Nintendo: Court is in session

While the Phoenix Wright phenomenon has been around in Japan since 2001, it wasn't until last year that European players got to sample the delights of playing a defence lawyer in court. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney quickly turned into a cult classic, and just one of the many reasons why people love their Nintendo DS.

This Friday, Phoenix Wright returns with a full-blown sequel including four new cases begging to be solved.

The meat of the game is as juicy as ever, with murder plots, spiritual crimes and sinister secrets in dire need of an ace attorney. Also making a comeback is the series' trademark humour - unfunny clown included - Nintendo.
