Random These Gorgeous Ace Attorney Movie Posters Do Real Justice To The Games
"I think the time is 3pm"
Ace Attorney, the game about lawyer Phoenix Wright getting his clients acquitted, already has a live-action movie adaptation — and an anime, and a stage production — but all of them were made for the Japanese audience, amongst whom the game is much more popular than in the West. It's unlikely that we'll ever get a...

About The Game
Not everyone is innocent until proven guilty! Players star as a defence attorney, who must prove his seemingly guilty client's innocence no matter how dire the circumstances may seem. The game presents twisting storylines and intriguing gameplay in a comical anime style. Players must collect evidence, weed through inconsistent testimonies, and overcome corrupt agendas to ensure that justice prevails. Capcom plans to release Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney across PAL territories this autumn.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney includes the following features:
- Play from the first person perspective through five intriguing cases
- Two distinct gameplay segments:
** Investigation phase - survey crime scenes, interview witnesses and gather evidence that will be used in court
** Court phase - present findings from the investigation to support your case, listen to testimonies, examine witnesses, and determine what is fact from fiction so you can prove your client's innocence
- Colourful cast of characters
** Phoenix Wright - the game's main character who is an accomplished defence lawyer with a keen sense for discerning fact from truth
** Maya Fey - a bright young girl that aids Phoenix in his trials; she is learning to harness her psychic powers which will prove useful in a pinch
** Mia Fey - an ace attorney who taught Phoenix everything she knows about the courtroom and continues to support him as a mentor
** Miles Edgeworth - Phoenix's arch rival, this slick prosecutor has never lost a case; his intense hatred for criminal behaviour drives him to use any means to ensure a guilty verdict
