Please tell me Birdman for the Wii is only $40, then I'd totally buy it.

LaughingTarget @ Jan 7th 2008 9:04AM

You're in luck then, it's only $40.

I definitely just heard the MGS alert noise in my head after that post, tuna. Thank you ;)

FOXHOUND @ Jan 7th 2008 1:28PM

"...what was that noise?"

Anyway, I'll probably get the Wii or PSP version. :d Can't wait to see all the hidden Capcom characters(such as Guile).

@vidguy

Yubastard @ Jan 7th 2008 8:43AM

"I'll take the case!"

ThornedVenom @ Jan 7th 2008 8:46AM

OBJECTION!

Mighty Shockwave @ Jan 7th 2008 9:17PM

Two can play at this game...

OBJECTION!!

Two explanation points. Beat that.

ThornedVenom @ Jan 8th 2008 2:02AM

OBJECTION!!

I just beat you with two EXCLAMATION points.

Nudgenudge @ Jan 7th 2008 8:58AM

There isn't an attorney in this universe who can beat Phoenix Wright. Even if spandex is involved.

Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Jan 7th 2008 9:21AM

Isn't harvey birdman basically a reskin and rewrite of phoenix wright anyway?

FidliousWong @ Jan 7th 2008 9:22AM

*wonders if nudgenudge noticed who made this Harvey Birdman game*

Besides, the problem with Phoenix is he's a dirty thief. He took Edgeworths $38.00 as a child.

Nudgenudge @ Jan 7th 2008 9:39AM

Yes, I know this is Capcom, and that it's basically the same game, and I'm gonna get it. I was just joking about the new attorney of the "series".

And FidliousWong, it wasn't him. It was his friend, Larry Butz.
TAKE THAT! *slams my desk*

paragraph @ Jan 7th 2008 10:51AM

If it is a re-skin, there better be obvious nods to it that are funny and both in-line with the story of HBAaL

But Seriously

!!OBJECTION!!

**slams desk**

This game clearly contridicts the... uh... statement that... no? really?

Mainman @ Jan 7th 2008 7:54PM

*Shakes head*

I'm sorry, Mr Paragraph, but I must penalize you for wasting this court's time.

Batzarro @ Jan 7th 2008 9:25AM

Why this game gets such a cool cover, anyway? I mean, I'm kinda partial to the show, but, damn!

StrangeBum @ Jan 7th 2008 9:53AM

Nothing can portray the utter ridiculousness and frivolous attitude of the show better for it's video game counterpart than a ridiculously serious looking game cover.

By the way, did you get that thing I sent you?

Geist @ Jan 7th 2008 11:34AM

I think the bear really pulls it together

Batzarro @ Jan 7th 2008 9:28AM

riggs @ Jan 7th 2008 10:38AM

because of your double post huzzah!

Batzarro @ Jan 7th 2008 12:28PM

Wah! STUPID POSTING SYSTEM!

doom saber @ Jan 7th 2008 10:08AM

OBJECTION! *Wonders if NudgeNudge and Fidlious Wong REALLY knows who made this game*

TAKE THAT!

It is actually made by High Voltage, a company who is known to make license games like Family Guy, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude. High Voltage games are ho hum most of the time. Capcom only produced this game.

Kn1ves @ Jan 7th 2008 10:26AM

Did you get the uhh thing I sent ya?

riggs @ Jan 7th 2008 10:39AM

why is stephen colbert not in this game? :(

deaftly @ Jan 7th 2008 10:59AM

being a huge fan of the show i'll def be getting this for the wii

Ibere @ Jan 7th 2008 11:39AM

HOLD IT!

Why is this game not being launched to the DS, as it's based in a game originally launched for it?

LaughingTarget @ Jan 7th 2008 11:42AM

Ha ha, hold it. Double entendre!

BPM64 - The Second Attack! @ Jan 7th 2008 12:43PM

Because the DS couldn't handle all the animation and voice clips in the game. Probably too much data for a 128MB Game Card, or even a 256MB one.

Mainman @ Jan 7th 2008 8:02PM

OBJECTION!

*Slams desk, points angrily at BPM*

Whats with all the double posts in this story?

Joe @ Jan 8th 2008 12:36AM

It's because of all the n00bs.

played the demo at ComicCon. while it obviously holds some simularities to our esteemed colleague Phoenix Wright, its a different game. well, as different as a collect-investigate-and-present-evidence-in-court game can be.

its HBAAL for chrissake and its funny. no replay value or difficulty whatsoever, just an interactive episode (or three)
