The game having instructions would of been nice.
I eventually figured it out, but the game is kinda lame tbh.
Your pretty much tied to your chance of winning depending on the colour n direction of the blocks, and even if you stack 4, you do it the wrong way it adds it as a kill block thing. which kinda sucks.
So cool he's trying some skew on the old Tetris formula but he's no Pajitnov, and lame game is lame. #timewaster
@deanbmmv: There are instructions if you look up and see the "How to Play" button.
And what kill blocks are referring to? The rainbow blocks, or the black ones with skulls? Cause the black ones you only get if you miss the board, and the rainbow are nothing but beneficial. #timewaster
@Proximity: Ah, I see the how to play now. When the page loads it loads the game up, so the how to play gets crammed off the top of the screen.
And yeah, I mean the skull ones. It's a bit annoying that they get randomly placed on the board.
And your first block is pre-determined, cos theres only one place you can put it.
Its a good idea, but needs a fair bit of playability tweaking before its a workable game. #timewaster
Beating Jackal single player was one of the greatest achievements of my adolescence....that, Bionic Commando, Ninja Gaiden, Guardian Legend, Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!, Batman and Blaster Master pretty much cemented me as the Wizard of my neighborhood.
...yes. It doesn't belong there. Not in its current format, anyway. If it was a new game, I'd still buy it and play it, 'cause I'm a whore for the series. But if it retained the current visual novel style format of the DS titles (not including the Edgeworth game).... I mean, that's the kind of title that is PERFECT for the DS. I'd hate to be tied to my couch and TV in order to play it. #phoenixwright
@dowingba: I think the beeps actually work pretty well on the DS ones. It makes sound for the words which my brain fills in with voices. Besides, no voice actor could capture the sheer awesome of Godot or Edgeworth. #phoenixwright
@dowingba: Why is reading on a TV so much worse than reading on a DS?
And fuck no, I like David Hayter but he wouldn't fit Phoenix at all. I think Tony Oliver (Lupin III, Bang Shishigami) would work pretty well, though. Then again, Hayter was Lupin in Castle of Cagliostro... Hurm. #phoenixwright

Will it break the original formula of DULL DULL BRIEF EXCITEMENT DULL DULL DULL EPIC ENDING HELL YEAH?
The formula works, but once I recognized it I keep noticing it over and over.
Gotta be some concession for not letting me walk around with it.
If it is new of course.
@josh.milewski:
I lvoed them. Played through until the third case of 4 and then quit because I got tired of the formula. episodes are literally 85% busy work, which is necessary, but needs to be interrupted with more awesome.
When people bring up pheonix wright game moments from the sequel games they generally always cite end of case events. It is pretty much just capping off mediocrity with awesome to make you forget.
It works for them, but I want them tog et more inventive. #phoenixwright
@excel_excel:
It's fine when you aren't just doing back and forth for an hour. Also, where the hell is stuff like case 5 in the first game? #phoenixwright
@Demonbird: I really like them all. 2 of course is the poorest but its end case is fantastic. So good with the reversal of your suspect and Edgeworth being totally badass #phoenixwright
@Demonbird: I liked all the cases except the bloody circus one. God awful. But seriously. the 3rd game is full of brilliant moments. The first case where you defending Phoenix, Godot being the coolest character ever, the fantastic suspensful 4th case. And Edgeworth in Case 5. Ahhh god I love that. #phoenixwright

"Yes, you are."
"No, seriously. This is a mockery of justice."
"Well then, your client loses and as per universe rules some horrible crippling mind expanding fate awaits you."
"... Fine." #phoenixwright
@Demonbird: ha yeah! Even in terms of story it made no sense. the guy whoes found guilty goes through no change from good to evil unlike every other person who you find guilty . #phoenixwright
@excel_excel: I didn't really like the investigation parts, the examination and moving between areas and talking to people and presenting random evidence and blah blah got old fast. Especially when someone who had nothing to say before SUDDENLY remembers something due to an arbitrary checkpoint you hit somewhere else.
The courtroom segments, however, are some of my favorite gaming moments ever. #phoenixwright
Oh Nintendo, you guys are always on top of your game. Demos! What a concept. Welcome to the modern world of gaming. You're only 15 years late. #wiiware
@QualityJeverage: I have to completely agree with you. It is my belief that stuff like this should ALWAYS have a demo. I wouldn't buy a car without test driving it. #wiiware
@QualityJeverage: Truth. I'm used to PSN and just got a 360 and it's so strange being able to try ANYTHING.
Nintendo... I haven't tried any Wiiware games other than a few retrogames I downloaded. I thought about grabbing a few, but I'd been so disappointed with the system, I haven't bought any out of extra caution. #wiiware
