In today's gift from the German USK rating system it has revealed that the Phoenix Wright might be on its way to WiiWare (or retail?)

[pje122]

Hmm, so I guess its just the first game being ported over?

 

[Oli]

Never delved into this series, but I'd definitely bite nowadays.

 

[Costanza]

I'd love it if they added full voice acting.

 

[V_Ben]

Yes, Yes, YES! I hope this is true love the series, can't wait to see it on the wii

 

[Grecco]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Gesture based pointing incoming.

 

[markot]

At least the stupid wiispeak thingy will be useful now.

>.> They should do episodes, cases, and have them as wiiware/dsiware games...

 

[:Motorbass]

But.... didn't they just say that... that will not happen?...

 

[Anony]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Gesture based pointing incoming.

prepare to play alone in a closed room

 

[RockmanWhore]

NOOOOOOOO. Phoenix Wright is my offical bed game. The game I play before sleeping or to get up the morning, I hope it's a port/collection. My Wii isn't on my gaming room, I don't want to spend a lot of time with a Wii game :lol

 

[WrenchNinja]

I'd love it if they added full voice acting.

Hearing testimonies during cross-examination could prove to be annoying. I know I get annoyed just from the text sound effect.

 

[confused]

Who the fuck is CEG interactive entertainment ?

 

[Why would you do that?]

I haven't dived into the series either, really. A couple of my friends became big fans of the series, though.

I'd love it if they added full voice acting.

Agree.

 

[Polari]

Would be pretty perfect for release in episode format.

 

[Zombie James]

Remake or port? I loves me some Phoenix Wright.

 

[BlueWord]

Not sure how I feel about this. It seems like maybe they're trying to expand the market for the games in Europe? I know it really hasn't done so well in some countries.

I wish Capcom would just announce the fifth one, already.

 

[bernardobri]

prepare to play alone in a closed room

:lol

Also, voice-acting is welcome as long it's good. (Young Mia's english voice is annoying as fuck.)

 

[faridmon]

awesome, best news since the announcement of another Shiren game for the DS.

 

[Paznos]

OBJECTION!! :lol

 

[dragonlife]

Hearing testimonies during cross-examination could prove to be annoying. I know I get annoyed just from the text sound effect.

Depends how they go about it.

They could voice it the first time and then just have the player read them when they're searching for contradictions.

Anyway: FUCK. YES. PW is probably one of my favorite series ever and it being on Wii in some way is fucking awesome.

 

[Hyunkel6]

As much as I like the series, I don't see myself sitting in front of my tv to play it. The ability to save anytime made it the perfect portable game. Besides, I finished the game twice.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Who the fuck is CEG interactive entertainment ?

German subsidiary of Capcom.

 

[Rlan]

Who the fuck is CEG interactive entertainment ?

Capcom distributor in Germany.

 

[BorkBork]

Good for people who can't find the DS copy anymore maybe?

 

[Buttonbasher]

Yes to the idea, No way to voice acting.

 

[Razien]

It'll be my first double dip. I won't even play it, just have it on my machine.

 

[Jocchan]

HAR HAR HAR

 

[GhaleonQ]

Outside of some incidental sales, does the sort of person who would like this lack a DS? If a person who plays video games in 2009 doesn't own a DS, do they deserve to play good games? I submit that the answer is, "No," for both questions. This is kind of pointless.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

An episodic format would be absolutely perfect for this.

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

If it's a new entry or something of that sorts than please be 2D!

If it's a port I'd far rather play the DS versions (portability works so well with the series) but it's nice to introduce the series to non-DS owners.

I'd love it if they added full voice acting.

Dear God no.

 

[Gospel]

This'll be the first time I play an entry in this series if true.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Last year in Japan the Phoenix Wright series was ported to the PC, so the assets in higher resolution are available. When a game appears on a rating system without a prior announcement it's usually a digital release, but this could still be some crazy retail release. The way the rating is written suggests it will also be the full game, and not in episodic chunks.

Really? First time I've heard of that.

 

[rataven]

New copies of the DS version are ridiculously hard to find so this is cool for anyone who hasn't been able to get it yet. But I'm not sure I'd double dip to play this on my tv. Portability is so perfect for this series.

 

[confused]

Capcom distributor in Germany.

Thanks, I live right next-door to Germany and never knew, my life was a waste:lol

 

[hellclerk]

FUCK YES. MOTION POINTING OBJECTION ACTION FOR THE FIRST TIME ON WII

 

[Cohsae]

Please include the orchestrated soundtracks. Cornered especially is amazing.

 

[Jocchan]

Really? First time I've heard of that.

They have high res assets for the whole series. Everything is hand-drawn.

Apollo Justice @ 480p lol

[SlipperySlope]

ooh nice.

 

[NomarTyme]

FUCK YES. MOTION POINTING OBJECTION ACTION FOR THE FIRST TIME ON WII

And this novelty will wear down quickly. Meh, news.

 

[Jinfash]

An episodic format would be absolutely perfect for this.

That would be awesome.

 

[Buttonbasher]

An episodic format would be absolutely perfect for this.

That's how they did the Cell phone port.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Episodic WiiWare releases would not only be a good way to appease those that feel Phoenix Wright was pushed out of the picture too early (I feel the opposite, I'd rather he had less involvement in Apollo Justice), but it would keep the game in people's minds while Ghost Trick comes out and has its time in the sun. There won't be as many complaints about long development times if a new episode is coming out every so often.

 

[SilverLunar]

But.... didn't they just say that... that will not happen?...

Was just going to say this.

 

[Razien]

ooh nice.

Nice? THIS IS GORGEOUS!

 

[Haunted]

I adored playing Harvey Birdman on Wii, so this should be good.

 

[Jocchan]

Just to tease you a bit, more 480p Apollo Justice stuff:

EDIT: vvv nice!

 

[The Alchemist Penguin]

This is a screenshot of the Japanese PC port, which gives us an idea of what a Wii version could look like:

 

[Hootie]

I'd love it if they added full voice acting.

NO.

 

[Yaweee]

Please include the orchestrated soundtracks. Cornered especially is amazing.

A Wiiware release with the orchestrated soundtrack and adjustable text speed would get me interested. I tried playing one of the DS games, but the brutally slow text crawl stopped me well before the halfway point.

 

[AtomskEater]

EXCELLENT.
