About Ace Attorney

Ace Attorney (referred to as Gyakuten Saiban (lit. "Turnabout Trial") and Gyakuten Kenji (lit. "Turnabout Prosecutor") in Japan) is a meta-series of primarily text-adventure video games created by Shu Takumi and published by Capcom for the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS handheld systems, with ports for Microsoft Windows, WiiWare and iOS. These games follow various lawyers in their battles in the courtroom and their investigations of crime scenes. The first four games, which were originally released between 2001 and 2007 in Japan, comprise the "Gyakuten Saiban" (meaning "Turnabout Trial") series, and follow defense attorneys Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice as they give their all to defend their clients in a courtroom setting resembling that of the Japanese legal system, using investigative skills, cross-examinations and evidence. The next two games, the first released in 2009 and the second (to date in Japan only) in 2011, are part of an ongoing interquel series, Gyakuten Kenji, and follow prosecutor Miles Edgeworth as he investigates various crime scenes to find the truth behind the crimes using evidence collection, logic and arguments with other people.

The Primidux Statue is a national treasure of Cohdopia whose likeness is based on the legendary King Primidux, who is said to have founded the country. A different statue of King Primidux, called "King Primidux and the Battlefield", also exists in the rose garden of the Cohdopian Embassy in the United States.

Legend has it that the founders of Cohdopia built the statue in honor of King Primidux. The relic was then passed down from generation to generation, until Cohdopia fell into a civil war and was divided into Allebahst and Babahl. After the conflict settled, it was found that both countries possessed a Primidux Statue. The importance of having the real statue drove both countries to insist that its statue was the genuine historical treasure.
