News: Objection! No wait, this is great news.

Capcom has announced they will be bringing the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney series to the Wii as downloadable WiiWare games starting in January.

The popular courtroom adventures will make the jump to the Wii with all of the twisting storylines, evidence collection and cross-examination intact. Players will also make use of the Wii Remote to present evidence with a sweeping Phoenix Wright arm motion or press suspicious testimonies by wiggling it.

If you're unfamiliar with the Phoenix Wright series, here's everything you need to know about the games (and when you'll get to see them added to the WiiWare service):

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is the first release hitting in January. The story kicks off with Phoenix Wright defending his childhood friend Larry Butz from a murder charge. But this is only the beginning drama for the tenacious legal eagle as Wright faces unexpected tragedies that will test the limits of his incredible deductive prowess. In May, owners of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney will be able to download the bonus episode that appeared in the original Nintendo DS version of the game. It will cost 100 Wii Points.

In March, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All arrives. Phoenix Wright has six months experience and five court victories under his belt. But none of that will do him any good against the ruthless new D.A. in town. Franziska von Karma wants revenge and she's ready to take Phoenix down at any cost!

In May, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations arrives. Phoenix will face the toughest prosecutor yet as the mysterious hard-boiled УGodotФ is gunning for him with extreme prejudice. Get ready for the most intense courtroom standoffs of Phoenix Wright's career!

We'll have more soon.
