[Review] Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice

System: 3DS (eShop)
Release date: September 8, 2016
Developer: Capcom
Publisher Capcom
I won’t dance around saying that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice is kind of a mess, albeit a lovable one. If you think too hard about the overall plot, setting aside a few genuinely good and surprising twists, it’s full of laughably bad inconsistencies and weak writing choices. However, if you shut that part of your brain off – the one that checks for internal consistency – and focus on the moment-to-moment mystery plot and absurdity of what unfolds in these courtrooms, then it’s a much better experience. In other words, Spirit of Justice is yet another Ace Attorney game made in the absence of series creator Shu Takumi.

Just like in Japan, Capcom will make DLC available for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice overseas. Part of this encompasses costumes, and fans will have an opportunity to acquire them for free.
Capcom says that there will be “free DLC costumes for the first week”. We’ve seen alternate outfits for Phoenix Wright (Furio Tigre), Athena Cykes (Trés Bien), and Apollo Justice (old high school uniform). Sengoku Basara costumes were also released in Japan a little after launch, but it’s unknown what their status is in the west.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice launches on Thursday.
