Damn I'm in love with this game!

I just got it today and when i got started with it I ended up losing 4 hours of my night, I put it down and wondered why everyone was asleep. :crazy:

And that was only for the second chapter:D (well first if you dont count the tutorial case)

I wasnt even expecting to get this game over here untill january 06, I was deciding between Trauma Center and Lost Blue untill I spotted this at the end

So has anyone else got a chance to pick it up yet?

I'm in the middle of the game too. It's amazing fun! I just started the 4th case which is pretty damn hard so far but I'm just having a blast playing anyways. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this game to any adventure gamer. You'd be hard pressed to not enjoy this game... or at least enjoy Maya... she's too much fun. The characters, the ever-complexing storyline, and just the fun of shouting 'OBJECTION!' all the time make this a must buy.

Pick up Trace Memory while your at it too! Awsome!

The Nintendo DS rocks! I applaud Nintendo creating features that enhance game (like the stylus) as opposed to the other handheld which seam to be more content on going for features that enhance non-gaming use (like playing movies and mp3s?!?:crazy: ). Make a great system for games and games only, not a mediocere system for games, movies, and other crap. I'm excited for the Nintendo Revolution now too.

To people who are playing this game and owning it, i would like to know :

is this game heavy on evidences to find ?

Is this a pure murder mystery ?

Cause that s what i m enjoying the most on adventure games, looking for clues, evidences and talking to other characters :)

If so then I ll consider buying a DS :)

Its kinda like that....what you have to do is investigate the crime your victim has been acused of to find ammunition you can use in court, this acts as your inventory.

Outside of court its mostly Conversation based puzzles when you have to seek out new suspects and witneses to help find out the truth, then it moves on to the Witnesses testimony in court which stops after each sentence, here you have the choise to dig deeper into it hoping the witness slips up and contradicts themselfs or use one of the peices of evidence from your Court record(inventory) to object to that part of their testomony pointing out the contradiction yourself. This normaly results in a new testimony or and edit of the current testimony.


Is this a pure murder mystery ?

Cause that s what i m enjoying the most on adventure games, looking for clues, evidences and talking to other characters :)

I think theres 5 episodes that are mysterys on their own.
The first 2 show you who done it, kinda the way columbo does. where as the third one leaves you in the dark....and the 4th one..well I just started that and im not gonna say anything about that :P


What I', liking most about this game is that you're normaly not stuck on a puzzle for too long as in court the answer can be nowhere else but in your inventory, but theres no trial or error as too many give you game over. It really gets you thinking :D

Easily the best game for the DS. I've had to pace myself in it because I don't want to beat it too quickly. Not really a whole lot of replay value, but great fun while it lasts. I love the anime style art and the humor is terrific. One of the best games I've played in awhile.

As for the DS itself, I have to say most games don't make very good use of the stylus or its features and there really aren't all that many good games for it in general. I think I own all of the decent games. I have to disagree with the statement about other handhelds though. The PSP is selling way more than the DS and is an awesome little gadget. The screen is beautiful and it functions great as a gaming machine. Plus it has tons of other features that it does quite well actually. Nintendo has held the handheld gaming market for decades, but it looks like Sony is going to start edging them out with the PSP. It has sold volumes more than the DS.

Actually, the DS sells way more than the PSP. I mean WAY MORE.

In Japan the DS has sold 3.2 M vs PSP selling only 1.7M

http://www.w2forum.com/item/updated_nintendo_ds_sony_psp_sales_numbers
Worldwide also DS has sold way more. 6M vs 2.7M a big difference. Oh, PSP isn't available in Europe. Too bad. It's their problem.

Ergo. PSP sells less. Way Less. So I have no idea where you get this volumes more idea, since it's the other way around.

DS has Phoenix Wright, Castlevania, Nintendogs, Advance Wars and Meteos. All amazing games. I now usually play much more DS than other systems...

Not that i'm bashing the DS in any way but the PSP IS AVAILABLE IN EUROPE and in the UK has become the fastest selling handheld of all time selling double what the DS did at launch.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4218320.stm

and Sony announced they have sold 10 million units.

3 million in Japan/Asia
4.47 million in North America
2.53 million in Europe

Compared to the DS sales figure of 6 million sold worldwide.

Where do you get this 10 Million figure? I haven't found it anywhere. I'm pretty sure there would've been a big article if so. I'm positive the DS is selling much more. Plus the 3M in Japan is wrong. I have the very latest figures from japan at least.

http://www.joystiq.com/entry/1234000837063581/
This article was released OCTOBER 14th! Yea, I highly doubt that to be wrong.

Ok, your North America figure is wrong as well
http://www.tgdaily.com/2005/10/20/sony_psp_sales_doubling_for_holiday/
This is also an article released recently.

So even assuming your Europe figures are right (which I highly doubt since the US sales are usually higher than Europe sales) then the PSP has sold
2.3 + 1.7 + 2.5 = 6.5 which is not 10M

I know you aren't bashing the DS, but I've always known that the DS is selling way more than the PSP...or at the least around the PSP count.

It's 10 million "Shipped" not sold, but technically it's sold to retailers so Sony has the money.

P.s The figures about read 2.3+ 4.7+ 2.5 which does equal 10 mill

AFAIK, sell-in numbers don't really count, it's the sell-through numbers that matter. While "Sony has the money" as you say, they don't keep it if retailers return a significant amount of unsold product if there's too many in the channel.

My bad. I didn't have any actual data to go on. I had read an article at one point though that indicated the the DS was not selling as well as the PSP. Of course, that was probably just talking about the US. I stupidly didn't even consider Japan where I'm not surprised the DS is selling way more. I'll bet Nintendogs is huge over there.

But still, I think as far as the future goes, the PSP will win out in terms of volume sold. I simply think it is a better machine overall and more capable. Of course, I currently own the DS and not the PSP, but thats because as an adventure game lover, there isn't a whole lot for the PSP that I'm all that interested in playing. Where as I currently own like 7 games for the DS. This Christmas though I'll probably pick up a PSP and GTA LCS. :P

Hey people this thread should remain about this great adventure game from Capcom not about PSP VS DS :)

Anyway to end the debate on the market console (hey I should start a specific thread about it on the "general" part of this board) I do think the DS is more exciting since it s a more "creative" and well thought machine .

The games are so much innovative and exciting than on the PSP which is basically a smaller version of the PS2 .

Anyway I think i m gonna start this thread PSP VS DS there should be interesting if it s not ending on a bashing one (sony vs nintendo and people saying how great their fave company/machine is :frusty: )

This is probably going to be my adventure game of the year (only Dreamfall might top it, but it's going to be difficult).

Indigo Prophecy was great. Myst V was (in my opinion) a suitable way to end a series. Still Life had its moments. But out of all of them, only Phoenix Wright kept a smile plastered to my face through the entire thing. It's pure charm, and the presentation is absolutely fantastic. I'm not sure I'd recommend buying a DS just for this (though it would have been enough to convince me had I not already owned one, and there are other fantastic games), but if the next entry gets translated as well, I'd say all adventure fans would owe it to themselves at that point.

Highly, highly recommended.

I really hope they translate the second and third GBA games, and release them in an updated form like in this release.

Am I the only one who wants to see Snatcher released on the DS? It would be perfect for the platform, like this game shows.

It would be good if they bring the 2nd and 3rd over...but its doesnt look good.

I think the only reason the first was ported was to give a look at what the 4th game would be like, which is the bonus chapter 5.

but then again, i think theres been a pheonix wright 2 announced and that couldnt be the 4th game as it doesnt star pheonix

Ive been wondering about the 3rd game though, ive heard it only has 1 case and a tutorial case, but neither of them have you leaveing the court room.

The game that was supposedly announced (listed in websites like IGN as Phoenix Wright 2) is the new DS game, the 4th in the series.

As for the third game I don't know where you heard that, but the FAQS I've seen of the game list 5 episodes, and the game has detective and courtroom phases.

The interesting thing about the other two games is that you apparently "control" other characters, and one of them (I believe it's the 3rd game) is mostly a prequel to the first game.

The second game is a direct sequel to the first so you still play pheonix, the third game has you playing mia in the tutorial phase wich is a prequal of how mia and pheonix met (your apparently defending pheonix) but has you move on to pheonix again after the tutorial

as for hearing about it only having 2 episodes it was some sort of review on insert credit...but the guy kinda trailed off into his personal life in the end so im probably mistaken :shifty:

Heh, was it a Tim Rogers review? If so... well, they're fun to read but I wouldn't actually rely on them for solid information.

I'm glad the sequels also star Phoenix, though. He's probably the most dry character in the game, but that's more of a compliment to everyone else than a knock on him. This really has some of the most entertaining characters I've seen in a game in a while. Especially Dick Gumshoe, and Larry. Hell, I even liked Edgeworth by the end.

Does anybody know how well this has done? Capcom did take a bit of a risk in translating this, but if it had any success at all they'll milk it for all it's worth from now on. Which I wouldn't mind.

and Phoenix is dry cause hes supposed to be the sane(est) one amongst the whole crazy cast

"Too bad we didnt bring missile aswell, then atlest we would have some bait"

And even if Pheonix isnt that big a success I doubt that will stop capcom, hell look at Viewtiful Joe, it got a sequel and a re-release on the ps2, even in the UK.

And a Viewtiful Joe anime series.

As much as I liked PW through the first mission, it was the beginning of the second one that really got me. It was a hell of a way to really kick off the game proper, and showed that it was going to be much more than just a string of cases. I loved how everything came together in the end (well, before case 5 which is really just a large epilogue).

I know Tim wrote a review for one of the games at IC (I think it was part 3), but it was almost entirely about some woman he was teaching english in Japan. He only talked about the game in the last paragraph. It was pointless, even for Tim.

and then theres reprograming it to use the DS GUI and so on, unless they just release them for the GBA over here too

I just finished this game tonight and figured I'd post my own two bits in this thread. Phoenix Wright is one of the best new games I've played this year, and blew away most adventure games. Yeah, it's linear. Yeah, the trial system they use is absolute nonsense with rules thrown out just to increase the drama. But who cares?

Phoenix Wright has some of the best writing, game-wise, I've seen in ages. The characterization is great and the cases are excellent. Case #3 in particular has some real twists that threw me for a loop. Case #4 brings the original game to a fitting conclusion and #5 is a fantastically twisty number that really adds some neat new investigative tools.

Well, well worth the time and effort. It's worth noting that while the game hasn't sold excessively well, there is a rumor that Capcom had a very limited run of the title done, so they'll hopefully go by percentage of that sold rather than traditional sales figures as it would be a crying shame to have such a promising series end up with just a single English entry.

XiaNaphryz

From what I understand, only game specialty stores were selling Phoenix Wright (EB, Gamestop, etc), so if it wasn't available in the bigger stores like TRU, Target, Walmart, etc that could explain the low sale numbers. For all we know, the game may have sold well proportionally to how many were available overall!

On a related note, I found this old TGS trailer (http://www3.capcom.co.jp/saiban3/img/gyakutenTGS.zip) from the Gyakuten Saiban 3 website (http://www3.capcom.co.jp/saiban3/). Looks like a compilation trailer covering the first 3 games. Come on Capcom, give us more! :D

I take it you didn't like it them. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I haven't even played it. It was supposed to be a dig at my own ability to give every game ever a low score :).

Well, it just says the graphics might potentially alienate some, which they probably would considering the standard adventure gamer. It's not a con so much as something to be aware of.

That said, I'd rather look at anime graphics than the creepy, waxy, robotic prerendered characters we get these days in adventure games. :D (http://www.adventuregamers.com/screenshot.php?id=4370&article=584 is the picture I had in mind... eep)

Its a pretty toned down anime style though, well the characters atleast. :D


I always though the standard adventure gamer was mor like "Graphic mean nothing its the story and puzzles that matter" type of gamer :P

A good score for a apparently good game. I really need buy it next year.
My 2005 game budget has already gone way over. :D

Hope this date is for real...

Edit: You're right. I was looking in other places for a date. March is probably the one.

Listen to the man.

Also the US boxes are better, I don't get it why the european DS boxes are so thick compared to the US boxes. Also black > transparent boxes. :P

No, I wish I did. I would actually try to work on that translation team for Gyakuten Saiban 3. Someone made a Korean patch for the game so I played it in Korean. Which is why I never played Gyakuten Saiban 3 ;(

Great that Phoenix Wright got a 4.5. It deserves it. (It would be what I would rate it.)

This game is awesome. Simple as that.

Now, with that out of the way, does anyone know if there are going to be any sequel(s) that are slated/in development/going to be released to the the countries of the world that are not Japan? I want more. :frown:

Well there already is 2 sequels for PW since its a port from the GBA, just not been any english versions.

The PW 2 youve heard of is most likely the 4th game in the series, but it wont be called PW since it stars someone else
