Origin

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a video game first released by Capcom in October 11th, 2001 where you play the role of the prominent lawyer, Phoenix Wright. This was the first installment to the Phoenix Wright Series and later went on to build upon it with game after game including installments such as Phoenix Wright: Justice for all, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations, and even games starring a different lead role such as Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. (Along with the spin-off, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.) The gameplay for the most part features text based adventure surrounding the lives of the previously mentioned Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice as they battle other attorneys in court, scourge crime scenes, and ultimately reach the ultimate goal of a “Not Guilty” verdict. The phrase “Objection!” is notable for its prevalence in the series, its over-the-top bombastic nature, the iconic finger-pointing gesture that goes with it, and comedic liberal usage throughout gameplay, as opposed to it, in reality, being far more orderly notion in real life, used to point out things that go against proper court proceedings.
