Phoenix Wright judged appropriate for WiiWare re-release in Japan

by JC Fletcher on Nov 17th 2009 10:05PM

The latest issue of Famitsu confirms what a USK rating hinted: Phoenix Wright is coming to WiiWare. Capcom is porting the DS games (or, if you'd rather, the Game Boy Advance games) to Wii one at a time, to be released in Japan starting December 15. Judging from what we can see (which isn't much -- portions of cell phone images of screenshots), the graphics aren't enhanced for Wii at all.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney will be available in Japan on December 15 for 900 Wii Points, with the two Phoenix Wright sequels following on January 26 and February 23 for 1200 Wii Points each. The original case added to the DS version of the first Ace Attorney will be out on March 16 for 300 Points.

And now begin the process of reminding ourselves that we've already played all of this content, and just because it's being released again in a different format doesn't mean we have to buy it again. The fact that no announcements have been made about a North American release should help.

I'm sure it'll make its way here eventually, no matter what Capcom says (see: Resident Evil Archives).

The price is cheap, and good for those who have yet to play the games.

Plus with the new WiiWare demo service, this would be a great opportunity for Capcom to bring new people into the Ace Attorney series

it's more or less a win-win for Capcom if you ask me and i hope it does get released in the states

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I had gotten all excited thinking it was a new game! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

If this is the first step to a new Phoenix Wright game on the Wii, count me in. I'd rather play some new Phoenix on the DS, though.

Bottom line is... I NEED MOAR PHOENIX.

I wonder if you could still shout "objection!" (or its japanese equivalent)...

Nice, I bet this one does pretty well on the big screen. Oh, and Capcom, while you're at it, how about a Megaman Zero remake collection (I'm thinking of the whole series as one Download with some sort of achievements and extras to unlock) for Wii Ware?

I can already picture myself, pointing the wii remote towards the TV and yelling:

"OBJECTION!!!"

I'm definetly okay with this as I can't find a copy of Trials and Tribulations anywhere. And the price is certainly a plus there too! Though I'm gonna miss yelling "OBJECTION"...*gasp* unless there is wiispeak compatibility...that would be pretty sweet...except anyone would probably yell it out and totally screw you over...:-/

Hopefully though this means they may be considering new content for the wii. Hope the graphics don't look like a gameboy player too and they get at least a 480p overhaul.

Woops. didn't catch the "aren't enhanced for Wii at all" bit. That sucks. Oh well, still gettin the 3rd game there.

Have you always wanted to be a lawyer, but you never dared to race right? Well here's your chance to enjoy the wildest trials and double-screen fun, hand of counsel Phoenix Wright. See a nice video here - http://www.techarena.in/video/21484-phoenix-wright-first-video-trailer.htm
