No objection to more Phoenix Wright in Japan

Capcom has begun work on a new Japanese installment of the popular courtroom adventure series, Phoenix Wright (known as Gyakuten Saiban in Japan). The game will star a new ~~hero~~ lawyer, Housuke Odoroki, and, being specifically designed for DS, will feature a revamped stylus-friendly interface. This new Phoenix Wright title is not a remake of Gyakuten Saiban 3 (GBA).

Outside of Japan, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (a remake of GBA's Gyakuten Saiban) -- now in its third printing -- is a rare, cult classic and has prompted a sequel, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice for All (a remake of GBA's Gyakuten Saiban 2), which is scheduled for release early next year.

I ABJECT! ...well not really. Glad to see this series continue to grow.

I love it!

I couldn't get enough of the one that DID make it stateside. I can't wait for either one of these new (to me, anyway) ones.

And here's hoping that Gyakuten 4 works a lot like the last chapter in the DS version of 3. Should be a ton of fun! :3

If it's that rare Stateside, start importing it from the UK! We're overrun with the little buggers!

Seriously...I couldn't put the game down until I completed it. I played it for 3 days at every possible moment until completed.

It's been a LONG time since a game has been that interesting to me.

I have number 1 for the US DS. Im almost done with the last case. I cannot wait until Feb. for the translated version of Phoenix Wright 2.

Is Gyakuten Saiban: Mask Vision Murder Case the same as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice for All?

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorny - Gyakuten Saiban 1
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorny Justice for all - Gyakuten Saiban 2
Phoenix Wright: Unannounced but will probably get here sometime - Gyakuten Saiban 3
Gyakuten Saiban 4 - Doesn't have Phoenix Wright so they'll probably call it Laywer's Name: Ace Attorny

Another reprinting of Phoneix Wright Ace Attorney will occur in Mid-August. One website reported selling one hundred copies each day and had their allotment sell out in a week when they expected it to last them the month.
