Not really, it’s just kind of a weird name for the collection based on the fact that Apollo plays a relatively big role in the story of these three games.
Definitely more so in the last one. Dual Destinies was mostly Phoenix and Athena, and yeah, a small bit of Apollo. and Apollo kinda got his limelight stolen in his own game anyway
Funny how they called the collection “Apollo Justice : Ace Attorney” when two games in it literally put “Phoenix Wright” back in the title.
I don’t mind it a huge bunch, I mean Phoenix Wright plays a huge part in Apollo’s own game, as far as I’m concerned they’re all just one giant series with naming issues. As a kid I never played Apollo cause I thought his character design was goofy (just nuanced kid opinions).
All these years later when I finally played Apollo I realized it really was another Phoenix Wright game, I just cheated myself out of enjoying it because of that perception that it wasn’t the same thing
The funniest thing about Apollo was, I hated his game - because of everyone apart from the man himself. Then, his name was disassociated from the two following games, but I really enjoyed his storyline in each.
There are accusations that new backstory for him was forcibly shoved into Spirit of Justice, but I disagree; when you’re playing a game in isolation, I think it just doesn’t work well to have too many lingering plot points to be resolved in future - it made sense to only feature story beats that will reach some resolution.
I liked Apollo Justice. Yeah, it was very disjointed and barely consistent at times, but it was still very fun to me.
The weirdest part of it was discovering how absolutely crazy Phoenix looks to anyone not in his head. Someone described it as talking to the version of Phoenix who chose all the stupidest answers in previous games, and yeah, it’s kinda like that.
It was rather surprising to see how much the following two games ret-conned from Apollo’s first game. Apollo’s back story was completely changed, the idea of jury/lay judge trials never went anywhere (ironically until the prequel series which takes place in the UK instead of Japan-erica - and I am aware it was shoehorned in AJ as Takumi advocating for jury trials in Japan), Apollo seeming to have a falling out with Phoenix off-screen then reconciling almost instantly, they just seemed to only carry over Apollo, Trucy and Klavier, and Trucy and Klavier didn’t even necessarily need Apollo to be there to be relevant. Fortunately the ret-cons worked out for the better for his character. I would imagine any future AA7 will feature at least one case in his office in Khura’in, and Athena will take over Apollo’s former role as Phoenix’s main protege/successor.

They made 3 Apollo games?
