The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series has garnered a cult following over these many years.

For those interested in earning each and every achievement this game has to offer, check out the information below.

Guide to Success

If you want to earn all of the achievements this trilogy has to offer, then you are going to need to keep your eyes peeled. There are 30 achievements in total. But, 14 of the achievements are missable. Luckily, there are no achievements that will require you to replay the game. So, you can earn every achievement with a single completion of the trilogy. However, you will have to make the most out of every single chapter.

Hunter Boyce is a writer, which probably seems pretty obvious with "author" prominently displayed. He mostly writes about video games. However, he was previously a mixed martial arts news writer. When not writing about people pelting each other in the face or about leveling up in the latest RPG, he tends to spend his time as a web producer in Atlanta. You can shout all of your MMA and video game related quandaries at him at @SomthinClever on Twitter. Feel free to make your demands to him in ALL CAPS. He loves that.
