WiiWare: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Coming To The Wii

aceattourney.jpg

In today's gift from the German USK rating system it has revealed that the Phoenix Wright might be on its way to WiiWare.

If you're out of the loop, Phoenix Wright is a fantastic point and click adventure game that has previously been on the GBA and Nintendo DS. The German USK rating system now suggests that the original game is also coming to the Wii.

Last year in Japan the Phoenix Wright series was ported to the PC, so the assets in higher resolution are available. When a game appears on a rating system without a prior announcement it's usually a digital release, but this could still be some crazy retail release. The way the rating is written suggests it will also be the full game, and not in episodic chunks.

If this is WiiWare it'll be Capcom's first foray since Mega Man 9. We expect a complete announcement soon.

First Capcom game on WiiWare? What about Mega Man 9?

Hah, you're right, fixed for accuracy :)

Was the PC version actually in a higher resolution? I think it was just a straight GBA port there.

Thanks for the excellent news!

Love this game. Nice article!

It doesn't say it for the wiiware, it just says for the wii, no specifics

I HOPE THIS IS TRUE!!!!
I'm a BIIIIG fan of PW!
