Capcom Brings Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney To North America

A Fresh Member of the Bar is
Sworn In for the Popular Nintendo DS Legal Adventure Series

Capcom Entertainment, a leading
worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that the
latest installment of its highly popular courtroom drama series, Apollo Justice:
Ace Attorney is scheduled for release in North America in early 2008. This is
the fourth game in the series and the first developed specifically for Nintendo
DS™ and sees a change of direction for the story line with the introduction of
new defense attorney Apollo Justice and a host of new characters. Apollo
Justice: Ace Attorney has been rated T for Teen by the ESRB.

Players star as rookie defense
attorney Apollo Justice as he visits crime scenes, questions key witnesses and
collects vital evidence before stepping into the courtroom to prove his clients’
innocence. Facing Apollo across the courtroom is the highly talented and
flamboyant prosecutor Klavier Gavin who, in addition to being a legal genius, is
also lead singer with Gavinners, a highly successful rock band with a string of
hits to their name.

He may be young and inexperienced
but Apollo’s confident manner and passion, coupled with his unique ability to
uncover witnesses’ lies by studying their body language, will prove invaluable
assets in the courtroom as he pleads the case for the defense. Thankfully,
Apollo is not alone and is aided both in and out of the courtroom by his
assistant Trucy, a mysterious female magician. Apollo also receives invaluable
advice from his mentor the ultra-cool Kristoph Gavin, elder brother of Klavier,
whose perfect logic and natural instincts have won him numerous cases and the
respect of his colleagues.
