Well no “Objection!” here for Capcom taking a risk.
I don’t want to came off as simping for Capcom because they’re are a corporation and thus are only profit-driven. But I do want to give credit where credit is due. Greenlighting a sequel despite the first attempt being a flop is not something that many publishers would do. This wouldn’t be the last of Capcom’s unorthodox decisions. When the industry was laying off workers left and right, Capcom actually increased their employees pay. If that increase was actually a substantial increase or not I don’t know but other companies won’t even consider increasing employee pay by a cent.
Also the First Ace Attorney fucking slaps and has the best sound track by far. Their “Flop” was an incredible game.
If anyone is done with the official series and wants some more, some indie games that nicely follow its success:
Gyakuten Live, a fan game based on Love Live School Idol - three cases in, generally based around lower-stakes crimes but with surprising escalation
Occult Crime Police, a series based on small town paranormality
Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane, takes place in a world of magic where rules of spells are often a form of evidence.
While the final case is probably not as good as other final cases in the series, it probably has one of the best filler chapters with the Steel Samurai
Is there a way to play these games on PC or at least on the Switch or something? I know obviously I could pirate them but I was wondering if a proper port had ever been made.
I own the ace attorney and investigation trilogy on steam and they’re faithful, working great adaptations.
Plus the ace attorney trilogy is on deep sale right now.
I cannot speak about the quality of the port (I played it on the DS), but Capcom ports Ace Attorney to every system they can.

love ace attorney, glad it’s still around today
I love the first game lol. Glad the series made it though. Too many titles for me to continue with it, but I do be coming back to the first game every so often!
