Phoenix Wright confirmed for WiiWare News

DS Wii News by Ellie Gibson

18 November, 2009

Following talk earlier this month that Phoenix Wright would be coming to the Wii, Nintendo has made it official.

According to Famitsu (as translated by Kotaku), Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney will be released for WiiWare in Japan on 15th December. It will cost 900 Wii Points (around Ł6.30 / €9).

Justice for All will follow on 26th January, while Trials and Tribulations will be released on 23rd February. They'll cost 1200 points each (around Ł9 / €12). The fifth case of Ace Attorney, previously only available in the DS game, will be released on 16th March for 300 Points (Ł2.10 / €3).

There's no word on when or if we can expect to see these titles in the European WiiWare shop.

And here's me thinking it would be new Ace Attorney content. Oh well...

Fifth AA game? PW:AA (1), Justice for All (2), Trials and Tribulations (3), Apollo Justice (4) and ...? I thought the Edgeworth game was named Perfect Prosecutor?

The fifth title is the extra DS only mission on Ace Attorney. The one with Chief Gant. Disappointed it's not a new title but they're great prices and I hope they sell well. Roll on Edgey!

I see confirmed on a European site so I think confirmed for Europe.

Oh, _that_. I'm also holding back on Edgeworth - I only just read the other day that there are no court sessions, so presumably each case is one long adventure segment. Should still be good, just expect it to be different!

Attention all Wii owners who haven't played these on the DS: BUY THESE GAMES.

I think the Edgeworth game is called Ace Attorney Investigations, so maybe they could legitmatly release it under this label. And apperently it does have a couple of courtroom sessions, and there are proper interogration scenes in it, so it's perhaps not as bad as it sounds.

Weren't there also rumours of an iPhone version some time ago? I'd kill for that.

Just make sure you do it in a ludicrously convoluted way that on first impression pins it on someone else, but have one loose thread in your tangle web of lies for someone to tug away at.

Couldn't agree more with dudefella, these games are absolutely superb. Yes they have a few quirks and frustrations but the storytelling is great and I genuinely reckon they are the funniest games I have ever played.

They're apparently rated by the USK already so a European release is highly likely. Still only four games, they're not releasing Apollo Justice so even if the bonus case is treated as a separate game it's only the three PW games and the bonus case.

Great games and can be hard to find, but why not release them on DSiware as well?

I just picked up Apollo Justice recently after going through all the others. It seems to have vanished from the market entirely. I'm enjoying the way they've taken the story so far. Probably skip the Wii ones myself, but it's a good place for them.

Just this week, I was thinking to myself that I should really invest some time into this series (haven't played a single PW entry yet) and here is the perfect accessible solution.

Petty I know, but is this just a GBA emulator or do you lot think it will have voice options and wiimote interaction?

Can't wait for the new Edgeworth. Here's a link to the flash demo in case anyone hasn't played it yet.

damn you commissar\'s_handgun

i was fine not having a Ace attorney game to play until I played that demo.

I think the method of examining in the demo is not that well thought out though

This is the cheapest port I've seen for a while.

For shame, Capcom.
