Capcom's Ace Attorney Becomes iPhonex Wright

The evidence couldn't be more clear: Capcom has ported Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney to Apple's iPhone for an obscenely low price.

It seems that Capcom is trying to get Shuu Takumi's excellent Ace Attorney games onto as many platforms as possible: First, the Phoenix Wright trilogy reports Videogamer [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/96210-Phoenix-Wright-Objects-His-Way-Onto-WiiWare].

Given that the games were developed for the Nintendo DS (well, they were originally GBA games that were given DS functionality), the point-and-touch gameplay does seem like a perfect fit for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Best of all, I don't think anyone out there will have any objections to the price: The full, feature-complete first game will only ring you £2.99/$4.99 [http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/phoenix-wright/id372166015?mt=8]. Yes, you heard that right - you can get one of the most highly-acclaimed games on the DS for under five bucks. That's one hell of a steal, especially considering I've bought PW:AA [http://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-Wright-3a-Ace-Attorney-Nintendo-DS/dp/B000B69E96/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1276637565&sr=8-1] at least three times at full price.

No word on if Capcom will be porting Apollo Justice [http://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-Wright-Ace-Attorney-Nintendo-DS/dp/B000JLL3UQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1276637609&sr=1-1], though.

But don't just take it from me. Have Phoenix tell you himself [http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=3928417].

[Deofuta]

5 DOLLARS!?!?!?!?

WOAH, WHAT A LOW PRICE!


Sweet, perfect game for my Ipod Touch, what a steal indeed.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Capcom never ceases to make me happy.

I'll get it when I get my next iTunes cards, which will be in like a week at least.

 

[Jared]

Now thats epic awesome!!!! I want it!!!

 

[Hiphophippo]

I followed your link Mr. Funk. I'm jut going to let that music play for awhile.

 

[Brad Shepard]

>< and i just bought the first two for 25 bucks... way to screw me over capcom, but its awesome all the same.

 

[bjj hero]

This is the sort of game that the touch was made for, no fiddly controls just pure genius and enjoyment. If I had one (I've got the nano) I'd get it.

I have it for the DS. I won't be buying any of the sequels though knowing how cheap they can produce it for.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Now i want an iPhone.

I actually hope that Nintendo releases a PW Trilogy on the DS or puts the games on the DSi-Ware.

 

[Tom Phoenix]

Oh, great. They are willing to port Phoenix Wright onto the Wii and iPhone, but they are not willing to release the PC version outside of Japan.
-_-

Hey, Capcom! What is the point of keeping the PC version exclusive to a country with one of the weakest PC gaming markets in the world? Release that thing in Europe and North America too!

 

[Thaius]

That's awesome.

And mad props for the Objection message. That's pure awesome.

 

[Lvl 64 Klutz]

And yet they'll be keeping it $10 on the Wii? Um... why?

HOT DIGGITY DOG, THAT'S A LOW PRICE! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUBUxv4VsTw&feature=related]

Now if only I had an Ipod Touch.

So, Phoenix Wright on the iPhone, huh? Combined with all the other games worth owning on the iPhone, that puts the grand total of games worth owning to... One.

Sorry, but even the awesomeness of Phoenix Wright isn't going to make me run out and buy one of Apple's overpriced and overrated pieces of junk and then pay to keep it running with one of AT&T's overpriced phone plans. Or just the overpriced iPod Touch.

To anyone who already blew money on one, though, if you don't shell out the $5 for this awesome game, you need to have your head examined!

Never mind GTA Chinatown wars for 10$. Or Chaos Rings. Or Warpgate. Or Zenonia. Or Street Fighter 4, Real Racing, Mass Effect Galaxy, NOVA, Dungeon Hunter, hell even Inotia is fun.

Must not like games.

It's on WiiWare

Let's see. I have it on the DS and the Wii...IF I were to own an IPOD touch...I'd buy it.
