What Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is an adventure game developed by Capcom and released in 2005. It is available on Legacy Mobile Device only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Phoenix Wright's obscure mobile debut, released in an episodic format with the first episode acting as a free demo and the rest of the game having to be purchased from the now defunct Capcom World service. Naturally, some sacrifices were made to make the game work within the limitations of the platform. Noticeably the character sprites aren't animated, but they still managed to include the classic sound bites and vibrating objections. Unfortunately, everything past the first episode seems to have been lost to time.
