General Information
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies is the fifth entry from Ace Attorney series. Known in Japan as 逆転裁判５ (Gyakuten Saiban 5 / lit. Turnabout Trial 5). As it was the first Ace Attorney game on the Nintendo 3DS, the developers made use of 3D graphics; they focused on preserving the look of the earlier Ace Attorney games' 2D art, and wanted to ensure that the graphics looked better than those in the simultaneously developed Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
The game first released for Nintendo 3DS at Japan on 25 July 2013, under the name 逆転裁判５ (Gyakuten Saiban 5 / lit. Turnabout Trial 5) and had limited edition that include a Phoenix Wright figurine, a Nintendo 3DS pouch, and stickers. World wide version for Nintendo 3DS on 24 October 2013 as digital release due to lack of retail support for previous Ace Attorney games. The game ported to iOS at Japan on 7 August 2014 and for world wide on 14 August 2014. Android version released for world wide on 23 May 2017. The two additional episodes, Turnabout Reclaimed and Quiz Turnabout Deduction (remained exclusive to Japan due to its dependency on in-depth knowledge of Japanese culture), were made available as downloadable content shortly after the game's Japanese release.
