The second case, Turnabout Sisters, was originally going to be the first case of the game, but it was thought to be too long for a prologue, so a new case, The First Turnabout, was created. Series creator Shu Takumi commented that he wrote some of the key twists of The First Turnabout in just 10 minutes (i.e. Spoiler:the passport and the time zone difference).

The bonus fifth case, "Rise From the Ashes", is the only case in the Ace Attorney games that doesn't have "turnabout" in the title. Strangely, the Japanese name for the case is "Yomigaeru Gyakuten", "gyakuten" being the Japanese equivalent for turnabout.
