Phoenix Wright returns in the third game in the Ace Attorney series.
However, Phoenix is not the only lawyer that you'll be guiding, as you dig through the evidence to find the truth to free your clients.

Players will tackle five new cases as they encounter familiar faces and new ones in their search for justice.
Trials and Tribulations is a courtroom adventure game.
Players encounter two different types of phases as they play through the game — one takes place in the courtroom, where players directly interrogate subjects and try to disprove their lies with the evidence they have; the other takes place on the field, where Phoenix talks to people and examines locations to search for clues that may help his client's case.
As in Justice For All , players will have to sometimes break open people's "Psyche Locks", which cover a person when they have something that they really don't want to reveal to Phoenix.
Depending on the importance of the secret, more locks will cover the person, and can only be unlocked by presenting the correct evidence.
And as in the previous DS versions of the game, players can use the stylus to select menus and evidence, as well as use the microphone to shout out "OBJECTION!" and "HOLD IT!" when they want to present evidence.
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 - Trials and Tribulations 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 - Trials and Tribulations 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 2007.
