There was a time Phoenix Wright was the game to own for Nintendo's little dual-screen wonder. It was the kind of game no one was making on a system that was meant to do what no one else was doing. That made it special. Fast forward to 2014, four sequels and two spin-offs later, and now we have the first three games--

Meanwhile, the 3DS has seen its own exclusive Phoenix Wright sequel that finally brings all the innovation the fancy new hardware can afford to the table. It would've been a painstaking process, no doubt, but the first Phoenix Wright's final mission brings such welcome changes to the table, using the DS's audio and touchscreen functions, that the other two games, which still haven't gotten a similar treatment, are dimmed by comparison. Instead, the only other real enhancement to this new version is the ability to play the games in their original Japanese forms, which is neat if you understand Japanese, though Jeremy Blaustein's English localization is wonderful enough as it is.

There is, of course, the off-chance that the trilogy might be someone's first exposure to the life and times of Phoenix Wright, or at least their first exposure in a great many years, and it's as refined a jumping-off point for that as can be expected. For anyone for whom this is their third, four, or fifth time around, there's nothing new to discover, aside from the convenience of having all three games in one handy digital package. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but knowing what the 3DS and this series is capable of, the games' flaws have never been more glaring, and not nearly enough has been done to overrule the objections players have had for years.

The Koalition writes: "The original Phoenix Wright game was first released on the Nintendo DS back in 2005. It was an interesting game that blended dramatic, comedic storytelling with the interactivity of the DS touch screen. The game was popular enough to spawn two more sequels and a series of spin-off games staring different characters and more unique mysteries. In case you missed the chance to play these games back on the Nintendo DS, Capcom is releasing the first three original Phoenix Wright titles onto one collection for the Nintendo 3DS with the aptly named Phoenix Wright Trilogy HD."

Aviary Attorney is a bird lawyering game, by which I mean, it's about a falcon who is a defence attorney. You could say it's a mix of Phoenix Wright and Hatoful Boyfriend.  As Monsieur Jayjay Falcon, it's your job to gather evidence and present a defence case in court. Your client is Lady Caterline Demiaou, a bourgeoisie kitten who claims to have been framed for murder while at a political b...
