Amazing price for an amazing game. Any AA fan should not skip on one of, if not, the best game in the series.

It's discounted on iOS as well ($9.99 for the main story cases), as are some of Capcom's other games. Some sort of Thanksgiving sale I believe.

Got it awhile back. Played it and finished it. It was alright. The final case was absolute ass though in my opinion. I hated the twist.

Surely this is cheap enough for even the most vocal "no retail no buy"
person to bite. Great game, needs more sales.

Yeah but no Multi 5 in Europe keep me from buying it.

Worth jumping in if you've only played the first Ace Attorney?
Yep, this too. Anyone who gets this game absolutely must play the DLC case, especially if they've played the first AA trilogy.
Sure. You'll miss out on a lot of references, but there aren't any major story beats you'll be missing.
You should still play the other games in the series, though; they're all great.
No account fix, no digital buy. I love AA, but nope. I have plenty of games to keep me busy from my sadness of missing this game.

Very story heavy series, you'll miss tons of references and stuff if you haven't played the other main AA games (particularly Apollo Justice). But you could get it cheap now and sit on it until the trilogy next month...Mwa ha ha
Fix? There's nothing wrong with it. I've been all digital since NSMB2 and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Besides it's $15. On the off chance that you lose your system and Nintendo refuses to transfer your licenses to a replacement (they won't), you can eat fifteen bucks.
But whatever, think I'll play through it again this weekend myself.

I loved Dual Destinies, the only case that sucks is the 2nd one.
And the DLC case is sooo good.

I have every Ace Attorney games available here in NA ! People please buy this so maybe Capcom will give us Edgeworth 2 game
Capcom had their chance to bring that over and they didn't. The fans did a great job translating it though, so I'd recommend playing the fan translation if you haven't already

That ship has sailed boo, if anything we should be worried about Feudal Ace Attorney <_<;
Although I think it will be Ace Attorney: London Beginnings or something lol ;c

About time it matches the iOS version in price, now I'll actually get it.
The second case kinda sucks, but I love it cus it feels like it could've come from Apollo Justice 2. Actually, the whole game does an excellent job of balancing its lead characters and that's one of it's key strengths IMO.
But yeah, everyone should get this. It's not the best Ace Attorney but even the worst Ace Attorney is better than most other things in the genre and this is a damn fine game.

I think the iOS version is way better, and has been this price for some time now.
But iOS isn't a real gaming platform despite what Japan seems to be doing with it. Don't kill me, haha.
And now it's $10. I'll get it from there if this is the consensus.

Is the DLC case discounted as well? I remember the last time they had a similar sale, only the main game was discounted.
Sadly nope. Still $5 and the costume DLC still priced at $0.99.

F... thanks for the info man.
Trainwreck of a game. Kills the momentum coming out of AJ (which was not an azong game but damn if apollo didnt deserve better than this) in an attempt to please people who couldnt handle Phoenix not being the Protaginst. It tries to give everyone something but with the majority of cases being bad, fan service thrown in that feels out of place and awkward and a fairly bad overall plot this game KILLED any excitment i had for a new mainline AA game

I thought it was easily the worst game in the series, but if you're gonna check it out, now's the time I guess.

Yeah, I'm a bit baffled they wouldn't pricematch both versions. It's not like the 3DS one is obviously better.
With the way the translation goes in this series, it'll probably be like Ace Attorney: Wild West lol

Seriously, eShop version so we can keep getting this series, please?But iOS isn't a real gaming platform despite what Japan seems to be doing with it. Don't kill me, haha.
Well, I won't tell you how to feel but that's a pretty shallow opinion to have. There are a lot of quality titles that don't rely on free-to-play gimmicks and microtransactions.
If you enjoy the series strictly for looking at item descriptions, finding contradictions, figuring out inconsistencies, knowing what to present at the right time, etc., then you should probably skip this one. It's pretty streamlined as far as that stuff goes.
If, however, you also at least somewhat enjoy the series because of the revelation of the mysteries behind the cases, because of the fun characters and dialogue, and so on, then you should probably pick it up, because it's still pretty dang good in that regard.

Having bought and played the previous four Ace Attorney games, I'm on the fence about getting this game especially after reading the plot spoilers. It sounds like the game is disappointing after coming from Apollo Justice which to its own merit had damn good intriguing plot and left some potential of a new story arc with the said titular character.
Also, the more linear investigation phase is worrisome. That said, for what it's worth, I enjoyed the visual 3D makeover of the characters as they're way more expressive and alive from what I played of it. If anything, I'm much more intrigued by the Great Ace Attorney series as it'll hopefully return to its roots.

Loved this game, only case that sucks is the second one, but other than that is a lot of fun, the characters are likable and the story is decent enough.
Just don't expect another Trials and Tribulations and you'll be fine.
Also buy the DLC and play it just after case 3, its the best case in the game.
