Course, I had the tendancy to read the script out loud. I think I had fun reading April May's script.
When I got my DS Lite last year, I splurged on buying at least 5 games for it. (Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble, Puyo Pop Fever, Super Princess Peach, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, & Guilty Gear-Dust Strikes).
This year, I got Justice for All, even though I had to use a walkthough, due to the fact I had very poor memory and I like that Capcom finally made a dominate woman character that wasn't fan-service.
Plus, she reminded me of the only female Belmont, Sonia.
Also Pearl was cute too.
The sucky part of getting JFA was the price, since we have a 16% tax rate, but it was money well spent.Since I have a tendancy to like white hair male characters (Dante, InuYasha, Alucard & Seph), a friend of mine did this objection, which probably lead to my likeness of Mr. von Karma too.

And did the following comic for it. One of my first Phoenix Wright related comics.

Anyways, just three weaks ago, I finally got the first one. I haven't started playing it, but I am getting help from one of my classmates.
I guess I like this series because it brought me some friends, meeting people I never knew, and I never had any friends to begin with.
Although, Phoenix and Edgeworth look like Dante and Vergil from the DMC series.

I saw the trailer on G4, and just started laughing about it. I was thinking "Geez, a LAWYER game? How stupid!" So, I did a bit of looking into it and saw that it really wasn't that stupid. So I bought it.
And I love it. <3

I went in with my mom and we talked to the manager. I teared up because of all the stress of my senior year combined with this crappy job. My manager, a real nice guy but part of a highly incompetent team of managers gave me a new schedule, and I had 2 hours before I had to go back. I go back to the car with my mother and sister, and I finally cried tears of relief. (My managers were still incompetent, thou, but that's a different story for a different time).
So, with two hours, my mom suggested we go get something for me to eat (I hadn't eaten since my lunch period at 11:30 in the morning), so we picked up Chinese food. I found that I had $5 and a Gamestop card loaded with $30 on it. I asked my mom to stop on our way out of the shopping center (all three stores were close together; so close that after early shifts, I would walk to the Gamestop and play the Xbox 360 while I waited). I walk in, just looking for something good. I looked the DS section, and I found Phoenix Wright. New copy. I head heard that it was extremely rare to find. I had to. It was destiny. I asked the clerk for the game, and he found the copy. "You're lucky. Last copy we had!" the nice clerk told me (same guy who sold me Elite Beat Agents, Justice for All, my DS Lite, and God Hand). "It's a short game, but the cases are long. You'll like it." I played a little of the first case before going to work, then over the course of a week and a half, I beat the game. But, I was hooked. Now, the games remind me of the span of two hours, where I felt an incredible weight lifted off my shoulders. That's why I love the series so.

I originally bought my DS because I wanted the Lunar game. What a joke that ended up being.... I hated that game. I never got much farther than the very beginning.

No, seriously. And he doesn't know it yet.
For a while- I don't know if he still has it now- he had a PW moodtheme on his LJ, and I believe an icon with pinkcheeks!Larry, and I remember thinking how utterly gay he looked like that. I didn't know where he was from, just... gay man in orange. I was interested. xD
So fast-forward to Christmas '06 (:3 Yeah I'm really new~) when my dad hints heavily that he'll be getting me a DS Lite and I give him a long list of games, one of which was Phoenix Wright because by this time I pretty much knew it as "that lawyer game with the gay guy." (Fear my naming skillz) Since I was already asking for Trauma Center, I figured what the heck, might as well ask for another quirky game.
At this same time, I was doing a five-page paper for English on how anime had affected American culture. A part of it was dedicated to video games. The Tales of Series, Disgaea, Trauma Center, Phoenix Wright, and Katamari. After a little research into PW I was all "Need game plz." so I kinda double-underlined it on my list. xD
I didn't get it for Christmas. D: Got the DS- he's pink and his name's Zelos- but my dad couldn't find AA. I did get Trauma Center, though. xD
Fast-forward again about five days. January 30, my dad drags us into Circuit City looking for something. I make a beeline for the video games and- lo and behold!- see ONE copy of Ace Attorney on the shelf. Cue greedy grabbing, a stifled fangirl squeal, and an abrupt loss of $25 of Christmas money.
I take it home and spend 2 hours on the first case the first night. Then after that, I stay up until about 2 am fininshing the SECOND case that night. Next day, I'm sleep-deprived and I have to go to a New year's party... um, at my house, but still, it's a party and there were people. I spent that whole evening lost in the third case and giggling with my friend about Oldbag. :3 Up until about 1 or 2 am again, but it's been beat!
Next morning it's on to case 4, and that one seals my position as Edgey fangirl. x3 Day after, case 5 with the help of a guide. I'm so glad I was out of school for Christmas.
My birthday (Feb 23) I get a target giftcard (and a driver's license!) so I drive to target with the same friend that was giggling over Oldbag, and HELLOOO JFA~ $24. I got lucky. And I bought it with my giftcard and some extra monies I had. x3 Spent most of that night giggling with my friend over how gay Wellington looked, went back to school after the weekend was over, and hid in the back of the classroom with Zelos and my friend JFA. xD
And then I'm here. ;3 Hello!
Oh, and I'm trying to ley a friend in Canada borrow my copy of AA, but I'm not sure how it'll do for the trip- does Customs use and magnetic stuff? I needs help~

I had heard about the game, in fact I think I read something about it in Nintendo Power, but I kind of just ignored it. From what I could tell, it would just be some text-based game about a lawyer, and how good could that possibly be? Besides, the main character's hair is just... weird.
But my brother, who has excellent taste in games I might add, was interested in the game and ended up getting it for his birthday soon after it came out. For some reason I thought it was funny that he actually bothered to get the game. Well some time passed, and I noticed how much he was into the game, so I did a little more research on it (did a lot of lurking on the GameFAQs forums, which is where I discovered that the game was full of puns and amusing quotes), and I became only slightly more interested. I still didn't really want to play it myself, so I constantly asked my brother for all of the interesting storyline tidbits.
...And it frustrated me that he refused to reveal all of the juicy stuff. So one day, as I was sitting on the couch with my DS, I was talking with my brother about how a second PW game was going to come out sometime in the future, and somewhere in this conversation I realized that I didn't have any other video games to play at the moment so I said "Darn it, gimmie that game, for I had might as well see what all the fuss is about!"
...Or something like that.
He gladly agreed to let me borrow the game, and I was hooked ever since Case 1. I remember waking up every morning and playing for a few minutes before going to school and yelling "objection" at my friends. ...Which is highly ironic, since I never once yelled at my DS.
So now as I look back, I feel like a jerk for not being open-minded about the game and missing out on what is now one of my favorite video games of all time. I mean I got really into it by the end of the first game. Heck, I nearly cried during Case 4. Though... part of my emotionalness I blame on my fangirlism, but that game is seriously an excellent piece of work. And I'm glad that my brother didn't spoil all the cool stuff for me.
...But I still think Phoenix's hair is weird. =3
I'm more confused than Wellington with a bunch of bananas.

Admittedly, I tried resisting for a while, since everyone on the internet back in 2005 was all "LOL! Ace Attorney is so cool!" and I don't like following internet trends. Later, the guy I mentioned came to visit me and then played it in my view. It was cool.
It wasn't until a couple of months later that I wanted that game. I got the game eventually (after finishing GS3) and have enjoyed it and the other games in the series. :3

Wow, similar to my story. I got some Nintendo preview DVD and saw Phoenix Wright. I also thought it was stupid looking and didn't give it a second thought. Then I noticed all the great reviews on GameFAQs and how rare it was getting. So I thought I should buy a copy if I see it. Bought it at Game Crazy and loved it.

So in the July 2006, four months after PW was released (In Ireland). I picked up a DS Lite and PW. I thought that I would like TC:UTK better but I loved PW and when I eventually picked up TC a month or two later, I still played PW way more. And that is my story.

Yaah, but I still had the name behind my ears until the very beginning of 2007, where I finally made the decision to buy a Ds lite along with Phoenix Wright.
And yes, It was love at first sight

Both my parents are defense attorneys (albeit not criminal defense), so when my brother and I heard of the "lawyer game" that had just come out, it became a sort of running gag. We didn't really think much of it.
I received a DS this past Christmas, and my brother bought one for himself in early January. When he found out that I hadn't gotten any games along with the DS, he dragged me to Best Buy to buy Mario Kart. I honestly didn't really want it, so when we got there I just settled on poking around the DS section.
My brother mentioned Trauma Center to me, about how he heard it was a good game (read: FANTASTIC), but since there was only one copy and I only had a certain amount of cash on me, he let me have it.
He, on the other hand, was considering buying two games. Mario Kart was one, and he was checking to see if anything else interested him.
This was all happening just a few days after JFA had come out, and I, lo and behold, happened to spot a single copy of it left on the shelf. I was actually joking when I said, "Hey, look, the lawyer game. You can be like Mom and Dad."
He bought it.
The following weekend, I was bored (and a tad bit frustrated with Trauma Center as it was) and decided to pick up Phoenix Wright - you know, just to see.
I finished it in one day, as I recall. It was just that addicting for me.
So, by mid-February, both my brother and I had a copy of Trauma Center (he'd tried mine and snatched it up immediately) and both Phoenix Wright games between us (I had AA and he had JFA). They are referred to as the "doctor game" and the "lawyer game", respectively, in my house.
The Phoenix Wright joke has also evolved into asking my parents if they have "lawyer badges".
... I rather like that story, actually. X3

When the game neared release, I was in one of my "I haven't gotten a new game for a while" moods, so my interest in Wright was rekindled. I wound up buying it on the first day it was available at my nearby EB, before there was really any hype to it. After beating the first two cases on the day I bought it, I headed to the home of my sisters. From there Croik watched me beat case 3, after which she did some more digging and unearthed the Gyakuten Saiban roms to give them a spin. It didn't take long for both of us to be hooked. I think it might be the first time that Croik's gotten into a series that I reccomended instead of the other way around.

I think I read a review in some magazine, about Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All. And I thought like, "A lawyer game? Weeeird...." And approx. 6 month or.. um.. I dunno, later, I bought a DS, and the first game I bought is that.. thingy!! Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney!! Not the sequel.. I just bought it in. um.. last January this year! Why did I buy it? Because I didn't have any choice. XD
Hahah, I remembered my first impression when I saw Nick: WEIRDO. Ahahahahahah~ XD But after I played it (AND saw edgeworth *drools) I became.. Ooohh.. *drools*

Well, I was on GameFAQs. Y'know, checking Final Fantasy III DS board for Final Insanity. The guy who started the thread had a PW quote in his sig. I investigated. I found the ASCII art thread. I had to get the game, it seemed really funny.
So, my sister insisted I got a ROM of it, but I wanted to buy it. She did get a ROM, but I'll buy it for my birthday, now that Pokemon Diamond will come out a month after it...
And now I'm a fan, joined the fanlisting, gonna rename my PC after something related...
