* ExecutingMeddling: The reason ''Gyakuten Kenji 2'' has remained Japan-only; see NoExportForYou below.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Concept art for Shi-Long Lang featured him shirtless, with the constellation of Orion scarred on his chest. Seems the director objected to the toplessness, even after a feather boa was added to cover the nipples.
** A trailer shows Kay appearing in Turnabout Airline. Whether this means Kay would have first appeared earlier, or that Turnabout Airlines was originally a later case, is anybody's guess.
** Originally the concept of the game involved Ema Skye as the protagonist and the game would focus on forensics tactics.
** Concept art sketches show that Quercus Alba's design went through a phase with him looking ''much'' more like a gnarly old tree.

** Shimon Aizawa = Jorn Marsh

** Shimon Aizawa = Johann "John" Marsh

* {{Expy}}: In ''GK1'', we have a crime syndicate that does practically every evil activity in the book being investigated by Interpol. Sounds a lot like [[Franchise/StreetFighter Shadaloo]].

*** YMMV but some feel this is stupid as Edgeworth is clearly a prosecutor... who is the protagonist of a game about a crime scene detective. The creators changed the protagonist in response to fan reaction, but didn't change the game to match - so Miles Edgeworth, a renowned prosecutor, prosecutes precisely... nobody. In two whole games featuring him as a protagonist.
**** Ironically enough, the one time the player controls him prosecuting someone (near the end of ''[=AAI2=]''), [[spoiler:he's no longer a prosecutor at that point, having handed in his badge the day before.]] He is seen prosecuting the BigBad of the first game just before the credits roll in ''AAI'', but the player isn't controlling him at that point.
