E3 2006: Capcom® Announces Phoenix Wright™: Ace Attorney™ Justice For All for the Nintendo DS™
E3, LOS ANGELES - May 10, 2006 - Court is
back in session as Capcom® today announced Phoenix
Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All for the
Nintendo DS. The second game in the popular court room
battle series from Japan introduces four new cases featuring
new characters, plot twists and gameplay features. Players
resume the role of Phoenix Wright, a defense attorney who
must prove his client's innocence against the toughest of
odds and most ruthless of adversaries. Players must exercise
their legal prowess as they collect evidence, examine
witnesses, analyze testimonies and seek the truth to ensure
that justice prevails. The game is characterized by its
memorable characters, engaging storylines and unique gameplay
format, all presented in a comical anime style. Capcom plans
to release Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All
across North America in Q1 2007.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All includes the
following features:
Play from the first person perspective through four
shocking new cases
Two distinct gameplay segments:
o Investigation phase - survey crime scenes, interview
witnesses and gather evidence that will be used in
court
o Court phase - present findings from the investigation to
support your case, listen to testimonies, examine witnesses,
and determine what is fact from fiction so you can prove your
client's innocence
New "Psyche-Lock" feature - some witnesses may be
keeping the truth under tight lock and key (aka the
"Psyche-Lock" state), so in order to break them down,
successfully open up their Psyche-Locks with a series of
correct questions or catch them on their inconsistent
testimony
New life bar represents Phoenix's status in court - by
presenting incorrect evidence or following misguided attempts
to break Psyche-Locks, Phoenix's life bar will go down; the
only way to regain this stat is to successfully open a
witness's Psyche-Lock
Use the DS touch screen to navigate the game's
interface and become deeply involved in court room
proceedings by using the microphone to yell "Objection,"
"Take that" and more!
Colorful cast of characters include both new and
familiar faces
o Phoenix Wright - the game's main character who is a defense
lawyer with a keen sense for discerning fact from truth
o Franziska von Karma - the new D.A. and daughter of former
adversary, Manfred von Karma, is on the warpath to take
Phoenix down and avenge her father by any means
necessary
o Maya Fey - having honed her psychic powers, she is now a
mystic of the Kurain Channeling Technique and will continue
to be a valuable ally for Phoenix in his trials
o Pearl Fey - Maya's cousin is an up and coming psychic
herself and looks up to her as a role model
