There's a nasty rumor going around that Capcom's hilarious text-based courtroom adventure, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, has been discontinued. This comes as a bit of a surprise, as the game was well received by critics and has enjoyed excellent word of mouth. It's still just a rumor, but our own in-depth investigation (we browsed the internet a bit) has turned up some grim evidence.Exhibit A: The game is no longer available at EBgames.com.
Exhibit B: At Gamestop, it's "back ordered".
Exhibit C: Phoenix Wright is mysteriously absent from the DS page at Capcom's online store.
Exhibit D: The one-legged, one-eyed homeless man heard from a friend's sister-in-law's psychic aunt that this was going to happen. He gladly exchanged this information with us in return for a half-eaten Oreo.
Do you OBJECT! to these claims of a Phoenix Wright scarcity? If so, give us some details on where you've seen hundreds of copies lining the shelves. If not, let us know if you've had trouble finding the game in your area.
1. I bought it when it came out and had a hard enough time then. Now your best off going to Game Crazy or Ebgames for it used.
PS This game rocks and has an awesome story line
