There’s a new attorney in town… and his name is Apollo

Apparently in Japan, all lawyers have some weird spike formed out of their hair. Weird.

Many of you fans of the hit Nintendo DS game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney will be quite happy to know that a new Ace Attorney is going to be produced. However, Phoenix Wright won’t be the attorney screaming “OBJECTION” in really inappropriate places. Phoenix will be replaced by a dude named Apollo Justice, which is probably the gayest name ever for a lawyer, but who am I to judge?

According to this article over at Adventure Gamers, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney was featured over at the Japan Expo to a crowd of what I’m guessing is astonished on-lookers. Or maybe I’m just embellishing it.

Apollo will be coming out of the upcoming Phoenix Wright game, Trials and Tribulations, as a new hot shot lawyer that everyone wants to be. Trials and Tribulations is due to hit the US in September of 2007, so don’t expect any new hot shot lawyers until at least sometime in 2008.
