Wow, so might actually get to point when we object, then?

Yaragorm · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 4:17 am

I'd buy it, though I'd never have the time to use it.

LightningfistCal · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 4:24 am

To be honest I don't really see any other reason to buy it other than for collection purposes and other perks. It's basically the same game; you play the same story but by a different means of playing.

Yaragorm · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 4:26 am

Oh. I thought it would be brand new game with new plot and stuff.

It would still be interesting though.

LightningfistCal · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 4:29 am

Nah, it's just a port. If it were a new game it would've been major news.

L~A · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 8:07 am

I mean... what the heck? What would be the point of releasing it on WiiWare?
I understand the port from GBA to DS, but to the WiiWare?! :lana:

(Yep, I do have a Wii, but I absolutely don't care about this port... I mean, this is so much better on DS, I just can't imagine playing it on a TV screen... oh well I guess that's all for moneyz, right? :eh?:

Coppo · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 9:21 am

I'm not too surprised that it's being ported to WiiWare. They ported the game to PC and mobile phones while it was still a Japanese exclusive GBA title.

The only thing that makes me wonder is how they'll make the Objection! button interactable. Since there's no mic slot, would they make you do the finger pointing gesture with the remote at the screen? This is even assuming that it's the DS version being ported. It could easily be the GBA title as well.

Nose · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 10:04 am

Wasn't there a recent interview where the team said the games would definitely not be coming to the wii?
Not that I mind, perhaps they could do it with HD sprites like Atlus did with the Trauma center port.

TheBaronAndEma · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 10:10 am

......I'm still a bit skeptical, and am surpised that not many others are. I've heard from many reliable places, and even the producers of game, that it wouldn'e be ported as the game best suits the DS.

Nonetheless, I'm still interested. :phoenix:

I remember that too... Although there is a big difference between a port to Wii and a new game for Wii.

Wooster · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 10:55 am

Well, I'm curious about a few things with this semi-announcement.

Number 1, Is it episodic content or not? I wasn't too thrilled about being nickeled and dimmed when the title was ported to the Cell Phone. Paying for each investigation and court phase was just stupid. I'd personally rather have the whole game or not at all.

Number 2, is it a direct port or are we going to get the graphics and style seen in the TGS trailers?

Number 3, If it's a sprite port, is this a port of the DS version, or the GBA one?

Still, it's interesting news none the less. Thanks for the heads up JapaneseGirl!

I totally agree. AA was meant for the GBA and DS and it should be kept that way ( though I wouldn't mind Phoenix in Super Smash Bros.) WiiWare's not an option, AA on Wii just wouldn't work.

Agreed. I think I would rather see a spin off made specifically for Wii (like... Trucy's Magical Day-Off? :D) rather than repeat what has been made and, to be frank, take away from it. For now, I think Capcom has even more thing up their sleeve, and I for one will wait and see.

Wooster · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 11:27 am

Personally, I'm not skeptical that they're porting the title. I mean, how many times has Japan gotten GS1?

GBA
PC
DS
CellPhone

So from 2001, to about 2007-ish I think, they've had 4 ports of the game. That's roughly one every year and a half. If patterns have told us anything, we're over due for another cheap port.

Chikikyo · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 11:34 am

Interesting...

Gyakuten$aiban · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 1:47 pm

I was going to post this but I was like "Nah, they probably wouldn't care"...

*Grumble.*

nekonohime · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 2:40 pm

I'd only get it if was a new game :P

Well, I have to agree here. But the reason I'm skeptical about this announce is the support: that is, WiiWare. I can't imagine this port selling so well. In fact, I can't picture it selling at all. I mean, almost most people who own a Wii and might be interested by this port probably already own a DS, and probably own the game.

A re-issue of the DS port with a nice price (like the 'New Best Price! 2000' in Japan) would have been a much more 'logical' choice than porting it on the Wii (and I'm not talking about eventual gameplay issues...). Especially since it's so hard to find this game on DS anymore (at least, new copies).

I know this is but a (very) cheap port, but at least the port on PC (aimed at people who only play video games on PC, and don't own any console) and Cellphone (aimed at people not really interested in video games in the first place, even though things have changed when the Nintendo DS was released) were more 'logical' than WiiWare.

***

Besides, I don't think we'll get any improvement or new stuff for this port. I'm pretty sure it'll be a straight copy-paste of the DS (perhaps even GBA) game put on the WiiWare. I seriously doubt they'll make 'HD sprites' just for this WiiWare, as someone mentioned before. (Even though, I would probably do buy it if they did! xD)

Well, I'd like to be utterly wrong about this port, but I just can't help thinking this is Capcom genius in recycling game in a very cheap way at work here...
(Even though I'm not AGAINST this port, I just don't understand it.)

Exactly. Just because of this I'm already deceived, but I'll wait for the release to comment about it.

Blademaster_Orca · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 5:04 pm

It's a rather odd announcement, to be honest; One would think this would be better suited to DSiWare, or just a rerelease for the DSi itself rather than a WiiWare game. Because of the restriction to a home console, though, I don't see it doing nearly as well as the handheld versions.

34Chan · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 5:11 pm

I think it's perfect for the wii.
All you do on the DS Is tap the screen, why not just point and click on the Wii?
Ehh, I wouldn't be happy if they changed the gameplay tooo much, but... They should re-do the sprites so that they're not all pixelly. -w-

Heart's Soul · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 6:30 pm

Objection!!!

Wait, I did it wrong. Like WiiWare did it. The Wii is going to die in 2011, why make a port? After 2 years.

Coffee Prosecutor · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 6:40 pm

I think this would be epicly cool since u could play it on a big screen!
I LOVE the idea

The game was really hard to find for a long time; I could see a decent audience in people who read a good review, didn't see the game around, and just went on to something else. Or bought the first one, liked it, but never bought the sequels. Or don't have a DS at all. It seems like a reasonable idea to me.

And if they add anything as an extra, they could also get fans rebuying it -- new art, something. Heck, as someone who RPs from the series, the ability to have multiple save files, if included, would probably get me to buy it.

Coffee Prosecutor · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 6:49 pm

I would hate it if they would make 3D graphics
Cel-shading perhaps :yuusaku:

ARGH!I dunno . . .

Perrydotto · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 8:31 pm

Not too excited since we don't know anything about the content of the game yet, but I'm curious in any case.

GolfDude · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 10:25 pm

i think if it comes out on the wii that it should use the Orchestrated Music As the BGM.. that would make this game 10 times more epic to play.. and it would sure sound a heck of a lot better than 8 bit through tv...

In the ds game they don´t use 8bit music
search at youtube 8bit music and the original

That's the quip about learning things before they're properly announced. We kind of ruin the flavor for ourselves when we don't know the full context of the announcement.

On the other hand, it might be in our best interests to find out what conventions Capcom is attending.

DeMatador · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 11:01 pm

If it's been rated, it probably exists. Remember we got the "Ace Attorney Investigations" name from a trademark?

I'd get this, if they don't use any fancy forced motion gameplay...

The Red Dahlia · **Posted:** Fri Nov 06, 2009 6:54 am

YES! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!
That means, if it is successful, we may finally be able to get Trials and Tribulations in Australia!!!!

SnowWright · **Posted:** Fri Nov 06, 2009 8:07 am

Imagine doing forensics on wii :sassy:

(though examining countless times might be tiring)

Catgrenade · **Posted:** Fri Nov 06, 2009 12:35 pm

This doesn't sound like a good idea at all, but maybe people without a DS can finally play the series, which means I can stop lending mine out.

conditionals · **Posted:** Fri Nov 06, 2009 2:46 pm

This news, for some reason, turned up via my google alert for 'Gyakuten Saiban 5'. I nearly blew my top when I got that email :spit:

Disappointing.

'Technicallly....' it is the 5th remake of GS1... so it's not totally misleading...

Kartoon Kween · **Posted:** Fri Nov 06, 2009 5:44 pm

If it comes out for the wii, it means that I can get my dad to play it!

If they give it a make-over (ala Trauma Center), I'll officially be excited. For now, I am pleased.

Colonel Olrik · **Posted:** Fri Nov 06, 2009 5:58 pm

Pleased for the guys who're getting it on the Wii (no more scrounging video game shops/online sites for a copy), I personally see very little point in getting it, myself; a), I don't own a Wii. b) I much prefer tapping and shouting to pointing and...pointing.

Exclusive Wii feature: ~~Fondle Mia's/April's breasts using the Wii mote~~ Point angrily at screen.

Saviouz · **Posted:** Fri Nov 06, 2009 6:48 pm

Camon it's absolutely a good news! (I would like much more to hear that they're working on GK5 but...)
If it's a true porting it would have a new graphic and the music must be with a better quality so.. it's a good news in any case! :will:

Coppo · **Posted:** Fri Nov 06, 2009 8:58 pm

I wonder if they'll even be able to port over case 5 to the Wii. Examining evidence is possible, just select the rotating bars with the cursor. What makes me wonder if the fingerprint system. They require you to blow into the mic to blow off the powder, but there's no mic hole in the Wiimote or the console.
