  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

The video from TGS last year marketing the game. Funny if you have played the game and know the characters =P

For those who haven't played the game and own a DS, this is probably the game that almost anyone here would enjoy A LOT. It is my favourite game on the system, personally. The video was an example of a trial session. The whole game doesn't take place in court, in fact, a very large portion of it takes place throughout a variety of different locations. There's also a fairly good story going on at the same time which has some very good character development throughout the episodes (the game's timeframe is about 7-8 months in length). I haven't played through a lot of games in this genre before, but from what I have played, this one completely demolishes any of them on every level. It's like going from Pac-man or Chopper to your favourite Metal Gear Solid/Zelda/Final Fantasy.

There are 5 episodes in the game, each one getting longer, flashier, and with more gameplay features than the previous one. This is a game that is one that at times will really get you thinking, the situations/problems aren't overly difficult, but offer a much greater challenge than almost all other situations presented in the common RPGs that we play. It's a highly addictive game as well, I know it had my attention locked for quite a while. Of the 5 episodes: Episode 5 is quite a step up from the 4th episode (in terms of gameplay feautres and other things), it's quite a treat to have as the final stretch of the game. In fact, Episode 5 is so much more advanced than the previous ones that the system used in it could have been the basis for a sequel.

Anyways, the game is rare, but there is another batch of them being released soon (or so I have heard), I pick it up if you have a DS and plan on getting any game this year.

I want it really bad, so I am waiting for the supposed rerelease.

Me too.... fuck!


A lot of people have been confusing the re-issuing dates in NA (March) with the Euro release. I'm pretty sure Capcom has not said they were releasing more in NA.

Ouch, looks like the game is in high demand at the moment. It's selling on Amazon used for $70 and new for $80 (USD).

So if you want the game, keep your eyes opened for it if what BL says is true.
