    To rate the game itself on the merits of the 3 Phoenix Wright games, these games are incredibly fun and goofy visual novel puzzles that are a blast to try to figure out, and a joy to read. The 3 of them together at a price that is entirely reasonable makes it a must have for anyone wanting to play these games.

    However, to rate this as a remake, the new graphics are actually really bad.

    However, to rate this as a remake, the new graphics are actually really bad. The new artwork is incredibly choppy and it really shows that all they did was paint over the old primarily GBA capable graphics. Since it fit the limitations and created an interesting style when it was released, it was a lot more forgivable, but when both of the other phoenix wright games on the 3ds look smooth and original, it just makes this new collection feel lazy and contrived.

    There is NO new content on any of the games, as they are just straight ports in the story, music, sounds, and everything non graphical. No behind the scenes, no editing of the plot to accommodate for the added DS case in the first game, and no attempts to make this game anything new. If you have the originals, there is no reason to pick this up, especially because it still isn't the Ace Investigation 2 that you've been waiting for.    … Expand

    I think that this is truly a unique game and I would recommend that if you are a fan of this type of genre then I think you should give this game a try.

    Diehard fans of the original trilogy and newcomers alike, make no mistake—this is the definitive way to experience Phoenix Wright on new hardware.

    It's faithful, it's intelligent, and most of all, a well-designed trilogy that respectfully stands the test of time from when it premiered.

    This remaster offers some relevant resolution improvements and an interesting 3D effect. The rest is pretty much the same as before.
