Harvey Birdman Coming to the Wii

[Dr.Finger]

Harvey Birdman, of the late, lamented Adult Swim cartoon, will be hitting the Wii in addition to the previously announced PS2 and PSP versions of the game.

The game, apparently very closely inspired by Capcom's Phoenix Wright series, will ship November 13th, with the PS2 and PSP versions setting you back $30 and the Wii version costing $40, although reports indicate that the Wii version will not have any added content.

Thanks to Next-Gen (http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7042&Itemid=53)

Why are they only rolling out Adult Swim video games now, instead of two or three years ago?

[Doctor Setebos]

Shame on you for not providing a link (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/09/04/harvey-birdman-gets-on-wiis-case-nov-13/)!

I would think you reds would know better. ;)

[Squidbot]

Who cares? I still want it, late or not!

[flinxz]

Yes please.

[Darkbase]

I'd hit it :D

[walkstheplanes]

In his pants...

[mightbe]

More like "Attorney at Lawl".

Amirite?

[SBKidJamX]

I'll take the case!

[The Great Gatsby]

No added content for the Wii and 10 bucks more?? Cue cheap ass complainers?

[superbo3]

so happy to see this hitting the wii now i only have to pray it comes to europe..... a must buy!

[Atepsflame]

HaHaaaa. Overpriced next gen ports.


Mmm, I'm excited for this. The last episode of HB:AaL was a bittersweet moment for me, and this should be a nice pick me up.

Yeah. Spoilers: It's sad he's gone forever, but I am comforted in knowing he died at the top of his game.

[Evil Avnovice]

Strange that a DS version wasn't announced....

[LongStepMantis]

BACK OFF!...
I'll make you FUN SIZE!

I can't wait to see how this turns out. Mind-taking! Owwweeeeooowwwwooooo!

[SunTzu]

I hope Stephen Colbert will be doing the voice for Phil Ken Seben in the game, assuming he's in there at all.

"Hey lady, how about a yank? HA HA, Dislocation..."

[The Continental]

The Phil Ken Sebben "Ha Ha!" is pretty common place in our home. If this game manages to get even a fraction of the talent on board for the show to voice it, I might have to rent it.

[JimmyDanger]

And here I was thinking I'd have to buy it to play on old tech.

Hang on a minute...

(Still - They've got a sale from me)

[B_Money]

Did you get that thing I sent you?

[Major Scud]

darn, it beaten to the quote! I pre-ordered the PSP version for portability.

[Zinmezz]

I'd honestly rather get a port of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force game to the Wii.

But it looks like that game is staying on the PS2. Haven't seen any announcement of another platform.

considering how hilarious the first and second seasons are and how much I love them...why the fuck don't I have them on DVD?

[Skyelan]

I read an official description of this. It's basically Phoenix Wright, down to every small detail. Except it goes for full marks in the humor side without getting sidetracked by drama (Not that it's bad, I've been very outspoken on my love of Wright Drama)... And it's Harvey Birdman. This is a definite buy for me, ESPECIALLY since I am 100% sure the Phoenix Wright translators will be doing the dialogue. I don't even give a shit which system I get it on, I just want it.

[TheFlyingOrc]

I am amazed that someone is ripping off Phoenix Wright. I am overjoyed that it is Birdman.

[Skyelan]

I am amazed that someone is ripping off Phoenix Wright.

You mean in the same way Nintendo ripped off Zelda with StarTropics? :p

[TheFlyingOrc]

You mean in the same way Nintendo ripped off Zelda with StarTropics? :p
I'm not mad. I think this is the only way that a company could make a Phoenix Wright that is NOT Phoenix Wright and not get slammed for "just copying"

[Skyelan]

I'm not mad. I think this is the only way that a company could make a Phoenix Wright that is NOT Phoenix Wright and not get slammed for "just copying"

No no, I'm not claiming you're mad. I'm simply mocking you and hoping that it isn't because you missed the fact that both Phoenix Wright and this are made by the same company, in which case I'd have to mock you even harder. That's just the rules, I don't make them. I just follow 'em. ;)

I used StarTropics Vs Zelda in that I'm near positive Birdman would be handled entirely by the US division, much like StarTropics was one of the few games to be done entirely by Nintendo of America.

But luckily, I think it's more that you have an odd habbit of using the term 'Ripoff' in a way that could apply to one entity copying its own idea into a new format, right?

...Right?

[TheFlyingOrc]

No, YOUR face is dumb.

I got that after your first post, but I think the public would still crucify a Phoenix Wright styled game that wasn't Phoenix Wright, even if the same company made it.

But not Birdman.

[Ultima Thulian]

This game is gonna fucking own.

[Skyelan]

No, YOUR face is dumb.

But not Birdman.

Alrighty then, I see where you're coming from, and I agree for that matter. I've seen some gamers make more absurd connections than this very often, so I would not be surprised at such a reaction. :D

I just need to run the procedural fun-poking based on policy, unless I wanna get demoted to 'Lower Wise-ass' by the higher ups.

This thread may now continue upon it's planned route. Move along, nothing to see here!

[Ultima Thulian]

Objection!!!.

[Skyelan]

Objection!!!.

Oh goddamn you. You made me imagine Birdman dramatically finger pointing and shouting that glorious word.

Now I need to change my pants.

[boratika]

Hahaa! Multiple entendre.

[Chameleo]

i've been watching birdman all week and i can't think of one quote that hasn't been named in this thread...!!! >_<

i'm so stoked for this, i LOVE birdman!!!!

[Gorvi]

Sweet, I'll have the PSP version of this one day one. I need my portable law sim fix. And, that thing.....

[Dukefrukem]

Suns don't kill people. People with suns kill people.

It'd be my pleasure, MR PRESIDENT.

Put it way Birdman. Though I do like the little hat. Tre chic.

And so forth.

Now I need to change my pants.

I just imagined myself dramatically finger-pointing! (At the TV holding a Wii Remote, while Harvey Birdman does it on the screen!)

My boyfriend is going to snatch this up so quickly. Srsly.
