Ironic or not ironic?

OBJECTION!

[lockwoodx]

I think that Fitbabits should reply to every post in this thread with "OBJECTION!"

[donkeydrop]

Take That !!!

[Sandman]

Capcom is cruel for making us beg for another Pheonix Wright game. Cruel I say!!!

[sickfallout]

I think they need to add in more voice acting, preferably outdated sayings.

"HAVE AT YOU!"

etc etc.

[mkelehan]

I already begged by dropping $30 on the sequel. Same way I begged for more games like Hotel Dusk.

[Your Good Twin]

Haha, they're having a contest for us to beg for it to be brought overseas? I'm sure that's sign enough that they're going to do it regardless of how this contest goes.

Even better is how if they're this pleased with sales of the first two (especially Justice for All now that it had a real chance to prove itself) games in the series, we're likely to get following games. 4 is the first to be made from the ground up for the DS, afterall. I'd love to see how they handle that. :D

I'd love to see how they handle that. :DAye. I want to play through 3 as I thoroughly loved 1 & 2.... 4 would rock.

If I'm not mistaken, 4 has a totally different cast, right? No more Phoenix Wright, etc.? I recall reading something about this back shortly after And Justice For All was announced as coming out for the DS.

Unless no one creates a comic, or clicks the link.

[Spigot]

Unless no one creates a comic, or clicks the link.Bah... the contest is only open to US residents.

Now, if they do #3 for the DS and do the same thing they did with And Justice For All (have a full english translation on the Japanese version), well, I won't really care if they bring #3 over here... though I doubt they'd do the english translation if they didn't plan on bringing it over.

[Deadend]

I think the odds on 3 and 4 coming stateside are extremely good right now, as they have the writers, and the translation staff handy. What I think would be kinda interesting would be for a PW game built for the DS, like Chapter 5, with polygons being tossed around.

...I have to confess my fanboy-ism is based on finally getting a DS again and I am close to finishing PW1.

Isn't that what PW 4 will be?

---

I must also echo the sentiment of "wtf? US residents only?!". I should have figured, considering that they charge like $100 to ship a game to Canada.

Or Ace Attorney 4: Operation Hold It!
