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 DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney for Nintendo DS 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 NDS release dates back to 2006.
