Phoenix Wright has risen from the ashes today, though not with an entirely new game. Instead, the Wii port of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney has been released by Capcom on WiiWare.

Originally released on the Nintendo DS, the quirky courtroom adventure puts players in control of the titular pointy-haired defense attorney. Along with his psychic sidekick(s), Wright must investigate crime scenes, interrogate witnesses, and then pull out any and all outrageous stops while questioning witnesses on the stand, looking for crucial contradictions in their testimony.

The WiiWare release includes only the first four cases from the DS version at a cost of 1000 Wii Points. The "bonus" fifth case will be released in May for an additional 100 Wii Points. Wii ports of the next two Ace Attorney adventures are also scheduled for the coming months.
