I've been playing PW:AA over and over again since I got it last October. Damnit, this is such a good game, and it pisses me off to no end that there are like 3 sequels out there in Japan already and none are slated so far to be released here in the USA.

WTF is wrong with those maggots at Capcom USA anyway? I swear, I better see something at GDC or E3, otherwise, well, I'm not sure but, I'll figure something out. :D
 
I thought the first game had been translated by Capcom Japan, not Capcom USA. You're aiming your abuse in the wrong direction.
 
You sure about that? Thats a pretty damn good translation out of Japan then (though maybe that makes sense why it turned out so good). Hmm, if you're right, then well...

Damn you Capcom Japan!!! Now I have another reason to hate you, like I already did because you got rid of the Demon's Crest series and replaced it with that gay Vampire thingy Dante. :D
 
Well Capcom Japan have been building their localization massively (Japanese->English) over the past year or so, so it's not that surprising. Most of the translations are handled in house over here now.
 
Hmm, you are right, I probably should have remembered that most, if not all of the Resident Evil's are translated and recorded over in Japan.
 
Why did Capcom KILL this game in release? My girlfriend has a standing order for it on Amazon.com thats not likely to be filled becase of it being discontinued.

Oh yeah cause no one heard of Phoenix Wright and it'll sell like shit :| BS, that game was destined to be a cult hit Parappa-style and I swear Capcom killed it!

Unless anyone's heard anything about it going back into print....
 
Importing is pricey and when there is a local version I prefer to get that one. Worse comes to worse there is that option I guess.

It's just lunacy, that's all. You know Capcom will make plenty of copies of Viewtiful Joe Red Hot Rumble for everyone, and now Phoenix Wright is rare. Dumb. You do not discontinue a game after Marilyn Manson talks about it!

They dropped it like a hot rock.... because they couldn't see how it would infiltrate the American psyche.....
 
I gave this game a break, but now I'm playing it eagerly again. I'm in the middle of the fourth case, and even though the investigation keeps getting more and more tedious, I can't put this game down. It's too special, too novel, too ingenious.. I don't want it to end. The only reason why I turn it off at all is because I want the first time through to last as long as possible.

In case you missed the party, the JP version includes the full English game.

Is this the case for the sequals too? I will be going to japan soon so any import friendly games are good to know about.
 
Capcom　has been doing a lot of that lately... I hope they continue to do so with their games.. DMC3 had full English mode in it, PW, I am not sure if Biohazard does but I would think so..considering that it was in mostly English when it launch for the first time in Japan... "BLOOD! I HOPE! THIS ISN'T! CHRIS' BLOOD!"

Capcom USA's distribution and promotion of this game:

Anyone who is looking for this game should check their local Blockbuster/Gamerush for it. I've seen the game available at multiple Gamerush locations (my city has at least 6 locations locally) If anyone wants the game, I will trade for Mario & Luigi:Superstar Saga or Partners In Time. Hit me up with a PM

QFT.
America is the most litigious society in the world. We've got more lawyers per capita, and Law and Order TV shows then any other place on earth. That Capcom sold out of its shipment within less then three months shows there's aduquate demand out there for the lawyer-sim subgenre. If there were more copies out there, I'm sure that Phoenix Wright could have been a steady seller for months to come. As it is, we'll just have to be satisfied with it becoming an instant cult-hit and hope that Capcom recognizes that their is demand out there for more product.
 
Any Europeans got this yet? www.dimplus.nl has my order, it's in stock and I'm waiting on delivery. 35 euro. they ship to UK as well I think. It's a dutch site, but easy to navigate.
 
I'm disappointed too, I got my own copy, but I planned to get my girlfriend a copy and a DS later since she enjoyed the game to.

The really fun thing is comparing the Japanese site to the American one. It's crazy. If you search around the Japanse site they even have a demo of the game and an annoucement for the next one. I think Capcom really missed a profitable opportunity with this one.

You just had to remind me. :(
 
Complaining about a sequel when I can't even find the first one... Makes me sick! I saw it a couple weeks ago and didn't buy it! Now it's nowhere! NOWHERE! Stupid Capcom! Reprint it!
 
I'm hopeful for sequels too, but I'd just be happy to see a reprint. You can't find this game ANYWHERE anymore. I'm lucky enough to have a copy but I need to find a copy for a friend. If nothing else, I'll import it from Europe come March. It's such a great game, it's really too bad it's rare all of a sudden. Get it together Capcom!
 
There's an in-process fan translation of GS3 that's completed up to the first case. You can also get a translated GS promotional vid here

Sorry about that, but you see how I feel.

I've been trying to figure out for a while now who was the lead for the Demon's Crest series. Last I heard it was Shinji Mikami who made it before he got famous for Resident Evil. Of course, I dunno about how accurate that is.

THe only advertising for the game I'm aware of was in NewType USA in the form of a little colored insert. It was pretty nifty. They only did that for one issue though.
 
Has there actually been any word on more Phoenix Wright "remakes" being developed for the Nintendo DS in Japan at least? I'd like to hope that would be done, considering that they may once again include the English option and therefore I could just import it without having to wait for Capcom USA to decide anything.
 
I don't know what PW is, but I pray CAPCOM brings Lost Planet on 360 to the states. That game looks fucking AMAZING!

I don't know about remakes of the others, but based on the Japanese site, there's a another sequel in the works.
 
It really pains me to see unsold copies in every videogame store where I live; I think I'm the only person in Puerto Rico to have bought his game.... actually I'm sure I'm wrong, since I've seen one used copy as well....

I'd be more than happy to buy these copies and send them out to the needy so that I'd be doing my part to raise the NPD total sales....

They cost 34.99 new, with 3.95 shipping via priority mail, so if anyone wants PW goodnes at $39, they can just PM me about it and we'll work something out, or if you want to trade, I'm looking for copies of Ouendan and Jump super stars, or maybe newer DS releases like Bleach.....I'd also take trades with games from other consoles like Sega superstars for PS2, or GTA LCS for PSP.... just hit me up with some propositions and we'll talk....

Just to clarify, these would be sealed, NA versions of the game (I know of at least 4 or 5 that I could get, probably more, so send in those PM's quickly if interested....

Oh, and on the topic, damn Capcom if parts 2 and 3 aren't brought over....I'm already dissapointed that Phoenix won't be the main character of part 4.....

Hey, it's that guy who traded those copies of Rez to me.

You're forgiven, by the way.. I only have my own ass to kick for that one.
 
geez sonarrat, talk about bad luck.... the rez reprint a few weeks after the trade.. and the 360 taking all the attention away from your ebay auctions... I was actually keeping a close eye on your progress and wishing you the best...

Then I started to fear for my life since I remembered that you still had my address ;)

I still have yours, btw, I'll see If I can send you something to cheer you up a bit If I come accross some bargains...
 
I love this game but obtained it entirely by luck. We did Secret Santa at home, with everyone writing down a few things they might want. I wrote out several DS games that I was on the fence about or might never get on my own. Come midnight of Christmas... PW. And my sis, who knows nothing about games, apparently went out and got it on Christmas Eve, right around when I found out how fucking scarce the game was becoming. I have no clue where she found this then cause I've been to a number of game stores around NYC since and not found a single copy anywhere.
