Ok before I begin; NO TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS SPOILERS PLEASE. I’m in Britain, we get everything late 

Right, now, onwards.

This isn’t just an ‘omg, I love this game’ post. Phoenix Wright (and Apollo Justice) has really helped me cope! I find social interaction very tiring, and this often means I need to sign off my computer, shut myself away and be alone for a while. This used to result in extreme boredom, to the point of tears.

Then, out of the mist, came Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice For All. I bought it to see what all the fuss was about, and within minutes of starting it I was in love. I’ve played Apollo Justice now, too, and I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of the original Phoenix Wright (that I naughtily skipped) to arrive in the post.

Not only has Phoenix Wright been such a boredom buster, it’s also improved my skills with plain old common sense, which I really struggled with before.

No more tears of boredom for me!

...Until they stop making them.

Wow, great !

I've read some very good reviews about this game but I haven't played it cause I rarely get the chance to use my DS, but starting september 15 I will start my new job, a little shop of my own, so I should have time to play the DS, in case I will definitely buy this game ! :wink:

Oh, and about Britain, don't cry too much, we get things even later ! :wink:

Well, needless to say I definitely recommend it :]

Ah, you're in Italy! Supposedly, we get video games at the same time; the reason Europe gets games so much later than everywhere else is the sheer number of translations they have to make and voices they have to record for each character. Still, what voices do we hear in Phoenix Wright? 'OBJECTION' and 'HOLD IT' shouldn't take too long to record, so I'm guessing it's just taking forever to translate the text box dialogue and item/profile descriptions.

I actually found out yesterday that the DS is region free and I've been waiting for no reason, but now I can't find anywhere I can buy the American version of Trials and Tribulations. Sad times.

I'm glad PW had a good impact on your life. :) I used to be really obsessed with those games (I own all 3 plus AJ). I'm thinking about playing them again.

By the way, who are your favorite characters?

Hm, well, I have to love Maya for her quirky ridiculousness, I'm a sucker for quirk. I think AJ has my favourites though. I love AJ era Phoenix Wright (they made him f***able, how was that even possible?), Klavier Gavin, Ema Skye.

I'm currently playing the first one, which I never played before. Oh, which reminds me; Miles Edgeworth is pretty awesome.

How about you?

http://www.play-asia.com sell the us version,but its out of stock at moment,am would have recommended play asia as they're reliable,quick to post,and very unlikely to get customs tax added on if are getting one game,it's the best major import site out there since lik-sang closed.

what about CEX [if have a store nearby],they used to stock import [dont know if still do].

ebay? or try asking on the NTSC-UK forum if anyone knows of a place with it in stock.

Thanks for the info! I'll have a look around. Have you any idea how long it's likely to be til play-asia have it back in stock?

it doesn't give a back in stock date but it does have a function thingy which will send an email as soon as they get any supplies in-if go to TATs page- http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-ba- ... -21b2.html there's a column along the side of it called personal agent for sorting out being emailed.

have just had a look on Amazon.com and it's in stock through their marketplace-quite a few available:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/ ... 23&sr=8-11
it may or may not get customs tax added on which is the only bad thing-as wont know until it gets to the door,but because they are private sellers selling through amazon,could try asking them to mark it down as 'gift' which escapes the tax.
