Ace Attorney (Video Game)

Ace Attorney is a video game series for numerous handheld consoles and the Nintendo Wii. It's a rather unique video game, being a visual novel that stands out with its own gameplay elements. The animation is actually really good but basic. The investigation segments are in a first person perspective, and the characters each had a specific movement depending on how they're feeling. They are still rather appealing and full of character though, and they follow the principles of animation fairly well, considering the graphical capabilities of the original console they were released for. See, the first three Ace Attorney games are actually originally made for the Gameboy Advance, yet the cutscenes and animations are very well-done, with effective lighting and often film noir style imagery. They tell an effective story through the use of very basic animations, that hold up to the standards of many great visual novels, in fact it may have even set the standards of visual novel animation, seeing as lot have done it in this style since.
