How Many Cases Are In Each Ace Attorney Game?

Across the Ace Attorney series (or Turnabout Trial as it’s known in Japan), we have been witness to a great many cases and just as many emotions. They teeter on the line of absurdity but have a genuinely solid degree of intrigue at times to really pull you into the case. Even when a parrot is a witness.

With three full collections out there right now now available on modern platforms, you might be wondering how many cases there are across them all. That’s a pretty good question! Well, you can bet there’s a whole bunch of trials for you to get a verdict on.

First Off, How Many Ace Attorney Games Are There?

So, to start off, it would help to know exactly how many games there are in the series. Excluding the two Miles Edgeworth entries and the Professor Layton crossover title, there are a total of eight Ace Attorney games at present. They are, in release order, shown in the table below.

The second

entry
was never localized
, and neither of the three spin-off games are currently available on modern platforms, hence their exclusion from this article.

There are also three collections you can buy at the moment, compiling the Phoenix Wright Trilogy, the Apollo Justice Trilogy, and the duology of the Great Ace Attorney games.

And How Many Cases Are There In Each Ace Attorney Game?

With the number of games out of the way, let’s break down how many cases there are in each game.

A fun fact lost in translation is that
Phoenix Wright’s actual Japanese name is Ryuichi Naruhodo
, more obviously connecting him with Ryunosuke.

On average, we’re seeing around five cases per game. Considering they tend to only get more complex as the games go on, they’ll take up plenty of your time.

Dual Destinies was also the first Ace Attorney game to transition to 3D.

So How Many Cases Are There In Total?

On average, each game in the series has about five entries.

That’s a pretty respectable number, considering their length, too. There’s not exactly replayability as there is only one outcome, but it may well take you long enough to figure out the result, considering how much the game likes to throw in a twist.

No single game holds the record as having the most cases, with both Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice having six cases total, including DLC.

No one game has the lowest amount either, as
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney and Justice For All both have only four cases
.

As a grand total across the whole series, you’re looking at 40 cases. That’s including the three DLC cases as well. That’s a pretty hefty number of cases. Plenty to get your courtroom appetite sated.
