"This rerelease of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney is an interesting one because it doesn't really do anything that we didn't see when it originally came out 10 years ago, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Rather than of a rebuilt game with shiny bells and whistles that clutter up the core experience, we're instead treaded to a faithful rendition with updated visuals for a modern console generation. It's the easiest way to experience the game if you haven't before, and it's a great way to pay it another visit if you have. As its lifecycle crawls to a close, the Nintendo 3DS has become somewhat of an archive, collecting franchise favorites and housing them all in one place. With the rest of the mainline Ace Attorney series already available on the 3DS eShop, it was just a matter of time before Apollo Justice had his day in court."

About

Simon Scoop: Ace Attorney casts you as a green defense attorney and journalist tasked with clearing his friend’s name after their boss is killed. The case hinges on picking apart shaky witness testimony, sifting through evidence, and making key dialogue choices during tense courtroom confrontations. You’ll grill a suspicious janitor and untangle a web of office politics while balancing your dual roles as both legal defender and investigative reporter. The story unfolds through illustrated scenes and branching dialogue, with outcomes shaped by how well you connect clues and challenge alibis. Players praise the brisk, no-frills mystery with a 4.5 out of 5 rating on a dedicated fan site, noting sharp character quirks and a twist that avoids clichés. It runs in your browser and wraps up in under three hours, making it a quick but satisfying pick for fans of logic-driven narratives. Released in 2015, it holds up for anyone looking to cut through red herrings without a drawn-out story.
