CAPCOM® PRESENTS PHOENIX WRIGHT™: ACE ATTORNEY FOR NINTENDO DS™    


E3, LOS ANGELES -  May 18, 2005 — All rise! Capcom® today presented Phoenix Wright™: Ace Attorney for Nintendo DS™, the first in the popular court room battle series from Japan to be released in the US. While the series’ previous three entries appeared on the Game Boy® Advance system in Japan, this marks its debut on the Nintendo DS. Not everyone is innocent until proven guilty! Players star as a defense attorney, who must prove his seemingly guilty client’s innocence no matter how dire the circumstances may seem. The game presents twisting storylines and intriguing gameplay in a comical anime style. Players must collect evidence, weed through inconsistent testimonies, and overcome corrupt agendas to ensure that justice prevails. Capcom plans to release Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney across North America this fall.    


Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney includes the following features:  

  • Play from the first person perspective through five intriguing cases  
  • Two distinct gameplay segments:   - Investigation phase – survey crime scenes, interview witnesses and gather evidence that will be used in court   - Court phase – present findings from the investigation to support your case, listen to testimonies, examine witnesses, and determine what is fact from fiction so you can prove your client’s innocence  
  • Colorful cast of characters   - Phoenix Wright – the game’s main character who is an accomplished defense lawyer with a keen sense for discerning fact from truth   - Maya Fey – a bright young girl that aids Phoenix in his trials; she is learning to harness her psychic powers which will prove useful in a pinch   - Mia Fey – an ace attorney who taught Phoenix everything she knows about the courtroom and continues to support him as a mentor   - Miles Edgeworth – Phoenix’s arch rival, this slick prosecutor has never lost a case; his intense hatred for criminal behavior drives him to use any means to ensure a guilty verdict
