The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series has garnered a cult following over these many years. With the trilogy having just released on consoles in North America last month, the series’ following is only growing more and more with each passing day. For those interested in earning each and every achievement this game has to offer, check out the information below.

Guide to Success
