Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a rerelease of slightly touched up Nintendo DS games for modern hardware. It retains all the limitations of past hardware, missing sounds, voiced dialogs and offering not much more than a bit of context to a few common memes.

Overall, Ace Attorney Trilogy wholeheartedly proves its worth as a remaster. The story still stands up today and balances goofiness and sincerity in a fun and enchanting way. The gameplay is slow but wins over its audience. The graphics are heavily improved from its myriad predecessors, and the music is brought to life in just the right way. Sure, there are some slight slip-ups here and there, but this game is a gem that's worth playing from the pantheon of games, especially those in the visual novel genre. At this time, the defense rests.

These three games are all enjoyable and memorable experiences, with their bright cast of characters and delightful humor coupled with engaging and satisfying gameplay. These games are perfect for the player that enjoys character-driven stories in games or games that focus on problem-solving and critical thinking rather than skill.

A must buy. Case closed. There are so many reasons to pick this up. For those who haven't tried the series out, this debut on other consoles add up to a wonderful incentive. It's amazing that even 20 years on, these still hold up. The only thing that lets this collection down is that there is little extra to elevate this remaster, other than just a graphical overhaul. Regardless of this small bump, these remain some of the very best Visual Novels out there and with no end in sight for the series, this glimpse of them arriving on new platforms is very promising.

Hold it! The original Ace Attorney hits the big(ger) screen as the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy arrives on consoles and PC. The writing continues to hold up well even after all these years and the ability to play the original games on the TV is a treat. It would have been nice if more new features were added aside from the upgraded visuals. For those new to the series or Ace Attorney veterans who haven't played the games in years, however, I have no objections in recommending this particular trilogy.

Of course, for those who have experienced the trilogy on it’s original platform, you aren’t necessarily getting anything new here, however, if you are a hardcore fan of the series, you’re definitely getting a well deserved upgrade. The ability to play all three titles on your TV, or even with upgraded graphics on the Nintendo Switch, makes this the perfect replacement.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a package that offers three games with engaging stories, unbelievable twists and extremely charismatic characters. These three games are completely mandatory. However, while the graphics have been very well remastered, the sounds are outdated. The lack of support for Brazilian Portuguese is also sad. Also, the price is a bit high for the collection.
