He makes a name for himself after a trial in which he successfully represents himself, and ends up accompanying fellow student Asōgi Kazuma in his placement in England to study the British legal system.
The two of them are joined by Susato Mikotoba, a legal assistant and the daughter of Naruhodō's legal mentor.
Naruhodō ends up instantly in over his head, forced to defend clients in the British legal systems while getting help from strange allies - including Herlock Sholmes himself.
Gameplay follows the traditional Ace Attorney style, with a few new features.
Like in Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney , cross-examinations can sometimes involve multiple witnesses.
Courtroom sessions are now held in front of juries, who are empowered to stop proceedings and issue a verdict at any time.
Luckily, Naruhodō is allowed to provide closing arguments which can result in overturning verdicts.
Outside of trials, Naruhodō and Sholmes can collaborate on deductions that lead to new breakthroughs using the new "Dance of Deduction" feature.
Like other Ace Attorney games, the plot is divided into five cases: The Adventure of the Great Departure : Naruhodō is accused of the murder of a visiting British medical professor, Dr.
Wilson, and is forced to defend himself in court.
The Adventure of the Unbreakable Speckled Band : A passenger is killed on board the steamship making the journey from Japan to England in a locked room mystery.
Naruhodō finds himself accused of the crime again, and is forced to clear his name.
Luckily, Herlock Sholmes turns out to be on board the ship and offers his help - whether Naruhodō wants it or not.
The Adventure of the Runaway Room : After arriving in England, Naruhodō is forced to take on a trial to earn his keep.

About Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.
Gamevaro tracks Dai Gyakuten Saiban for Nintendo 3DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Dai Gyakuten Saiban to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically.
