Ace Attorney games are scheduled for digital release on Nintendo’s WiiWare next year.

Capcom today announced that three Ace Attorney games are scheduled for digital release on Nintendo’s WiiWare next year beginning with "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney" followed by "Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: JUSTICE FOR ALL," and "Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS." Gamers can expect the first release sometime in January 2010; priced at 1,000 Wii Points ($10.00).

Each game in the series presents twisting storylines and gameplay with comical anime stylings. In order to win cases, players will collect evidence, weed through inconsistent testimonies and overcome corrupt agendas. Present evidence with the wave of the Wii remote or press suspicious testimonies by wiggling it.

The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Episode 1 through 4) story kicks off with Phoenix Wright defending his childhood friend Larry Butz from a murder charge. But this is only the beginning as Wright faces unexpected tragedies that will test his limits. In May, owners of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney will be able to download the bonus episode that appeared in the original Nintendo DS version of the game. It will cost 100 Wii Points.

In March, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: JUSTICE FOR ALL arrives. Phoenix Wright has six months experience and five court victories under his belt. But none of that will do him any good against the ruthless new D.A., Franziska von Karma.

In May, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS arrives,allowing players to xperience the most intense courtroom standoffs of Phoenix Wright’s career, as he faces "Godot," the toughest prosecutor yet.
