This game is from the 3D era of Ace Attorney, and thus was on the 3DS. However, the game is in HD and features DLC outfits for the 2nd game for free. The Great Ace Attorney games came out later than most Ace Attorney games as it has many of the previous games features, as long as introducing new features such as Dance of Deduction and Summination Examinations, which I'll leave for you to find out what they are. The 2nd game was Japan exclusive until this game came out so this game is very new to us in the West.The game is a love letter to all Ace Attorney fans from the original Ace Attorney director himself.

This game is not connected to the Ace Attorney timeline, so you can play it regardless if this is your first, 3rd, or even last Ace Attorney game. The Great Ace Attorney takes place during the Meiji era, long before any Phoenix Wright game takes place so the lore doesn't clash with the mainline games. Though I suggest playing the original Ace Attorney before jumping into this one.

Shu Takumi, original director of the Ace Attorney games, directed both of the Great Ace Attorney games, unlike him being absent for Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice development.
This game fixes many flaws the previous games had and also has many pros about it:
+QoL features such as Autoplay (Automatically skips text for you), Story Mode (For those who just want to read the game and not have to play, though achievements are disabled), and Text Skipping (Hold left click to skip text super fast!).
+The game also has a great plot, funny characters, amazing soundtrack, and even racism. Wonderful. If you're put off by the "racism" its because again, the game takes place during the Meiji Era or late 1800s where it's just historically accurate to include racism though it's not very extreme.
+This compilation is on many consoles, Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4. No Xbox support for whatever reason.
+Also it has a cat. I LOVE WAGAHAI
+Update: It also has a dog. I LOVE TOBY

The game has flaws though:
-Very dialogue heavy, it's pacing is super slow especially in the first game. For example, whenever you present evidence like a photograph and you need to show the exact point of interest the characters have like a conversation for 10 months about how they're confused and you need to present the point of interest whilst prosecution tries to use the same claim that this is unrelated and already aligns with the accusation against defendant, main character starts thinking in head about stuff. Fortunately, text skipping allows you to skip the long winded dialogue so you can actually play the game.
-Plot doesn't get interesting until 3rd case for 1st game. First case is a long tutorial thanks to the long dialogue and should have ended earlier. THREE PARTS for a tutorial case, and theres not even an investigation part. The 2nd case also feels like another tutorial case where you learn about how to investigate, examine, and move around and get introduced to Dance of Deductions. Though the ending for it is kinda lame. It gets good cases 3-5 though.

-To demonstrate how long the game is: The first game took me around 92 hours to beat. This was both using Autoplay and me pressing space/left click to skip text.
I haven't finished the 2nd game, currently I am on middle of case 3 and around 65 hours in playtime, though others may finish quicker than I do.

To really just sum it all up. The Great Ace Attorney is a wonderful game with funny characters, amazing soundtrack, and a very interesting plot. It also has a cat. Game unfortunately has garbage pacing just like all the other reviews complain about and case 1 of the first game was really long and case 2 of the first game had an underwhelming conclusion.

Live, Laugh, Love Wagahai
