Game summary
The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures is the ninth installment of the Ace Attorney series of text adventure video games, originally released on the Nintendo 3DS.
Set in the late 19th century during Japan's Meiji Period and Britain's Victorian era, the game tells the story of an ancestor of Phoenix Wright, Ryunosuke Naruhodo, who works to sleuth out the truth in witnesses’ testimonies and clear his clients’ names in court alongside a cast of characters - including local ace detective Herlock Sholmes.
New gameplay mechanics introduced to the series include Dance of Deduction, in which Ryunosuke must deduce mistakes and oversights in Herlock's overboard logic and uncover new facts, and Summation Examination, in which players must point out discrepancies among jurors' arguments to make their defendant’s case and ultimately secure a “Not Guilty” verdict.
First released: Jul 2015
Play The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
