Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Coming To Wii?

by Phil Kollar on Nov 05, 2009 at 12:25 PM

After nearly five handheld outings (assuming you include Apollo Justice and the upcoming Miles Edgeworth spin-off in the count), famed virtual lawyer Phoenix Wright has fought through court enough times to earn a console outing. If the latest leak from the German USK software rating board is to believed, that dream may finally be coming true.

GamerBytes picked up on a new rating from the organization for a game titled Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney, the same name as the original Phoenix Wright for Nintendo DS. Given the shared name, I'm assuming this would probably be a port of the original rather than an all new adventure, although I'd be happy to be wrong on that.

The article from GamerBytes speculates that release could use high-res assets that were created for a Japan-only PC port of the series last year and also that the game could show up on WiiWare. This would be the biggest WiiWare release in quite some time, although it would be even bigger if they happen to be creating new content involving everyone's favorite objection-filled lawyer.
