Usually the only way to check out demos of Nintendo DS games is to go to an official download center with a handheld console and download them. With the upcoming release of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Capcom decided to try something a little different and have released a flash-based demo of the newest Ace Attorney game that can be played directly online.

To play the flash demo, simply click on "New Game" below.



The demo introduces us to Apollo Justice and his mentor Kristoph Gavin, as well as a few familiar characters from the Phoenix Wright games. The playable section takes place entirely in the courtroom and contains part of the first case of the actual game, including a tutorial of the courtroom gameplay that has been used in every Ace Attorney game. The mouse is used to touch the relevant areas on the bottom screen instead of the stylus.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney is currently set for a North American release in the middle of February.
