Another day of trial awaits us, and our client is still the prime suspect in a murder he didn’t commit. Perhaps it’s time for a Turnabout Samurai.
By sheer coincidence, my copy of A Profound Waste of Time: Volume 3 arrived over the holidays and one of the pieces, written by Gita Jackson from Aftermath, was about Shu Takemi, the creator of the Ace Attorney games.
According to her article, he has written almost 30 mysteries across all of the cases in the Ace Attorney franchise, which makes him one of the most prolific murder mystery writers of our age. I said he wrote about as many stories as Christie in the recording, but that’s a lie. Still, he does come closer to the greats of the genre than most others.
And when I think about that, it makes me wonder if his work will get the same level of prestige years down the line. He certainly deserves it. Few games ever make me laugh on replay as much as I’ve found myself laughing while streaming this one.
Congrats to you, Mr. Takemi-san. I hope you’re doing well.
