About this game
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is an enhanced port of Gyakuten Saiban .
This version features all of the cases from the Game Boy Advance release, with the addition of a fifth case which is longer than any of the previous ones and while it retains the same gameplay, it adds many new features that are unique to Nintendo DS such as microphone (to yell "Objection!" or use it to blow the fingerprint powder).

Also, the inventory in the new fifth case adds a feature to examine each item in more detail and adds full 3D representation of every object which can be rotated by DS stylus or zoomed in for closer examination.
The new case continues after the ends story of the original game where Miles Edgeworth was the suspect in murder examination but has been acquitted by none other than Phoenix Wright, his childhood friend and a defense attorney.
Maya Fey, Wright's assistant, also went to study and fully learn about her inherent powers of a mystic.
New case, titled "Rise from the Ashes", introduces all new characters, and Phoenix finds himself defending a chief prosecutor Lana Skye who has been charged with murdering a police detective, Bruce Goodman.
While Lana is all but admitting her crime and refuses to give any information that would play in her defense, her younger sister, Ema Skye, who aspires to one day become a forensic investigator, is not giving up on her sister and teams up with Phoenix in order to find out what really happened.
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 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 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 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 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. This 3DS release dates back to 2001.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo 3DS titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
