Gyakuten Saiban (commonly translated as Turnabout Trial) is a Japan-only game where you play as defense attorney Ryūichi Naruhodō to defend innocent people in a fictional (and rather corrupt) version of Japan's court system.

Assuming you aren't Japanese, you probably know it because of its internationally-released remake for the Nintendo DS.

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: One would expect the unused sprites from the DS version to be here.

Unused Music#

Track 0x09 is an unused piece of music that was intended to be used as either the victory theme or the epilogue of each chapter. It also exists in the DS remake.
