Phoenix Wright Series Coming To WiiWare

Pure...AWESOME!!! I'm not into PW games, but I might have to give the series a shot if these games become the pure awesome that I've predicted.

No OBJECTIONs here! I love Phoenix Wright and playing them all on my lovely new telly makes me very excited indeed.

I knew this was coming. It seems perfect for WiiWare. Really excited for this.

If you don't know this don't answer, but are the separate parts the same as the DS ones?

@Aviator: they're all titled the same as the DS releases, and 'episode 5' sounds like the extra episode that was released in PW:AA, 'Rise from the Ashes'. I'd assume they're the same games, to be honest.

I don't own my two PW DS games anymore so I'll happily download these babies! Yes!

I would've prefered these DLs as dsiware, though it will be v.interesting to see how it turns out on the Wii!

Oh well. I would still buy them anyways. No matter how many times I play it i still forget what to do most of the time.

Its comming to europe too, i just saw it was rated by USK=German version of PEGI so theres a chance we get it

AWESOME!

BTW, congrats on your silver shield Des

Too bad that it are ports from the earlier games. I think that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Episode 5) is just the last DS specific case in the first game. Probably with new Wii specific things. But I probably still get them. Phoenix Wright is Awesome (yes, with a capital A).

After i played Zack&Wiki, i was convinced that Point & Clicks is a great kind of game to play on Wii.
And i LOVE Ace Attorney, i will buy ALL of them ^^ yay. (Even i already beat all of these cases)

@Terranigma
As you may know, the Phoenix Wright arc. of the AA series was originally released on GBA, the DS version that we get were ports.
It seems that the 2º game and 3º are in full by 1,200 in japan
The first one in the GBA have 4 cases, while on the DS it had an extra new case. For the looks of it you buy the 4 original cases of the 1º game by 900 in japan, and the extra DS episode by 300, so if you want to have the 5 cases of the 1º game, it's the same price as the others, 1,200.

Pleeeeeeease come to the US. <3

Darn, by the headline, I thought this was NEW games! Ports of games I already have? Not too useful to me. On the other hand, these games are stupid rare on DS, so an alternate way to play them can only be a good thing, especially one that won't be limited by low production runs. It seems odd this is on WiiWare and not DSiWare, but whatever. These really are awesome games any way about it, and I fully endorse downloading these for those who haven't played them!

I am so buying thses.
this is gonna rock

New stuff would've been cool, but this is great too as I lack the first two

(I'd rather play them on my DS, but playing them period will be great)

It will be an instant purchase for me couse the games are a lot cheaper on wiiware PW 2 costs 22 euros and on wiiware only 12 euros

Hmmm... if they update the visuals, this is a definate download for me. If they stretch the spries, then, sadly, pass... I say that and I'll still download. @.@

Crap, I was hoping for new PW games! I don't know if I'm going to buy them since I already own all of them.

Well, I've never played a PW game, so this'll probably be the one. And my brother could use these, too. (He's becoming a lawyer)

"All you foolish fools who have foolishly not played these yet better download all of them.".

Exciting news, as I'm all for more people being exposed to one of my favorite gaming series. Those are pretty good price points, given how many hours of content are involved.

I remember the first PW game.It was really enjoyable and i loved it.now im gonna wait for the first PW game to come to wiiware.At least i got plenty of points to download the game.

Is it confirmed that Episode 1-5 will be a seperate download and not DLC?

Yuhuuuuuuuuuu!!

this is nice news, something I had always been hoping for but actually a little dissapointing, too since I was hoping for new episodes. I guess going back to the first few would feel pretty refreshing, though, since it's been a while. Be nice if there were some new animations and widescreen support/ etc.

@JR - LOL

Nice! I had thought about this exact concept when WiiWare first launced.

@OB: I hear you; those Wii Point prices are less than half of these games' original retail price, too. You can't trade them in or resell them afterward, of course, but it's still a great deal for how long you'll spend playing them, and hopefully it'll spark new interest among people who haven't played any of the AA games yet.

I'll probably pick this up even though I've already got the entire series (so far) for DSi. it'll be interesting to see it on such a big screen... hopefully they'll update the graphics and music, too. I don't see why they wouldn't, anyway... :3

Frankly, at about £7.40 a pop, deal of the month!

I'm tempted to double dip if the graphics are better. I'm told these new PC versions have graphics at better resolution/palette.

so wait, the DS games are coming to Wiiware?

WOW. I got so hyped, but they're the same games... But they're too goddamn awesome, the one's who haven't yet delved into the world of Objection!s and Take that!s should definetly do it now!
In my oppinion, the second best game series ever made, the crown jewel of king Capcom.

Sounds great! I haven't gotten into this series yet (no DS), but this looks like a good place to start.

Even a few good voiceovers would make this worth retreading. If you don't have a microphone, how will you raise objections? "Throwing" evidence at the judge with the Wii remote would be a fun way...

Awesome! I've only played a demo of the series and never got any of them. Can't wait! And pretty weird prices, but smart.

I still don't own Trials & Tribulations. I guess I'll be getting it when it's released on WiiWare.

I'll probably just get the first game and leave it at that. I highly doubt I'll like it, I just want to play it because it's a Capcom series.

They are coming outside of Japan in early 2010. They are priced at 1000 points each according to Capcom Unity.

@Xkhaoz: These are awesome games, but COMPLETELY useless as a guide to law as they don't work on any real-world legal system I'VE ever heard of (definitely not American...you're presumed Guilty unless proven innocent)!

@LegendofPasta99: What do you mean, how will you raise objections? Seeing as the series originated on GBA, and the DS versions had the option to just press a button to do the same thing, I'd have to say shouting into the microphone is NOT necessary (or desirable, IMO).

Hmm...the graphics look just like the DS version in every screenshot on Capcom Unity except the one showing a little Wiimote tutorial. I don't know if that means most of the game is still low-res, or they just put up a bunch of old screens with ONE new one. I think I'll most likely stick with my DS copies either way, though.

cool but i think i am gonna pass if it aint a 9

The skeptics out there really ought to give these a shot. They're way more fun than they look. I was a skeptic until I tried the first one and couldn't stop. They're really brilliant, funny, and well written.

The story writer is one of the best in the whole game business. I wish he would give an interview. This series has such a big quality. Too bad I played all.

Awesome! The reason I didn't buy the DS games because the games were said to be relatively short and I found €40,- per game a bit too expensive. But now I will finally be able to play the series.
