Shu Takumi presents a new Ace Attorney game for the world

"Ace Attorney Grand Turnabout Trial: The Adventures of Naruhodou Ryuunosuke". What a...ehrm, nice name.

Series creator Shu Takumi is at work on a brand-new Ace Attorney game that takes the series more than a century into the past. According to the leaked pages, the game will be set in Japan's Meiji era (Sept. 1868 through July 1912) and star an ancestor of the series' famous lawyer, Phoenix Wright. 

His name is Naruhodou Ryuunosuke. In the picture, he is seen carrying a sword and the article describes him as having a keen sense of justice, and quick to put himself in danger. Hopefully we’ll get to see him draw his katana, and point it when he shouts objection!


"Dai Gyakuten Saiban — Naruhodou Ryuunosuke no Bouken". That´s the Japanese name of the new Ace Attorney game.

The new game's full title is Dai Gyakuten Saiban — Naruhodou Ryuunosuke no Bouken, which translates to Grand Turnabout Trial — The Adventures of Naruhodou Ryuunosuke.

Takumi has worked on every game in the Ace Attorney series since the original Nintendo DS title, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, in 2001.

Takumi did not work on the most recent release of Ace Attorney Dual Destinies, because at that time, he was focused on the crossover title of Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, which still has yet to receive a release date.

It comes as a bit of a surprise that the Ace Attorney series is traveling backwards in time yet again. The last time we saw this happen, were in past renditions of the games- Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations, and Apollo Justice Ace Attorney.

Shifting the series backwards a bit, is a great idea. Since many of us would love to see if Mia Fey had ancestors, who interacted with Phoenix Wright’s. I can’t wait to see what happens with this title, being a huge fan of the series, so stay with us as more develops.
