Looks like the Phoenix Wright steam train is really picking up... er... steam at the moment, with the announcement yesterday and now the first screenshots of the rookie lawyer's transition to WiiWare.
One thing you'll notice is that it looks absolutely identical to the GBA/DS versions of the game, with very little in the way of smoothing or consideration for the Wii's improved power. The only redrawn element shown so far is the screen showing you the command for Objection, which looks like being worth the price of download alone.
Check out the first screenshots in the gallery below. Court is adjourned!

may get this. i haven't played any yet.
This is going to be more embarrassing than the DS objection.
So they will use new artwork with the old one?
i hope it will blend good...
^As you in the DS version, you didn't really need to shout OBJECTION! to present evidence, on the wii version is the same thing with the motion (for the looks of it, you can just press - )
This version is really for people who didn't play AA, (Phoenix says: -BUY IT!).
For others, let's just wait for Miles Edgeworth:AAI
Well isn't that disappointing. If they did everything like that screenshot it would be great, but this is just very, very lazy. Are you sure that it isn't a DS screen? I even see a blue border, what's the deal with that?
@Sneaker13
No it isn't,
here a vid from gamespot.

Wow, just wow. I'm so disappointed. I've seen screens of the PC version which looked gorgeous. And for WiiWare they just take the DS screens with a moving border, no extra's and waggle control. I'm really disappointed.
Never gotten to play one before so... DO WANT.
I hope they change the font for the onscreen instructions between then and now. Isn't that one of the Windows default ones? Looks rather... early beta.
Never played a Phoenix Wright game. Might pick this up since it'll be cheaper than the DS versions.
Indeed pretty disappointing...why not do a serious remake with enhanced graphics. Instead they are using the GBA/DS graphics in it. Better stick with the DS versions I guess...

I never got around to these games, and for some reason I believe I'll have much more motivation to play them on the TV, so it's good news for me.
looks just like the portables, which is good, because i've always been interested, but not interested enough to buy one. but for the price of a downloadable game....
but, would this require Wii Speak to object? because that would probably make this a no-go for me... at least until i got a Wii Speak.
Whaaaaat? Identical resolution of 256x192 pixels from the DS? Direct port? OBJECTION!
This is just lazy! I would rather play the games on my DS then on Wiiware. It looks much better on my DS than this. So I got to say OBJECTION!
So...is this the first game?
Don't care about the visuals. They don't really need touching up as long as they look "ok" when ported. The gameplay is the real meat.
Yes fans wanted Phoenix Wirght on the Wii...either a new game or an old one with updated graphics. This is neither. The way this is going I see 2001 Phoenix Wright becoming the new 1995 Morrigon for Capcom.
But to the people who have yet to play the games, live it up an enjoy.
@Smileoscar: yes, those screenshots are from the first game. I'm disappointed the graphics won't see an overhaul (or at least some smoothed edges...?), but it probably won't get in the way of me purchasing the first game, at least.
spoken like a truly shameless fangirl, i know... D:
I won't be purchasing these, as I'm not so big a nerd as to buy the same game for multiple systems (usually) but I do urge anyone who has never played the DS games to try out the WW versions as they'll be cheaper and easier to obtain. I myself will save my money for the upcoming release of AA Investigations.
Point and Click games are not my type of Games, so i'm not getting this.
I see that are some confused persons about the PC version, the one that was released that is, not "new/rumor" projects.
It's only in japan, it's the port of the GBA version (Wiiware is the DS one), and it's only the 1-4 cases from the first game. No Skye's Case, No Justice for All, No T&T.
I already played them, but i don't own them, i will gladly pay for them.
And as you might see, this version is ideal for everyone that didn't played the series, it's very cheap for a game is very hard to find and probabbly the copies you find are on full price.
EDIT: Actually Justice for All and T&T are also on JP pc, but as the other one, they are straight ports.

Here's a screen and post of the "High Quality" of the PC version of Ace Attorney, from Capcom Blog, as evidence.
Look on the bright side everyone, you can gift the games to your friends now to get them into this amazing series.
yeah, I love them all, it's great news for those that haven't played them but are at all interested. These are just classic. For old fans like myself it's hard not to be a little disapointed. It would have been amazing to see the same screens all smoothed out like the one screen with the remote. I won't get them in this form, though, since I did them on DS already (still working on the last one, so much fun). I have a pretty huge TV so those jaggys would be quite the eyesore.
Is this for real?

I might get this even though i already have it for DS. The DS version is my favourite game ever. Although if its just swinging the remote i might not.
I'm not defending Capcom, i love Capcom games, but i hate their business practices like pre-made DLC.
People spoke about an "HD" PC Ace Attorney that didn't even exist, that's why i posted that, manipulation of Info is what i hate.
And by your point of view, I can't play Pokémom because Nintendo made it for children, that's doesn't make sense. The ones who win with this ARE the NEW people to the Ace Attorney Series. The DS version is rare, and if you find a copy you will waste more money than this version, it's a fact not an opinion (in this matter).
facepalm Or you can't read, or you just want to argue...
I'm not saying that the game wasn't "made" for the fans in "mind", i'm not saying that the game was made for new players. I'm saying that the people who will win something with this ports, even if Capcom didn't port it for them as the representant said, are the ones who didn't play them on the first place, no matter Capcom says it's for "fans" or "aliens" or "dogs".
As you say if they used HD sprites etc etc etc... of course that would meet the "fans" expectatives. But since it's a port, AS I SAID BEFORE only people who didn't play will win somethig with this, a classic game for a low price deal.
Now, if you're not happy, instead of manipulate my comments to look what they aren't, just don't buy the game. i'm not Capcom, so i can't do anything as much i wanted, talking to me won't solve anything.
Theres only 1 thing to say release it soon i want to play part 2-3 quick
i well buy this so everyone can now sit and not worry
I would buy a remake of Apollo Justice only, that's the only game I didn't play yet.
