Phoenix's rival Miles Edgeworth has disappeared after the events of Gyakuten Saban and is presumed dead... Case #1: The first case is titled, "The Lost Turnabout" where a young policeman named Dustin Prince has been murdered in Expose Park. On the sand next to the body is the name of the officer's girlfriend, Mako Suzuki (aka Maggey Byrde). Phoenix has to try the case and determine if Mako was really crazy enough to allow her name to be written next to the body without kicking up the dirt... or is she being used as a patsy? To add to the drama, Phoenix is suffering from a bout of amnesia... Case #2: The Reunion and the Turnabout. After a nurse at a hospital kills 14 patients and dies herself in a car accident, doctor Tetsurou Kirisaki tries to convince the public to visit his hospital again by performing a séance. His goal is to get the spirit of the killer nurse to confess her crimes and show that the hospital is safe once again. Maya Fey is hired to conduct the séance but during the ceremony, a gunshot sounds out. When the smoke clears, Tetsurou Kirisaki is dead and Maya is accused of murder. Case #3: Turnabout Circus. When the proprietor of a circus turns up dead, Phoenix is called into action. A clown who witnessed the murder claims that the killer rose up into the sky after the dastardly deed and points his finger at a circus magician named Max Galactic. Case #4: Farewell Turnabout. The television show "Steel Samurai" is once again visited by murder and "Ninja Nanja" who was played by Isao Fujimino is dead. The current actor in the Steel Samurai costume, Shingo Outorou, is accused of murder. To add to the intrigue, Maya gets kidnapped by a perpetrator who warns Phoenix to obtain a "not guilty" judgment.

Court is back in session as Capcom® today announced Phoenix Wright™: Ace Attorney™ Justice For All for the Nintendo DS™. The second game in the popular court room battle series from Japan introduces four new cases featuring new characters, plot twists and gameplay features. Players resume the role of Phoenix Wright, a defense attorney who must prove his client’s innocence against the toughest of odds and most ruthless of adversaries. Players must exercise their legal prowess as they collect evidence, examine witnesses, analyze testimonies and seek the truth to ensure that justice prevails. The game is characterized by its memorable characters, engaging storylines and unique gameplay format, all presented in a comical anime style. Capcom plans to release Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All across North America in Q1 2007. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All includes the following features:
• Play from the first person perspective through four shocking new cases. • Two distinct gameplay segments:
» Investigation phase – survey crime scenes, interview witnesses and gather evidence that will be used in court.
» 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. • New “Psyche-Lock” feature – some witnesses may be keeping the truth under tight lock and key (aka the “Psyche-Lock” state), so in order to break them down, successfully open up their Psyche-Locks with a series of correct questions or catch them on their inconsistent testimony. • New life bar represents Phoenix’s status in court – by presenting incorrect evidence or following misguided attempts to break Psyche-Locks, Phoenix’s life bar will go down; the only way to regain this stat is to successfully open a witness’s Psyche-Lock. • Use the DS touch screen to navigate the game’s interface and become deeply involved in court room proceedings by using the microphone to yell “Objection,” “Take that” and more! • Colorful cast of characters include both new and familiar faces.
» Phoenix Wright – the game’s main character who is a defense lawyer with a keen sense for discerning fact from truth.
» Franziska von Karma – the new D.A. and daughter of former adversary, Manfred von Karma, is on the warpath to take Phoenix down and avenge her father by any means necessary.
» Maya Fey – having honed her psychic powers, she is now a mystic of the Kurain Channeling Technique and will continue to be a valuable ally for Phoenix in his trials
o Pearl Fey – Maya’s cousin is an up and coming psychic herself and looks up to her as a role model. Capcom is a leading worldwide developer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment.
