Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2: Naruhodou Ryuunosuke no Kakugo (大逆転裁判2 -成歩堂龍ノ介の覺悟-; lit. "Great Turnabout Trial 2: The Resolve of Ryūnosuke Naruhodō") is a prequel game for the Ace Attorney series of text adventure video games. It is the eleventh installment overall in the series, and the sequel to Dai Gyakuten Saiban: Naruhodō Ryūnosuke no Bōken. Like its predecessor, it is published by Capcom, produced by Motohide Eshiro, and directed by Shu Takumi, with Kazuya Nuri heading art and Yasumasa Kitagawa composing the soundtrack.[1] The game was announced at Tokyo Game Show 2016 on September 17.

Story

Setting

Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2 takes place shortly after the first game, near the the end of Japan's Meiji period. Although Susato Mikotoba returned to Japan in the first game, she ends up meeting Ryūnosuke Naruhodō again. It is implied in the announcement trailer that Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2 would tie up all the loose ends and lingering questions introduced in the previous game.

Episodes

Five full-length episodes are available in the game. Additionally, like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice, there are two short non-canonical "what-if" scenarios available to those who pre-ordered the game.

Ace Attorney Theater

  • Kazuma Asōgi is the main playable character in a scenario involving Ryūnosuke Naruhodō. Asōgi is preparing to study abroad and faces off against Taketsuchi Auchi.
  • Sherlock Holmes is the main playable character in a scenario involving Barok van Zieks. Iris is arrested so Holmes acts as her defense attorney with Ryūnosuke as his assistant.
