Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney has been rated T for Teen by the ESRB.
Players star as rookie defense attorney Apollo Justice as he visits crime scenes, questions key witnesses and collects vital evidence before stepping into the courtroom to prove his clients’ innocence. Facing Apollo across the courtroom is the highly talented and flamboyant prosecutor Klavier Gavin who, in addition to being a legal genius, is also lead singer with Gavinners, a highly successful rock band with a string of hits to their name.
He may be young and inexperienced but Apollo’s confident manner and passion, coupled with his unique ability to uncover witnesses’ lies by studying their body language, will prove invaluable assets in the courtroom as he pleads the case for the defense. Thankfully, Apollo is not alone and is aided both in and out of the courtroom by his assistant Trucy, a mysterious female magician. Apollo also receives invaluable advice from his mentor the ultra-cool Kristoph Gavin, elder brother of Klavier, whose perfect logic and natural instincts have won him numerous cases and the respect of his colleagues.

Yeah, I guess you're right. This is the 4th game. Gamestop should know that there's a demand for it now. Familyvideo.com it is!

Ironic, I just finished the title a few days ago.... it was better than the second game. (I need to pawn or return my extra copy though - Preordered in two places, b/c I don't trust Gamestop) I look forward to the full blown DS attempt.

Capcom's online store and distribution coordination is currently MESSED UP.
GameStop is more trustworthy.
Bill, send them an email to cancel your order. It's likely not even packaged yet. Just get it somewhere else.

Why would you preorder it in two places, why not just the one you trust?

Well, Gamestop had a preorder bonus. Normally, I just never preorder period, as most of the time there's no point. Most high demand games are always easy to come by. However, I've learned my lessen with low profile games such as Worms 2 on the DS and the Phoenix Wright games. I had such a bad experience trying to get the first one.
