Originally released for the Nintendo GameBoy Advanced in Japan in 2001, The Ace attorney series was well received by critics and gamers alike with Capcom even crediting the series with helping to popularized the visual novel genre to Western audiences when it debuted for the Nintendo DS in 2005.

with that being said we here at the Nostalgia Road Trip Network think that the greatest aspect of the series is its Music. SO, with that out of the way it’s time to gather your evidence as we cross examine these amazing tracks in this stage of the Retro VGM Revival Hour as we cover the ACE ATTORNEY SERIES!
