I love them! They're not really a game so much though, more like a novel that makes you think. For anybody who's never played them, you play a defense lawyer and have to investigate cases and things like that. In court, you have to think carefully and present the right evidence. The dialogue and stories are excellent. Most people have never heard of it though.

I have seen a few fan comic things that people have done, I have seen the game but never played it. It looks interesting, one of those brilliant ideas from Nintendo that is underapreciated.

I've played several of them. Fun games. :)

Though sometimes the logic of the game clashes with my own logic. Such as i know where a contradiction is but the game won't let you point it out... yet.

(I actually started playing the games cause i liked the Phoenix Wrong videos... :oops: )

Aaaaaaah! I was SO obsessed with those games a few months ago! :D

My favorite characters were Max Galactica and Ron DeLite.

am dont think it is as rare as usually thought,sister is one of the most ignorant very casual gamers around and she's heard of the Ace Attorney/phoenix wright games,she is a ds owner though refuses to give any of the series a try.

have heard they released them in the wrong order over here due to delays,typical nintendo treatment of europe.

I've played through the Phoenix Wright games. I'll try the Apollo Justice one after it drops in price.


IMO, the second, and especially the third game felt too short.

I love these games. :] Although it annoys me that I've played Apollo Justice, but not the third Phoenix Wright game (haven't found it in the stores).

Yes, same for me. Are you in Europe? In Europe the third game hasn't come out yet, for some reason, but the fourth one has. I have the fourth one but not the third, so I don't want to play it for fear of getting spoilers :)

I was just sad when during Apolo justice it came out that Phoenix wright was a piano player longer than he was a lawyer. (He lost his badge and after that began playing piano )

SilverPikmin: That would explain it. =/

Oh yeah... It's a bit difficult thinking of Hobo!Phoenix as the same person as Lawyer!Phoenix.

This is kind of off in left-field, but I always imagine Johnny Yong Bosch doing the voice of lawyer!Phoenix and Kevin Bacon doing the voice of hobo!Phoenix.

I heard they aren't releasing the 3rd Phoenix Wright game in Europe at all, but I don't know why. Coz they're Nintendo and they hate us, I suppose. *shrug*

I didn't bother buyin the second Phoenix Wright game because I knew it would irritate me even more that there's no release for the 3rd, but I bought Apollo Justice. I'm half way through the third episode, but I don't find Apollo as engaging a character/game, so I'm playing it more in bursts...it doesn't hold my attention for as long.
