This slightly hokey Japanese trailer for the WiiWare ports of the Phoenix Wright games features an overexcited kid informing his easily shocked father that the series is now available on WiiWare — at which point they turn on the Wii and, essentially, watch more of the trailer that they are currently in.
The family also demonstrates the new Wiimote gestures for Phoenix’s exclamations: Igiari! (Objection!), Matta! (Hold it!) and Kurae! (Take that!) Seeing people perform the motions on video, it actually looks like much more fun than we anticipated. So much fun that we’ll be driven to play through the games again on Wii just to make fools of ourselves in a new way.

Like it has for past Ace Attorney games, Capcom has prepared a demo of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. This demo seems even more relevant than past offerings, since aspects of the game other than the names on the text windows have changed. This demo will give you the opportunity to examine Edgeworth’s office with the new point-and-click interface, connect evidence with the new “Logic” system, and become impatient with Detective Gumshoe.
It doesn’t take a brilliant deductive mind with excellent taste in cravats to puzzle out that this demo contains spoilers, since it reproduces the first scene in the game. However, we suspect that you won’t be able to resist, after almost two years of no Ace Attorney games.

A rating on Germany’s USK database suggests that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is being planned for Wii. “Objection!!”, you may say, thrilled to have the opportunity to work that in. “Didn’t Ace Attorney Investigations producer Motohide Eshiro already say that the series would remain on handhelds?”
While it’s true that future Ace Attorney games will probably be on handhelds, the series has already been ported to PC, proving that someone within Capcom — and not necessarily anyone involved with actually making the Ace Attorney games — has no issue with porting the existing titles, which is extremely likely to be what is happening here. And this is the same Capcom that said that Resident Evil 4 would be a GameCube exclusive.
Our guess would be an episodic WiiWare presentation of the first Phoenix Wright. Or a mistake in the rating description.

It’s not often we’re at a loss for words, but the potent combo of Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” Elite Beat Agents and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is too much for our feeble little brain to handle. The gameplay looks incredibly punishing and, quite frankly, we wouldn’t mind a few of Wright’s cases going down like this.
Instead of failing to describe this fan-made mash-up any better, we’re just going to direct you past the break, then into the comments section where you can heap on some praise of your own.
[Thanks LuigiHann!]

With Ace Attorney creator Shu Takumi directing and a look that evokes a futuristic Lupin the 3rd, Capcom’s new Ghost Trick has immediately attracted our attention. The concept, a mystery with shades of Time Hollow and D3’s The Saibanin, is equally gripping. The game stars a man named Sisal who has just been shot dead. Now a ghost with no memories, he attempts to solve his own murder and put together the details of his own life before his soul dissipates.
To carry out his investigation, Sisel can travel back and forth in time to see the events surrounding his death. He can also possess objects and use them to change history. Takumi told Famitsu (as translated by 1UP) that he came up with the idea for Ghost Trick during the production of Gyakuten Saiban 3 five years ago, in an effort to make “a new type of mystery, something different in style from Ace Attorney.” The style might be different, but the involvement of dead people’s spirits in murder cases is basically an Ace Attorney staple.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth producer Motohide Eshiro told us that there were no plans for the Ace Attorney series to migrate to other consoles. In an interview with Siliconera, he offered more reasoning for the DS loyalty.
“It’s not that we don’t like other hardware and that we don’t want to do it,” Eshiro said. “It’s just it was original made for handhelds, it was made to be played on the go, and also the interface we created the game, especially for Ace Attorney Investigations, uses the touch screen and we want people to interact with that. You can’t replicate that on Xbox Live. For us, the DS seems like the most natural fit.”
What has changed was the original plan for Investigations’ protagonist. Eshiro revealed that “scientific investigator” and Apollo Justice detective Ema Skye was intended for the role. “The director originally proposed to use Ema as the main character,” he said, “but according to the feedback we got from our fans it seems Edgeworth was the more popular character.” And thus we have a game with a “Logic System” instead of a “Snackoo-Eating System.”

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth will finally be legislating onto North American shelves in February of 2010, letting players take up the prosecuting side for the first time in the series. Luckily, you’ll still be able to shout OBJECTION! in Phoenix Wright fashion as much as you want.
Joystiq met up with game producer Motohide Eshiro at in Capcom’s booth at Comic-Con, which featured playable versions of the game and some very sweet swag. We asked him what else we can expect from the game, when we’ll be able to play as the judge, and what his thoughts were on all the crazy fans in San Diego. Read on for the full interview.
Update! Be sure and check out the photo at the end of the interview where Eshiro-san meets up with a cosplaying Miles Edgeworth at Comic-Con.
