Is it still worth playing?

Capcom's 2015 courtroom adventure for the Nintendo 3DS, set in the Meiji period of Japan and Victorian Britain, in which the university student Ryunosuke Naruhodo takes on trials. In England he meets the detective Herlock Sholmes and his assistant Iris Wilson. The game alternates between investigations and courtroom battles. Sometimes you have to cross examine several witnesses at the same time. In the Dance of Deduction, Herlock forms flawed theories and you correct them through careful examination. In Summation Examinations you persuade jurors to change a unanimous guilty verdict by comparing contradictory statements from two jurors. It had no official Western release until 2021, when it came in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. Each case can still be argued from both sides, with a trial where several witnesses speak at once and a detective whose theories you correct.
