Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney was released in North America in the fall of 2005. It was a surprise smash-hit among the Nintendo DS gaming crowd. The extremely well-written lawyering/adventure game wasn't much more than a glorified port of the already popular franchise from Japan. Capcom decided to take a chance and localize the game for an English-speaking audience. It paid off very well, with game shortages due to impressive sales cropping up not long after the release, catching the company with their business trousers at their ankles.

Now it's sequel time. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice for All is preparing for a North American launch in mid-January. GameStop and EBGames have just opened pre-orders. I assume you've already placed yours, right? Not only do you assure a copy of the game, pre-orders also come with a snazzy Phoenix Wright stylus! It will easily be one of the best games for the DS next year, so make sure you're in on the fun as soon as possible.
