Best Battle Royale Ace Attorney Dating Sim EVER

The year is 2010 and Japanese writer Kazutaka Kodaka feels the adventure genre has gone stale. Working at Spike, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc was conceived as a hybrid of exploration, dating sim, murder mystery and Ace-Attorney-like trails. It had a dark story punctuated by equally dark humor and there was some concern about its ability to reach a big enough audience. A PSP exclusive, the niche title managed to find that audience and its popularity has resulted in numerous sequels and spin-offs as well as anime series, books and plenty more. Kodaka's plan to introduce a new twist on a stale genre was successful and there is nothing out there quite like Danganronpa even today.

Looks and Stuff: As is was originally developed for a portable system, Danganronpa might not be as polished...
