Mystic Wish

And by that I mean video of the games, I'm not touching the anime until it's dubbed [but for everyone else, that is a thing, it's on crunchyroll iirc]

The original Japanese version of the games, Gyakuten Saiban, started as a trilogy of GBA visual novels. The GBA and original DS are region free so if you're ever curious you can always import/get a Japanese ROM and take a look, but fluent knowledge of the language and culture are known to be required

The first one was brought over to the US and localised as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney when the trilogy was set for re-release on DS. The Japanese versions of the DS games are known to contain both English and Japanese language options, but I don't own one so I can't confirm if they're identical to the localisations or if their English is an earlier draft or something. The first game's English edition was written by someone totally different from who writes pretty much the rest of English Ace Attorney, and was released with the assumption it wouldn't sell well enough to justify localising the others, but due to the magic of literally becoming a meme that didn't happen

Here are the English games in release date order, which is my preferred method of playing through the series personally, and because individual cases within each game jump around all over the fucking timeline, it's not plausible to list them pretty much any other way in my opinion. I am including spin-off games and the Professor Layton crossover, as well as links to commentary-less LP so you can basically treat this series of video games like you would a subbed anime.

( Huge list ahead. )
