Wii Release: Harvey Birdman - Attorney at Law

[Parsifal]

As was stated much earlier in the Ace Attorney Series Thread, the makers of "Phoenix Wright" were working on another game series using a certain famous television lawyer and the engine from "Ace Attorney"

"Harvey Birdman - Attorney at Law" will pretty much play like "Phoenix Wright" except that it would be more packed with the Adult Swim brand of humor, have cameos from other Capcom characters (the clip previously posted had Guile in the back of the courtroom watching the trial), and a whole lot of video/voice used during the actual game instead of "Ace Attorney"s semi-animated stills.

Originally just slated for the PSP and the PS2 (possibly avoiding the DS due to chip capacity and not wanting to compete with its own product) this game has just officially been announced for the Nintendo Wii. The oh so sexy simultaneous release occurs on November 13th.

The far more descriptive press release follows:

WII TAKES THE CASE - HARVEY BIRDMAN: ATTORNEY AT LAW COMES HOME TO ROOST ON THE LATEST NINTENDO VIDEO GAME SYSTEM SAN MATEO, Calif -- Sept. 4, 2007  Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, announced today that Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law™ is now coming to the Wii™ video game system from Nintendo. The Wii version of Harvey joins the previously announced PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) system versions of the game. The Wii version of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law will carry a suggested retail price of $39.99, while the PS2 and PSP versions will have an SRP of $29.99. Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law will be available for all three platforms on November 13.

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law is a fully animated interactive adventure game that merges the fun and mayhem of the popular Adult Swim TV show with Capcom's unique style of gameplay. Players will step into the shiny wingtips of Harvey Birdman, a third-rate superhero turned third-rate defense attorney charged with exonerating parodied classic cartoon characters.

Over the course of the game, players must guide Harvey through a series of odd and comical cases. Each of the game's five interactive stories takes the winged crusader of justice to familiar locations from the TV show. In order to prove his client's innocence, Harvey must peruse the scene of the crime, gather evidence, talk with other cartoon characters, occasionally have drinks with opposing council, and of course, tear holes - no matter how ridiculous - in the testimony provided by the witness for the prosecution. Harvey must bring the whole story together to defend his client in a court where anything can happen... including a confrontation with the prosecution who brandishes a Shrink Ray Gun. With outrageous gameplay and the comical antics of hilarious animated characters, players and fans alike will feel that they are not just taking control of a character, but actually taking part in a brand new episode of Harvey Birdman.
