oct 12, 2001 - "Gyakuten Saiban" releases in japan for the GBA

Description:

the very first gyakuten saiban game to ever release. gyakuten saiban literally translates to, "turnabout trial."

this game introduces the protagonist, naruhodō ryūichi, and follows his quest to find out what happened to his oldest friend, mitsurugi reiji. he winds up uncovering the truth behind a murder that's gone cold, a scandal haunting the ayasato family, and the crimes of a corrupt prosecutor along the way.

the events of this game take place years in the future - through eventual context clues, we find out that the events of this game take place in 2016. naturally that causes some anachronisms that the writing team could have never predicted. naruhodo, why do you have a nokia cell phone?

the majority of this game's events take place in 2016. for information on this game's events, refer to that part of the timeline
