Phoenix Wright Ported To The PC

Renowned video game lawyer Phoenix Wright is coming to the PC—in pieces. Capcom is going to port the original Phoenix Wright games that were released for the Game Boy Advance to Japanese personal computers. How? By delivering them in episodic chunks. The first episode will be a free download, with subsequent episodes available at 120 yen. The total number of pieces you need to get to complete the puzzle? Seventeen.

Instead of selling each complete game PC Saiban will be broken into episodes. The first piece from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney goes live on March 18 and it’s free to download. The four chapters dealing with Wright, Edgeworth and the DL-6 incident are split into 17 parts. Since you only have to pay for 16 the total cost for the PC version is 1,920 yen ($18.75).

Will this delivery method reach North American shores? There’s no word on that yet, but you can be sure that Capcom might consider it if the Japanese version pays off. The question is this: will you download it?
