Capcom's classic DS game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, may possibly be heading to the Wii if Germany's recent USK rating is to be believed. The game has been listed for Nintendo's white waggle box, meaning that players may very well be able to enjoy the defense attorney's adventures on a home console!
Rating boards like the USK and ESRB are often good sources of game information, and have revealed many games in the past. It's possible that this new listing is a mistake and was categorized for the Wii by accident. However, it's been very rare for these rating boards to steer us wrong, so while it's highly possible that mistakes could have been made, it would certainly be unusual.
The game was ported to the PC in Japan, so we know that Phoenix Wright assets exist in a larger resolution. It shouldn't be a big deal to create a Wii version, either for retail or as a WiiWare download. All signs point to it being a remake of the original game, which is no bad thing, considering it's kind of awesome.
Would you want to play Phoenix Wright on the Wii, or should it remain on the DS?

If it's a flat-out port, I don't care. If it's a port with new content, I might.
If it's a new game, I'll definitely buy it, but I'll be sad.
Really, playing this on the Wii would be weird, like reading a novel on your TV, pretty much. The reason I liked it so much to begin with was that it worked well to pick up and play. I could read tons of text at a book-like distance while on a bus, or waiting in a line, somewhere I had time to kill.
As much as I love the series, I don't particularly care for the platform choice.
I would really like a new game, though...
Regardless, there better be a control scheme involving a slamming action with the nunchuck, followed by a thrusting of the Wiimote.
Otherwise, I'm not buying it.
Oh, and throw in shouting via the Wii Speakamabob.
Please be a port.
A straight port to Wii? yeah sure.
Also, thrusting the WiiMote to object? Come on guys, that's Supa Technology!
Are you serious? Badass.
Wii balance board. I can totally see them implementing the vitality sensor.
I wouldn't mind waving my giant finger around with the Wiimote.
A new entry to the series, OBJECTION, the new games should be released in the DS
Please do not make a new one for the Wii!
I do not want to buy a Wii. T_T
Once it includes the Skye/Gant case, I'll be supremely satisfied.
