Dai Gyakuten Saiban: Naruhodō Ryūnosuke no Bōken, also known as The Great Ace Attorney, is an adventure video game developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo 3DS. It is a prequel to the Ace Attorney video game series, directed and produced by Shu Takumi and Shintaro Kojima, respectively. The game was released in Japan on July 9, 2015; a release outside Japan is not currently planned. A sequel, Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2: Naruhodō Ryūnosuke no Kakugo, is planned to be released for the Nintendo 3DS.
The game carries on the courtroom style gameplay of previous installments in the Ace Attorney series, including the fully 3D environments and character models previously featured in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies. Like previous titles, the game is divided between investigation, in which players explore areas to gather evidence and testimonies, and courtroom battles, in which players must find contradictions in witness testimonies to find the truth behind a case. Similarly to Takumi's previous game, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, the player sometimes have to cross-examine multiple witnesses at the same time.
Trials in the game feature a jury, not just one judge; this also was the case in the fourth case of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, however, in Dai Gyakuten Saiban the jury directly influences the trial. After the case has been presented, and the witnesses have been cross-examined, the jurors decide on the verdict. If a majority decides on "guilty", then the defendant is given a guilty verdict. However, the player is able to present a closing argument after the verdict during which they interview the jurors, attempting to change their minds. If after the closing argument the player is successful, then the jury takes back its verdict and the trial continues. If they fail, then the verdict stays as is and the trial is adjourned.
New to this game is Joint Reasoning, which takes place during investigations alongside Sherlock Holmes. In these segments, Holmes makes quick deductions about a witness, and it is up to the player to point out contradictions in his theories. This will occasionally require the player to inspect the witness from various angles, similar to how certain bits of evidence could be examined in previous installments, in order to find hidden clues that can help lead Holmes to the proper conclusion.
