Скачать или смотреть Ace Attorney, Sherlock Holmes, & Japan

The Great Ace Attorney games are set during the Meiji Era, a time when Japan opened its doors to the outside world and Western influence. Coincidentally, this was also the time when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories began exciting readers with all sorts of mysteries and deductions.

This combination created a fervor for Sherlock in Japan specifically. It was the start of a cultural staple we can still see there today. This video dives into that phenomenon, figuring out why the stories caught on so strongly back then, acknowledging that Sherlock is still popular today, and deducing why Capcom decided to poke fun with its “Herlock Sholmes” character.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is available now on Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC via Steam. It’s a collection of The Great Ace Attorney Adventures and The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve, which initially launched in Japan only in 2015 and 2017, respectively. Now the rest of the world can play them too!
