E3, LOS ANGELES May 18, 2005 — All rise! Capcom® today presented Phoenix Wright:

Ace Attorney for Nintendo DS(TM), the first in the popular court room battle series from Japan to be

®

released in PAL territories. While the series’ previous three entries appeared on the Game Boy

Advance system in Japan, this marks its debut on the Nintendo DS.

Not everyone is innocent until proven guilty! Players star as a defence attorney, who must prove

his seemingly guilty client’s innocence no matter how dire the circumstances may seem. The

game presents twisting storylines and intriguing gameplay in a comical anime style. Players must

collect evidence, weed through inconsistent testimonies, and overcome corrupt agendas to

ensure that justice prevails. Capcom plans to release Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney across PAL

territories this autumn.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney includes the following features:

• Play from the first person perspective through five intriguing 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

• Colourful cast of characters

o Phoenix Wright – the game’s main character who is an accomplished defence lawyer

with a keen sense for discerning fact from truth

o Maya Fey – a bright young girl that aids Phoenix in his trials; she is learning to harness

her psychic powers which will prove useful in a pinch

o Mia Fey – an ace attorney who taught Phoenix everything she knows about the courtroom

and continues to support him as a mentor

o Miles Edgeworth – Phoenix’s arch rival, this slick prosecutor has never lost a case; his

intense hatred for criminal behaviour drives him to use any means to ensure a guilty

verdict
