Nate, Sebastian, Jordan, and David gather to discuss PHOENIX WRIGHT: ACE ATTORNEY, Capcom's courtroom adventure game from 2005. We discuss visual novel aesthetics coming to the West, linearity in adventure games, and how flawless pacing and a brilliant localization can carry a game so far. Sebastian leaves a traffic court judge speechless, David wishes the game would have come out under its working title, "Boogie Woogie Innocence," and Nate shouts at his DS on crowded public transportation. 

Nate, Sebastian, Jordan, and Ryan gather to discuss -- or try to discuss, anyway -- NINTENDOGS and BRAIN AGE: TRAIN YOUR BRAIN IN MINUTES A DAY, two early titles from the Nintendo DS library. We talk about the unique features of the DS hardware, how Nintendo broadened the scope of who might buy a handheld gaming system, and some of the other DS games we played and loved. Sebastian slides right by a joke that Ryan is real proud of, Nate confesses to paying 30 American dollars for Yoshi Touch 'n' Go, Jordan has trouble with his 8s, and Ryan commits some terribly un-neighborly acts. Sebastian names his Nintendog after his spouse.
