The Siliconera team was kind enough to
point us towards this hilarious Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trailer and it would be a cruel injustice not to
share it with you lot. Originating from last year's Tokyo Game Show, the translated video sees Phoenix Wright putting
competing attorney Edgeworth in his place regarding his disgraceful lack of knowledge regarding the DS.
"I mean, seriously! Why does the system have 2 screens?"
The clip's an
exceptionally well done, tongue-in-cheek promotion of the game and the system it's on. If you still haven't experienced
the joy of playing it, consider this a motivating kick in the pants.

Funny, very funny...
I love the game. My only complaint being that it needs more save points.

Quite hilarious when the little DS boxes pop above everyone's head. Kudos to whomever translated this and kudos to DS Fanboy for bringing it to my attention.

It was availble in the US for quite some time although you probably won't find the TGS scene in it. The TGS trailer was made using the game engine to promote the game that's all.

I dont have a DS (waiting for the DS lite) so I didnt know. I figure out that much (TGS trailer) but it still looks different and maybe fun to play.

TAKE THAT!!!
Great video! I wish the DS version would have had the voices for the characters. It did make me laugh when Edgworth said "Dont give me that Beep-Beep-Bep" LOLROF
I just recently finished it and I hope they come up with another version soon.
For the ones out there trying to find it, it is said that it's out of print. Search Gamestop.com...some store seem to have between 1 to 3 copies, but most likelly you are going to have to drive the distance. The good thing is...it totally worth it.

Actually, even the original Japanese release offered the English translation! The sequel has been confirmed for japan, though no word as of yet on whether it too will either be translated into English and have that option in the japanese version, or if it will see a US release.
I bloody hope one of those happens :)

For those who want to grab this game, good luck. Try searching it on eBay because it'll be difficult to find at your local store. I was fortunate enough back in nov. to walk into my local Fry's and grab Phoenix Wright and Trauma Center the same day.

Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth, I hereby accuse you of attempted murder.
The weapon? Humor of the highest degree.
