man may have been present in April May's room at the time of the murder. Phoenix investigates and discovers that the man, Redd White, had built a business around blackmailing prominent and powerful people, and that Mia Fey had been working to expose him.
When confronted, White agrees to testify in an attempt to finger Phoenix as the murderer. Phoenix must defend himself in court against a man who has apparently influenced both the judge and the prosecuting attorney with his "information gathering". Though Phoenix manages to find many contradictions in White's testimony, Edgeworth unexpectedly gets White to incriminate himself on a lesser charge, which seemingly solves the contradictions and leaves Phoenix on the verge of being declared guilty. At the last minute, Mia Fey appears, channeling herself through Maya and aids Phoenix in foiling White's plans. White is found to be the murderer and both Maya and Phoenix are cleared of charges.
After the trial, Phoenix takes over Fey & Co. and renames it Wright & Co., and Maya decides to join as Phoenix's assistant.
[edit] Turnabout Samurai
(逆転のトノサマン)
Will Powers, the star of the popular kids’ television show “The Steel Samurai” is suspected of killing his co-star, Jack Hammer. Maya, an enthusiastic fan of the show, "convinces" Phoenix to defend Powers.
Powers claims that he slept through the whole ordeal, but the security guard Wendy Oldbag says she saw him, dressed in The Steel Samurai costume, limping towards the studio prior to the murder. Further questioning of Oldbag reveals that a few other people were present at the studio the day of the murder: Sal Manella, the creator and director of The Steel Samurai; Dee Vasquez, the producer; and Cody Hackins, a young fan of the show who had snuck unto the studio grounds.
Cody Hackins testifies that he saw The Steel Samurai defeated at the hands of an unknown person at studio two rather than studio one, where the body was found. Phoenix finds out that five years earlier, Jack Hammer had unintentionally killed a man while shooting a film, and Vasquez had been blackmailing him ever since. The pieces slowly fall into place, and during the final phase of the trial Phoenix discovers that Powers had been drugged by Hammer, who stole his costume and went to studio two to kill Dee Vasquez. Vasquez ended up killing Hammer in self defense, after which she moved the body to studio one to prevent her blackmail from being found out by framing Powers for the murder.
However, Phoenix cannot take all the credit for winning the trial. On the final day, Edgeworth objects to his own witness (Vasquez) and forces her to testify when Phoenix has given up. Phoenix is able to solve the case but is left wondering, why would Edgeworth do such a thing?
[edit] Turnabout Goodbyes
(逆転, そしてサヨナラ)
Miles Edgeworth’s past comes back to haunt him when Robert Hammond, the defense attorney involved in his father’s (Gregory Edgeworth) murder case, is himself murdered, and Edgeworth is the only suspect. Initially, Edgeworth is reluctant to take on Phoenix as his defense attorney, but after Phoenix uncovers many clues in the case, Edgeworth accepts his representation. The prosecutor, Manfred von Karma, was Edgeworth's mentor and has a perfect 40-year court record -- except for being penalized once in a trial where Gregory Edgeworth was the defense attorney.
Phoenix discovers that an old man, Yanni Yogi, had shot Hammond and then took on his identity to meet Edgeworth and set him up as the murderer. Yanni Yogi had held a grudge against Hammond because Hammond, as his defense attorney years before, forced Yogi to feign insanity in order to be cleared of charges for the murder of Edgeworth's father. Yogi blames Edgeworth for the murder, and by extension for ruining his life by causing Yogi to be accused. As it turns out, von Karma had killed Gregory Edgeworth and had orchestrated the whole thing in a neurotic attempt to tie up all the loose ends. von Karma's plan falls apart, however, when Phoenix determines that the gun used in Gregory's murder had been fired twice during that incident, with the first shot being an accidental discharge that hit von Karma outside the elevator, and the second shot being the actual killing shot. The morning after Phoenix solves the case, Maya leaves to train further as a spirit medium.
[edit] Rise from the Ashes
(蘇る逆転)
It's been two months since Phoenix's last case and he hasn't taken on any others since Maya left. However, a young girl named Ema Skye comes to him asking for his help. The defendant is her older sister, Chief Prosecutor Lana Skye, who is alleged to be the murderer of Bruce Goodman, a police detective assigned to the infamous SL-9 case two years ago. There is indisputable proof provided by Angel Starr, a former detective turned lunch meal delivery woman, that Lana had stabbed Goodman, who was in the trunk of Miles Edgeworth's car at the prosecution building. However, there are crucial timing elements that are unresolved by Angel's testimony. Lana is very assured about her guilt in the case, which raises Phoenix's suspicions that something else is involved with this case. At the most inopportune time, the chief of police, Damon Gant, drops in on the trial and claims that Bruce Goodman was also murdered in the evidence room of the police station. The first day of court ends with the double murder of the same person at the same time, in the same fashion, at two different locations.
During the second day, Officer Meekins, who was assigned to the evidence room, is charged with Goodman's murder there. Evidence shows Meekins assulting Goodman in the evidence room. However, Phoenix is able to determine from records and video footage that "Goodman" was actually Jake Marshall, an eccentric patrolman also assigned to the evidence room. Jake reveals that he had to infiltrate the evidence room in order to get the SL-9 evidence before a two year anniversary of the case, otherwise the evidence would be locked away forever by standard legal procedures. It is further revealed that Jake's older brother, Neil Marshall, along with Jake, Angel Starr and Bruce Goodman and lead by Lana and Damon, were the main detectives on tracking down the suspect in the SL-9 case. Neil was also the final victim of the case. Meekins is cleared of the murder charge as no double murder took place, though there still seems to be evidence of a murder in the evidence room earlier in the day.
The SL-9 incident, or "The Darke Killings" happened two years prior to the current case. While the investigative team was certain of Joe Darke being a serial killer, they lacked critical evidence to be able to convict him. Thus, they falsified evidence in order to convict Darke. On the last day of the trial when Darke was sentenced, he managed to flee the guards during a blackout; Neil Marshall, Gant, and Lana gave chase through the building. Darke managed to make it to the shared office of Damon Gant and Lana Skye, where Ema Skye was staying during the trial. Before Darke could harm her, Neil make his way into the room and attempted to subdue Darke. Ema, guided only by silhouettes, pushed what she believed was Darke away from Neil before the figure could stab the other, then lost consciousness. Lana, who claims she arrived next, found Neil dead from a stab wound, Darke fallen unconscious from the fight, and Ema out and curled in the corner.
However, Lana refused to go any further into the matter. Unfortunately for her, Phoenix pushes on her to reveal what she actually saw when she entered the room: Neil apparently pushed onto a sword from a suit of armor, likely due to Ema's push, and a blood-written note with Ema's name near his body. This would have made Ema a murderer herself and be brought before the court. Lana claims she quickly rearranged the scene to make Ema appear innocent. However, the story still does not ring true for Phoenix, and continues to push to discover the truth.
The real story of the end of SL-9 is finally revealed; Neil managed to knock Darke out, but Ema's push also caused him to lose conscious but otherwise unharmed. Damon Gant arrived first on the scene, and quickly decided to make things work in his favor. He first took Neil and impaled him on the suit of armor, and then arranged items to make it look like Ema was at fault, including taking evidence that would have pointed to Ema for his own safekeeping. Thus, when Lana arrived and realized what looked like had happened, begged Damon to help her cover up the apparent evidence, which he gladly did - in exchange for her being at his beck and call for the long term. When others arrived, it had looked like Darke had taken one last victim, and the case was easily closed. Shortly thereafter, he had Lana move to become Chief Prosecutor, while he fired Angel Starr, demoted Jake, and let Goodman keep his job, making sure he could keep them all quiet. However, for Angel, Jake, and Goodman, the results of the case never sat well with them.
With the two-year mandate on removing evidence from closed cases quickly approach, Gant realized that he had more tracks to cover to protect himself, despite having taken necessary steps. Earlier on the day of Goodman's murder, Gant accompanied Goodman into the evidence room and killed him via stabbing, taking the bulk of the SL-9 evidence with him. He called Edgeworth over to the police building on a pointless task, which gave him time to dump Goodman's body in the trunk of Edgeworth's car, knowing that he would then drive back to the prosecution building. He then told Lana, still under his thumb, where to find Goodman's body and to 'kill' Goodman in plain sight again as to misdirect any crime scene at the police station. Unfortunately, Jake Marshall's own interference as well as Phoenix's ability to see through the lies defeats Gant's plan once and for all. While Lana's reputation has been harmed and her job at stake, she's thankful to have been able to tell the truth and to know that Ema was not guilty after all.
[edit] Music
The official soundtrack for Phoenix Wright is titled Gyakuten Saiban ~Yomigaeru Gyakuten~ Original Soundtrack, and was first published by Suleputer on November 30, 2005.[2]
Furthermore, soundtracks are available for all three Game Boy Advance games as well. Gyakuten Saiban 1 & 2 Original Soundtrack[3] covers the first two games, and Gyakuten Saiban 3 Original Soundtrack[4] covers the third.
Capcom has also released an album entitled Gyakuten Meets Orchestra with orchestral arrangements of many of the songs used in the game and its two sequels on September 9, 2006. A second CD with additional Phoenix Wright orchestral pieces as well as similar works from other Capcom games including Grandia and Radiata Stories was released for sale at the Tokyo Game Show 2006, and will be sold to the public sometime in November, 2006. The CD's are scheduled for only Japanese release.[5][6]
The video game music remixing group, Magical Trick Society[7], has created a series of remixes of the Phoenix Wright songs, called Cadenza - Gyakuten Saiban 1[8]
[edit] Limited Edition
Available only in Japan to customers who preordered early, a limited edition version of the game was available, packaged in a special black cardboard box with an enlarged logo for the game on the front. The version cost slightly more than the standard release, but compensated by including a bonus sound disc featuring music from the game, a "Gyakuten Saiban" branded phone strap, a keyring in the shape of an exclamation of 'Objection!' (Phoenix's catchphrase) in Japanese, and a stylus with a pointing finger on the end with which to touch the screen. Buyers of the pack also received a full softback manga volume following the adventures of the "Gyakuten Saiban" cast, which was not available through any other channels.[9]
Considered a rarity, especially in the West, the pack can now fetch over double its original value, at $150 or more. Copies rarely turn up on auction websites such as eBay, but are rapidly snapped up when they do.
[edit] Reception and Awards
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney was very hard to find in stores shortly after its North American release because of a shortage due to unexpectedly high demand. Capcom eventually made the decision to ship more units to stores in March 2006.[10] They later issued a new shipment in June 2006, which sold out in a week's time. An August 2006 shipment was announced and, as of this writing, copies from this shipment have sold out as well.[citation needed] Capcom has since sent out one or more shipments.[citation needed]
[edit] Trivia
- Noted translator Alexander O. Smith, also known for his work on Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy 12, is credited with translation of the U.S. version.
- The English version of the game changes the location of the story from Japan to the United States. Because of this, some sprites from the Japanese version had to be changed to represent what the object looks like in the U.S.
- Shock Rocker Marilyn Manson is a fan of this game.
[edit] References
- The Steel Samurai's motto, "For Great Justice", is an unmistakable reference to All Your Base Are Belong To Us.
- In case two, Phoenix Wright remarks "Talk about 'a view to a kill'", a reference to the 1985 James Bond film A View to a Kill.
- In case three, the director Sal Manella uses extensive "1337 5p34k".
- In case five, Ema Skye remarks "I-it's only a flesh wound, Mr. Wright!", a clear reference to a line spoken in the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
