Those who have been on The Outerhaven long enough know that some of us (but especially myself) are big fans of the Ace Attorney franchise. The games have grown to a certain popularity in the US, so much so that Capcom earlier this year compiled the Japan-only titles into The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (read our review!)
But as we wait for whatever may come next (make the 7th main game already!!!!), Famitsu has revealed that a special survey was taken in Japan for fans of the franchise. They weighed in on their favorite characters, their favorite cases, lawyers, clients, and so on. You’ll find some big surprises here. Check it out below:
