The Phoenix Wright Tribute Thread

[thrawn42]

Alright. I'll admit that I've owned Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney since it was released and hadn't pushed through the second case. As the hardcore adventure gamer I consider myself to be, how could this be? Well I just got busy with other games and it fell the wayside.

That is until about 3 weeks ago...

I've been pushing through this game case by case since then while I do other things like game away on my Wii and PC and tend to real life.

I'm up to case 5 and now fully realize how great Phoenix Wright truly is as a game itself and for the DS platform. Just for originality I think I'd have to place it in my adventure game top 10 (and that's a lot of titles to choose from). The game is funny, innovative, and quite charming. Even with its linearity it can give up a bit of a challenge.

So to the point of this thread. Post your Phoenix Wright homages and memories here. News or reviews on the original game? The recently ported sequel, Justice For All? The upcoming Phoenix Wright 3? And believe it or not, the upcoming Phoenix Wright 4? Favorite characters? GBA vs DS versions? Phoenix Wright schwag? Post it all here.

This game truly deserves some respect and I aims to give it to it.

So here's to Phoenix Wright and his creators.

HOLD IT!

I only played Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney a couple of times while holding my brother's DS for him, but I enjoyed playing through it. It was too easy though and I blew through the entire game in about a two-hour span.

OBJECTION!

The evidence clearly contradicts the testimony!

OK, so I only got through the first couple of cases before having returning the DS to my brother. I only wish a version would be released for the Gameboy Advance since I don't own a DS. To anyone who looks past this game simply because it doesn't appear to be in your niche, give it a shot. You'll be surprised.

If you feel like dealing with imports and translations then "Gyakuten Saiban" 1-3 are available for the GBA. Not sure how difficult they'll be to find though.

Ace Attorney update: Part 5 is in the works.

Part 3 isn't even stateside yet and the full fledged DS version that is Part 4 doesn't even feature Phoenix Wright as the main character. I call shenanigans!!!!!!!!!1111

As for me, I may get to 'Justice for All' one of these days...

Prepare yourself for vastly inferior music when you start the second game...

Damn it. The music of the first was catchy, if repetitive.
