A little-known fact about DS Fanboy is that no matter how verbose, articulate, witty or insightful you may be, you are completely ineligible for employment here until you've played, beaten, and critically praised Phoenix Wright: Attorney at Law. So imagine, if you will, our glee at the news of yet another installment of Gyakutan Saiban (Our lovable little Phoenix's Japanese moniker) slated for release on the DS in Japan.
The first three Gyakutan Saiban games had a continuous, complex plotline weaving in and out of almost every case in the trilogy. It was brought to a satisfying close at the end of the third installment, and so this fourth iteration actually stars one Housuke Odoroki, as opposed to Phoenix himself. This will be the first of the series specifically designed from the ground up for the DS (the three previous installments were all originally GBA titles), so some intriguing new gameplay facets are sure to make themselves known. Other than that, there isn't much information available, but we have no doubt as to the quality this game will surely bring to the table.
The original Phoenix Wright is in the midst of a partial "rebirth" at the moment, with a third shipment of the game being shipped to stores quite randomly throughout the country. The upcoming Phoenix Wright: Justice for All game (actually Gyakutan Saiban 2) is scheduled for release early next year.

Another shipment of Phoenix Wright is going to hit stores in Mid-August. Hopefully a much larger shipment since stores either sold out their allotment in a day or a week with about a hundred a day being sold by the lesser known online retailers.

About time. Atleast they realized the demand for it.

Good folk of DSFanboy,
I own PWAA, and love it muchly so. I can't help but point and shout "HOLD IT!" or "OBJECTION!" or "TAKE THAT!" in real life.
The DS has somehow overcome the Super NES as being my favorite video game system.
I've learned what "Housuke Odoroki" means. "Odoroki" means "surprise," the kanji for "hou" means "law," and "suke" is a common ending for a boy's name. So, a possible translation of his name is "Surprsing Lawboy."
And I have a Greek letter in my username.
Does that make me DS Fanboy material, or what? :P

Phoenix Wright: Attorney at Law? Just because they both have a bird motiff does not mean that you can cross Harvey Birdman with Nick!
Anyway, nice to see that a new shipment is on its way. Maybe now my friends can stop borrowing my copy. Though it does feel nice to spread the game around a bit, and let others see it in all of its shining glory.
