\"bluebadgericon\"<\/a>The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney game series is my favorite series on the DS. The newest in the saga: Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies is out now this week on the 3DS eShop. I\u2019m a little sad that it\u2019s not getting a retail version, but if digital is the only way that Capcom could release it in the US and still make money, then I\u2019ll happily download it that way! Just need to get me a Nintendo Points card! Anyway, Phoenix Wright games are like point and click adventures where you search crime scenes to find clues and evidence, and then use what you find in court to catch witnesses telling lies. One of the best things about these games is the cast of colorful and fun characters, so in honor of the release of the newest game, here are my top five favorite Phoenix Wright characters!<\/p>\n

5. Franziska von Karma<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phoenix Wright has had many tough adversaries in court in the form of prosecuting attorneys. Many like Godot for his style, and Miles Edgeworth even got his own game! But for me, the scariest one to face in court was Franziska von Karma! She was the daughter of the guy who taught Miles Edgeworth everything he knows. She expects nothing but perfection, and she even has a whip and is not afraid to use it! Yikes! (See, I told you the characters in these games are crazy) She does have really cool blue hair, though. She\u2019d probably be higher on my list if she wasn\u2019t so mean and used that whip all the time.<\/p>\n

4. Mia\/Maya Fey<\/strong><\/p>\n

OK I know this is cheating, because that\u2019s technically two characters. But this is my list and I can do what I want. Those of you who\u2019ve played the game know that they\u2019re kind of the same character anyway. At any rate, Mia Fey was Phoenix Wright\u2019s boss and mentor, and she was really cool and nice and pretty, too. Even when she couldn\u2019t be around anymore, she still helped out Phoenix all the time. Shortly after the beginning of the first game, Mia\u2019s younger sister Maya became Phoenix\u2019s assistant. She\u2019s a spirit medium and a great sidekick to Phoenix Wright. I called her Scrappy Doo all the time because she had such unbridled enthusiasm for everything. In the new game, Phoenix Wright has a different assistant. I don\u2019t know much about what she\u2019s like yet, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019ll be the same without Mia and Maya around.<\/p>\n

3. Phoenix Wright<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s actually pretty unusual for me to like the main character in a game. I generally tend to lean towards side characters. For instance, in Mario games, I don\u2019t really like Mario much, but I like Toad and Luigi way better. Same goes with Sonic. Not a big fan of the blue hedgehog, but I like Tails and Big the Cat lots. But Phoenix Wright is really neat. Actually, he\u2019s kind of an idiot who bumbles his way through cases, but they kind of had to make him that way to give players more control over the situations in the games. He just makes being a lawyer cool, and I never thought any character could do that in a video game.<\/p>\n

2. Detective Gumshoe<\/strong><\/p>\n

This big, lovable lug really works for Miles Edgeworth, the prosecuting attorney, or whoever else is Phoenix\u2019s rival. But he ends up helping Phoenix out more, unintentionally. He\u2019s scruffy and doesn\u2019t make much money and always messes things up. But he also never gives up either. Plus he has a really neat theme song. I hope he shows up in the new game!<\/p>\n

1. The Blue Badger<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is actually a cartoon police mascot that the local police station created. But he ended up being so popular that in later games, the Blue Badger got a cast of supporting characters and even a theme park! Somehow, in every one of the games, the Blue Badger is a key piece of evidence in a case. And he\u2019s slightly weird and disturbing, too. But that\u2019s why I like him. I hope he shows up in the new game, too!<\/p>\n

Objections?<\/strong><\/p>\n

And those are my favorite Phoenix Wright characters! In the comments section, let me know what you think of my choices, and which ones are YOUR favorites! Anyone seen the live action Phoenix Wright movie that came out a while ago in Japan? I know it\u2019s probably horrible, but I\u2019d love to see it anyway. That\u2019s all for now! Later! –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
