HOLD-IT!!! Capcom announces Ace Attorney 4 for US early 2008!!!

This news made my day, made my week, heck I'm happy for the rest of the year! Even though it doesn't star Phoenix Wright, I love Capcom's Ace Attorney series, so I'm excited. What's really worth noting is the DS's capabilities in this game, like the last and final case in the first Phoenix Wright game, which was also my favorite case.

Looking forward to this one!

Capcom has been playing it coy with Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. The creative successor to the Phoenix Wright series, the company has often hinted that it will have to estimate the series' viability based on sales numbers for the GBA ports. Of course, this could just be a ploy to sell more copies of Phoenix Wright games, but nevertheless, Apollo Justice hasn't been a sure thing.

That is until today, when Capcom (finally) officially announced that Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney will be coming to our shores in early 2008. This is the first game of the series to be developed specifically for the Nintendo DS, so it's likely that it will have more in common with the special fifth case from the first Phoenix Wright game, which was added for the DS port. This game won't star the fan favorite spikey-haired lawyer, instead (as the title implies) introducing a new character with an even more ridiculous name.

Maybe I should start buying them as I haven't played any :oops:

It hasn't been a top priority for me despite multiple recommendations.

This is sweet but did anyone actually play PW3 other than me? No one is talking about it at all. gaminggeek

I thought the third PW was great! They did a good job in ending the series well, especially the last case. It made me sad to see the cast go, but for what I played, it was definitely worth giving Phoenix Wright a try when it first came out.

Best experience I had in gaming, and I played em all!

Good to hear. I beat it on import a couple of months back, made a blog post about it.

Phoenix Wright 3 + Fire Emblem Path of Radiance

I preordered mine from Capcom to get that stupid little plush doll and they keep saying it is backordered (and haven't given me a date yet).

So no, I haven't played it yet :(

Anyways, I played through and beat PW3, and Aaron's review was pretty much on point in most all regards about the game, so I really don't have too much to say about it. :)

Well looking at VGCharts it didn't even make it into the list it's premier week. But again it IS VGCharts and we all know how unreliable they can be.

Didn't Trials & Tribulations just come out in the U.S.? Talk about a sequel pump.VMan

Am I the only one who sees Phoenix Wright becoming a modern Mega Man? This is the fourth sequel in 3 years.Video_Game_King

Good point. But still, the rate at which these sequels are coming out could mean we'll be seeing Super Phoenix Wright IV: The 3rd Strike of the Hyper Ace Attorney. I know, long name, but I think we all get the point.

good news!

To the OP - I AM THE ORIGINAL PHEONIX WRIGHT!

i have the plush doll too - :luv:

thing is 3 inches - :(

they sell on ebay for $20 though - if u guys didn't pre-order your trials and tribs

The only place where the series is getting an extremely high rate of actual sequel releases is the US. All that has been in Japan were GBA releases, then DS ports of those releases. We probably will see at least two more games in the series, but nothing to the extreme of either Mega Man or Street Fighter.

....I'll still remain wary on the subject.

I see. I'm assuming that new case you're referring to with the original is the one that is unlocked after the end credits. I guess that explains that added touchpad functionality with the dusting and the cool interactive camera feed video.
