Episode 394: Ace Attorney (Patreon)

In the early '00s, a Capcom employee named Shu Takumi had a simple dream about making an adventure game about the many trials of a harried defense attorney. 20 years later, the Ace Attorney series spans a whopping 11 games—with two long-awaited titles finally seeing an English language release this month. So how did this humble little idea, designed to exist as a single creation, end up creating a mini-empire, with spinoffs and adaptations in the form of anime series, movies, and musicals? On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Maddie Copp, and Nina Matsumoto as the crew discusses the trials and tribulations of the original Ace Attorney trilogy. We trust you'll have no OBJECTIONs to this podcast.
