Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy,[e] published as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy HD on mobile devices,[f] is a compilation video game containing remasters of the first 3 games in the Ace Attorney series, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Justice for All, and Trials and Tribulations.

Development[]

A high-definition version of the first three Ace Attorney games, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy HD,[f] was released for iOS and Android in Japan on February 7, 2012, and for iOS in the West on May 30, 2013.[2][3][4] Another collection of the first three games, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy,[e] was released for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan on April 17, 2014,[5][6][7][8][9] in North America on December 9, 2014, and in Europe on December 11, 2014.[10] It was also released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on February 21, 2019 in Japan, and on April 9, 2019 internationally; a Windows version was released internationally on the same date.[11][12]

The Ace Attorney Trilogy home console releases were first announced in an interview with news website Jiji in 2017, Capcom's COO, Haruhiro Tsujimoto, said that the Ace Attorney series was going to receive support on the Nintendo Switch, with a mainline entry, and two compilations, one of the original trilogy and one including games 4 through 6 in the series.[13]

The game was later revealed at the Ace Attorney panel at Tokyo Games Show 2018.[14] The trailer used in the convention was later uploaded in English on September 22, 2018,[15] and a pre-order was made available for the game on Nintendo Switch in January 2017 exclusively in Japan,[16] and a Steam pre-order was later made available on February 28, 2019.[17]

Prior to its English release, a listing for the game was put up on the Australian Nintendo Switch eShop, which's content made people believe the game was going to be releasing in English-speaking territories on April 9, 2019,[18] which ended up being 5 days off.

On August 24, 2019, the option to play the game in French, German, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese was added.[19] The update also added additional save files.[20]

The French-language version of the game accidentally forgot to remove a mention of the WiiWare controls that were in the Wii port of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations.[21]

Downloadable content[]

The mobile versions of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy feature the first two cases, The First Turnabout and Turnabout Sisters, free, however, the user needs to purchase the rest of the cases.[22]

For the PlayStation 4 release of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, two sets of user profile pictures were purchasable for $1.99, one named the Phoenix Set[23] and one named the Edgeworth Set.[24]
