Capcom announced today that super attorney Phoenix Wright will be leaving his comfy home on the DS and crime solving his way onto WiiWare..  This will be Phoenix’s first venture onto a home console, but don’t expect anything new from the series.   In an attempt to keep up with other game series on WiiWare, the original Phoenix Write series will be chopped up and placed into episodes for quick and easy chunks of crime solving goodness.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright  Ace Attorney: Justice For All, and Phoenix Wright Ace  Attorney: Trials and Tribulations, are all getting a port over to the Wii, so this may not be something appealing to hardcore fans of the series who have already worked their way through these cases. But for those who have yet to experience the wacky adventures of Phoenix Wright, this is a must buy.  No word yet on whether or not you can yell “OBJECTION!” into the Wii controller, but my fingers are crossed!

Phoenix Wright got his first shot at popularity in Japan, but quickly gained fame in North America, selling over 3 million copies worldwide.  You play as Phoenix Wright, a greenhorn lawyer just out of law school, looking to sink his teeth into some major cases.  To solve the crime you must gather evidence, build a case, and discover holes in the evidence provided by the persecution.  The stories are funny and suspenseful, and the puzzles will have you brain working for hours.  Look for the first episode of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney to hit WiiWare in early 2010.
