I bought JFA while on vacation in Florida. It was only 20 bucks, so I convinced my parents to buy it. I'm pretty sure I read about it in Nintendo Power first.

I saw lots of people on the Internet spazzing over it, so I decided to play the first game. At first I was like "pfffft this is a LAWYER GAME it's going to be the most boring junk ever". I was hooked by the middle of 1-3.

I play Shelly de Killer and Damon Gant on Gyakuten MSN.

so my friend was like "I'm playing Phoenix Wright." and I was like "OMG I HEAR GOOD STUFF ABOUT IT. I CAN BORROW IT?" and she was like "YEAH." And I borrowed it. Then she moved. We still keep in touch because of the internet though. So suffice to say, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney is a precious game to me.

iLuv trying to convince me to play her 'lawyer game'. I put it off for a while, seeing as I thought it would be the most boring game in the world. But eventually I played it, and was hooked half way through the first case :D.

Play-asia sent me an email about the latest games and I saw GK was on the list. It seemed interesting so I ordered it, played it and discovered there were others in english, so I purchased the rest.

I read a review in the Official Nintendo Magazine for JFA. The review made it look pretty cool, and plus constant badgering from a friend ("It's cool, it's great, what's the harm?? :lotta:

) so in the end, I got it. :edgy:

I've been hooked ever since!

Well, one of my friends picked the game up out of boredom, and loved them. So, she told me and a few others about it, and one or two of them actually decided to get the game. After listening to them go on about the cases and Edgeworth and objections, I decided to get it myself. I'm probably more obsessed than they are/were and will reference the games at any given moment.

I had visited my local Gamestop for the first time, and it's box had caught my eye. I only saw it once, but the word "Phoenix" had caught my attention. After that, I never saw the game again...
3 years later, I was browsing YouTube and on a video, I saw Phoenix's Sprite for the one millionth time on the internet (as well as Objection!) and my curiosity finally peaked. I asked when the video was finished and I was pointed in the right direction.

Okay so it's not nearly as exciting as everyone else, but you didn't say it had to be an adventure with danger, romance, and drama!! X3

I think I love Buizel too much? ... Nah XD

I got tired of seeing a random picture of PW:AA in Nintendo Power, went to search it on Google the next day and in the evening, I started playing the game. I liked the first case and I was hooked. Then, I started getting the other titles and I still feel like a new player whenever I play case 1. Even on the Wii.

well...... How I got into the series is taking a peek at Apollo Justice.... Spoiled myself.... :sadshoe:

And then I tried out T&T for myself, then I finally got AJ for myself, and suddenly I have this obsession of trying to get PW1 and PW2.... :yuusaku:

So, yeah. Apollo did it. :bellboy:

I had an unhealthy obsession over Phoenix Wright some years before I ever played the games. Then I though I should buy a DS so I could play them and I worked hard all summer to get enough money for it, but I never did buy the thing. Then my brother bought a DS and I borrowed it and got myself these games and I think I might have cried tears of happiness when I first 'objected'.

I'm serious. It was unhealthy. :'D

I saw it as a title to be released with the nintendo ds, and I thought playing as a lawyer would be kinda cool. That's all, really. Kinda boring "Oh look, a game. *play* Neat." :/

That's nothing, my most recent buy for the DS (a crappy RPG called Contact) was AU$12 which I believe is even less. How did I get it that cheap? 3 words: Post Christmas Sale. :edgy:

I scored a copy of AJ for AU$10 when Harvey Norman were doing a clearout of games that obviously weren't selling. (I wound up selling it to a friend who was wanting to try the series out.) They also had Trauma Centre: First Blood for the Wii $15. Sometimes you're just in the right place at the right time and you get bargains.

A person on Deviant Art that I watch a while back was REALLY into Phoenix Wright. She'd post journals about the cases and rant about them and it got me all curious. I eventually looked up the games online and read about them, and after that I was all into it. Took me a while to get a copy of PW: AA, but once I did and started playing, I was HOOKED immediately.

I got into it when my cousin and I went to Gamestop to get a new to play my new DS at 2005. I saw it and my cousin apparently knew about the game and told me about it. I thought I should try it from what my cousin said. When I got started, I got addicted by the second case. I became a Phoenix Wright fan ever since. :phoenix:

My friend showed me a parody about three years ago of Avenue Q's Schadenfreude with all of the Phoenix Wright characters singing the parts, and I absolutely fell in love with the animation, and demanded to know what it was from. She let me borrow the first one, and I've been hooked on all the games ever since!

Sometime in 2010, I saw some parodies of Phoenix Wright that piqued my interest, so I watched GCDotNet's walkthrough of the first game. I watched the ENTIRE first game, then asked to get others for Christmas. I got JFA and AJ. I beat JFA, then got T&T on Wiiware and beat it, then beat AJ, then bought AAI and beat it.

In my case, it was lotsa luck.

Like 3 years ago an Electronic-Stuff-Shop had certain DS-Games like pretty cheap. One of them was "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney"
A good friend of mine strongly recommended it to me and so I bought it.
First, I was like: Well ok. Reading and stuff... but when it came to pressing and objecting I was like: "Holy crap, this game is awesome!"

And that was my story.
