The Great Ace Attorney duology for Nintendo 3DS, directed by Ghost Trick game designer Shu Takumi, reimagines the lighthearted courtroom drama of the visual novel in the context of 19th century. Protagonist Ryunosuke Naruhodo, an ancestor of Phoenix Wright, trains to become a defense attorney in Meiji Period Japan before voyaging to Victorian England.

In The Great Ace Attorney Adventures, the protagonist surreptitiously travels abroad to further his studies, while training under a world-renowned detective, Herlock Sholmes. The sequel, subtitled "The Resolve of Ryunosuke Naruhodo" follows Ryunosuke's investigation into criminal accusations leveled against novelist and literary scholar Natsume Soseki.


Now fully localized for English-language players, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is available for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 consoles. The Windows PC edition is on Steam, verified for use with the Steam Deck.

The Grand Performance soundtrack is also on Steam in two parts, featuring music by Yasumasa Kitagawa, Yoshiya Terayama and Hiromitsu Maeba. The digital album is streaming on Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited, published by Capcom. "In deciding the musical direction of this title,"Kitagawa commented, "I first researched the Meiji era itself to get a sense of the background that would serve as the setting of the story.

"Unlike the mainline Ace Attorney games, I refrained from creating anything that would sound too digital or synthesized (and when I did employ such sounds, I made sure to use them in a way that would pair well with the surrounding analogue instruments), and used mostly period instruments in the instrumentation."
