I'm actually interested in how all of us came to become fans of the series.
My story: I didn't get a DS till Nov '05 and the first game I was interested in was Jump Superstars. I heard of PW at the time, but really didn't pay attention to it. Near the end of August of '06, I got a G6 Lite flash card and copied over the PW rom over to it so I can burn time away at a party. The first case was alot of fun and it was actually the 2nd case that made me become a big fan of the series. I started the 2nd case around 9pm the first night I played and didn't sleep until I finished it at midnight.
After beating the game in 2 weeks, I learned it was a rare item so I immediately snatched it up for $29.99 at a local gameshop and repeated the game again. After that I discovered this site and noticed that GS4 and JFA were already announced. Since I'm a collector, I went on a massive ebay/playasia binge and got the 3 GBA games and the best price GS:YG. I got the DS GS2, then the US JFA, and now I got the GS4 special edition on pre-order.
I have to admit it's been hard for me to really get into games in the past few years since the majority of them are just sequels of older titles that I like with very little innovation or new things added. However, PW won me over with it's brilliant storytelling, compelling twists, memorable characters, and most of all, it's excellent music. I would definitely say that PW's music is some of the best new school gaming music and definitely worthy of being on my top 10 list of game music. Plus PW revived the point and click adventure game genre which has been dead since the old lucasarts PC games. It's been a long while since I've felt really geniunely attached to a new game series.
So big thanks to capcom for making a series that I can genuinely get into rather than "I gotta own the latest cool game because everyone has it". PW's definitely another worthy series to the capcom greats like Megaman, Street Fighter, and Resident Evil. I've never spent this many late hours into the night wanting to know what happens next!
Post your stories everyone!

A year passes, and I still haven't found it. One day, completely out of boredom, I log on to the Gamestop site and search my location for stock, with a 200 mile radius. I find they have one 80 miles away, in the town in which my cousin lives, whom we were planning to visit the very next week!
A week later, we're up there, I walk into Gamestop, buy the game, a nunchuk for my Wii, and a car power adapter for my original DS. For $3. Because my DS was nearly dead, and I wanted to play so badly on the way home that night. I guess I found PW:AA from the reprinting. I was a bit hesitant to buy it, because, while I love adventure games, it just seemed a bit...odd. But I took the plunge, spent the money and...
Probably a week later, I've beaten PW:AA and am completely obsessed. I then proceed to preorder, play, and beat JFA in the coming months. And now here I am, waiting for more news on GS4 and impatiently waiting for Capcom to announce their localization of GS3.

Long version: Heard about it from a friend who heard about it on the internet. After my friend got & beat the first game, I borrowed it from him. Same with the second, actually...

Turns out, it's a good sign when a game shows up late from Gamefly, as it only happens with masterpieces. Elite Beat Agents showed up almost a whole week later then most games, and that game is GODLY!!!

After searching SO many stores, one night in December of 05 I came across AA in I believe a Gamestop. It was brand new too. :D
Needless to say, I purchased it, and I've been hooked since. :3

Then I watched a few of those Phoenix Wrong flash animations and a friend of mine recommended it to me.
Needless to say, I got hooked ^^'

sadly though, by the time i realized that, i realized it was almost christmas and thats when i decided that i could get for free by asking for it for christmas. well, long story short, i got it for christmas and got too much of a unhealthy addiction over the game since then.
On April 3, 2016, Court Records Forums experienced a miracle upon that day.
I feel the same

It went like this.
Proto's browsing EB Games at the mall.
Proto: Oh, what's this game? *picks up last copy of PW* Interesting! Looks pretty cool. I'll buy it!
Store Clerk: Last copy of the game! Here you go! All yours!
Proto: Yay!

Fast forward to November or early December, when I get a not crap computer. I start signing up for a whole bunch of sites and, once again, notice PW. I'm like, "Oh yeah, that game," and I try to find out what it's about, and then I ask for it for Christmas. I beat it in the following weeks after Christmas, and you know what happened from there.

I bought a white DS Lite the first day it was released in June. I usually go to Fry's Electronics to buy my DS games. For a while, I checked there for Trauma Center (the doctor game) and Phoenix Wright (the lawyer game). Several months go by and I never see either title. By the end of summer, I finally found Trauma Center. I thought it was interesting story and fun to play. A few months later, I actually saw the Phoenix Wright game, and bought it immediately.
Upon playing the first case of PW, I was hooked. The story was so much better than Trauma Center. I also realized that they never said anything about bananas in the game.
By the time I passed the game, I started looking for Phoenix Wright pictures and found Court Records. It was on this site that I found out that Gyakuten Saiban 2 was just released. Also, I hear that JFA would be released in January. I really don't order things online much, so I figured I'd just wait until January.
I happen to be at Fry's Electronics when I see a copy of Gyakuten Saiban 2 with a sticker on it that said that it was in English. I bought it, because I couldn't wait for January. It was $39.99, but oh well.
Then I heard that JFA was going to come with a Phoenix Wright Stylus from Game Stop, so I went and reserved that too. So now I'm still hooked on PW, and awaiting more from the series. I also found out that it wasn't bananas at all in JFA.

Wellington states "other than the victim there was a bunch of bananas lying on the floor."
Phoenix objects by showing the baseball glove and proving that he has bad eyesight and that he lost his glasses.

After getting a part time job for a while I decided to spoil myself and bought a DS lite with Advance Wars DS and ordered PW off Ebay.
Court Records has allowed my fandom for this great series to grow. Thank you CR

Fast-forward a year later, they haven't done anything. So I completely forget about the game until I see "Phoenix Wright : Attorney At Law". Unlike everyone who looks at the game, I know EXACTLY what this is and curse my lack of DS.
Later on in that year, I buy a DS (which I traded in for a DS Lite along with a TON of other stuff I wasn't playing. I also nabbed SMT:Devil Summoner and had 7$ over in credit), but GASP! Phoenix Wright is sold out. I place an order with the clerk (our place is pretty cool in that they have a pre-order system for games that are already released, and it doesn't cost you a penny. Flake too much on your orders and you can't do that anymore, of course. KYC procedures), pick up Trauma Center and Tetris DS.
Takes two months, then I get a call : "We got Phoenix Wright."
Trip takes 30 minutes by car.
I was there in 10.

I had seen many of those silly objections at the http://objection.mrdictionary.net site and I like the style of it, and wanted to try it out. I saw it in a shop and went on to buy it.

Well anyways, I forgot about the game and I went to the mall one day I guess like a couple weeks or something after PW came out becuase my brother was having a sleepover and they wanted to go to the mall and I was looking for a new DS game. I saw the PW game in the used section in EB and I looked at it and it looked cool. My family is a bunch of lawyers and stuff, and I thought, hey, maybe I can learn about some of the stuff my uncle did and stuff. So I asked the guy at the counter if he had a new copy, and he got a sealed one out (sometimes if you ask for a "new" copy they will give you a used one for some stupid reason) I opened it up, and luckly I had my DS with me. So as I sat eating my chick-fi-la, I started the game. I didnt pick my head up for a week, just playing the game.
I wasnt *GASP* going to get PW:JFA becuase I heard it was worse than number 1 but then I saw it at Walmart and bought it. Its probably even better than PW1.
I came to these (the older) forums a little while after getting PW:AA.
