Hold it!

Random This Ace Attorney Musical Mashup Casts Edgeworth And Phoenix As Backstreet Boys
Backstreet's back, ALL RISE!
We can't decide if this Backstreet Boys-meets-Ace Attorney combination is brilliant, or horrifying. We think it's both, but we also admire the musical skill it takes to think, "you know what would go well together? Boybands and an old DS game about the legal system." It's like the first person to find out that chocolate...

Random Valve Artist Reimagines Ace Attorney Characters As '80s Lawyers
Nobody puts Apollo in a corner
Anyone who has eyes and a heart and a copy of at least one of the Ace Attorney games will agree that it is a game series full of stone-cold hotties. (Can you be both stone-cold and a hottie?) From the aloof, dadly suavity of the maroon-suited Edgeworth to the distressing ghost-cleavage of Mia Fey inhabiting other...

News A Concert Will Be In Session For Ace Attorney's 20th Anniversary

Random This Ace Attorney "Class Trial" Cosplay Is Spot On
No objections here
Ace Attorney fans will hopefully remember the heartwarming story of how prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, defense attorney Phoenix Wright, and loveable idiot Larry Butz all became friends.

Random Japanese Café Introduces Limited-Time Only Ace Attorney-Themed Menu
Object-YUM
When it comes to Ace Attorney and food, what comes first to most people's minds is the series' slightly strange localisation of common Japanese foodstuffs into American dishes, like Maya's love for ramen being translated as "burgers". But we're not here to split hairs noodles about whether or not a burger is a type of sushi — we're here...

Random The Cast Of Ace Attorney, As Pens
Phoenibs Write
Most people perhaps remember fountain pens as "those inky things that I was forced to write with at school", or perhaps "that pen that's always secretly a gun or a car in a James Bond movie", and although you would be right on both counts, fountain pens are also beautiful artefacts that some of us here at Nintendo Life (read: me)...

You may not have heard of Paradise Killer, the cult-favourite that secured a few GOTY nominations last year thanks to its excellent writing and bizarro cast of characters, but that's ok - it's best if you go into it completely blind, anyway.
