So you've just finished Phoenix Wright's latest courtroom adventure and need something to help fill the gap between now and the time he crosses paths with a certain gentleman professor. It looks like the Ace Attorney's first three courtroom cases are going to see a re-release on Nintendo's handheld with a bit of a facelift.

The Japanese magazine Famitsu (via Siliconera) reports that the original Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Justice for All, and Trials and Tribulations will come to 3DS bundled up as the Ace Attorney Trilogy. Each of these handheld cases will receive "HD" upgrades and added touch controls, just like its iOS counterpart.

Ace Attorney Trilogy HD will hit Japan under the title "Ace Attorney: Wright Selection" on April 17. No word on a North American release at this time.

Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
