Phoenix Wright Series

[Mad Hatteress Belial]

Quite awhile my favorite handheld game ever was released for the DS; Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and I was hooked, but sad to learn it's a fairly lengthy series already in Japan. Luckily, next year they're releasing a new game which is going to take place seven years after the previous one, called Phoenix Wright: Justice For All.

These games are completely texed based and require you to use your brains instead of reflexes as you take on court cases and, although it sounds that way, isn't boring at all; some of the banter is really quite funny. I was just curious if there are any other fans on here, or maybe spark some interest for people to try out this game, although it's bearly impossible to find now.

HOLD IT! This thread can't be dead, PW is too awesome for that!

Hi, my name is Jen, and I'm a huge PW fangirl now. >.> I finally got my hands on the first game, blew through it in a week, and am waiting on my import copy of the second game to get to me. (Not so patiently, as Starscream will attest.)

There's a few things that need a little correction from the first post, though: It's the 4th game in the series that takes place 7 years after the third game. Gyakuten Saiban 4 has a new protagonist, Odoroki Housuke. That hasn't been released yet in Japan - it's due out in January.

Justice for All is the true second game in the series, and it takes place a year after case 4 of the first game. Most of the major characters come back in the sequel or at least make cameos, but there's a new main prosecutor. Her story's behind the spoiler tags.
