Play Capcom’s Gyakuten Saiban 4 (otherwise known as Phoenix Wright 4) on a virtual Nintendo DS (actually Flash)!
This is a preview version (but you can play it) in Japanese.
From Wikipedia: Each episode (with the exception of the first case of each game) usually begins with an investigation. During these segments the player must talk to witnesses and search crime scenes in order to gather information and evidence for the trial…In these segments, the player must press witnesses for information in the courtroom and use evidence to point out contradictions in faulty testimonies to prove the player’s client’s innocence or guilt. Producing incorrect evidence leads to a penalty, and if too many mistakes are made, the player loses the case and must start over.

Here’s another Gyakuten Saiban 4 screenshot.

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
This would be pretty sweet if it didn’t require ultra mastery of the Japanese language!
Hung – I agree. I did stay and watch a few of the scenes and tried clicking around on stuff…but unfortunately I think somebody ended up getting ‘the chair’ due to my ineptitude with the language! ^_^
They should at least put in some furigana–makes it a little easier.
