That particular bit Henroid is first acknowledged in the third case of the game. In fact as soon as it came up I knew some part of case five, even though it didn't make sense at first...
The Wii isn't the only new venue into which Phoenix Wright is expanding his legal business. Today, at the Apple Store in Ginza, Capcom revealed a version of the first Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney for iPhone and iPod Touch. It uses the same unaltered Game Boy Advance graphics that have graced the DS and WiiWare versions, along with new "flick"-based controls. Finally, a device that can both play the game and the Steel Samurai ringtone!
Capcom didn't offer date or price details for the release. For reference, the WiiWare version of the first episode is priced at 900 Wii Points in Japan (with a 300-point charge for the extra fifth case) and 1,000 in North America (with the last case as a 100-point download).
Yes. It's the best case in the first game, and second best case in the series imo.
Really? I loved the first 4 chapters, but the fifth has kept me from proceeding with the series. I sit down to finish it and I am just disappointed that is doesn't feel as fun as the others.
The first witness is a ball buster, probably took me longer to puzzle out her pattern than anything else in the series. Makes sense though as it was the last case developed in the original series, and the one right before it (3-5) is almost as hair raising in parts.

The fifth case is unnecessary to finishing Phoenix Wright's story arc. If it bothers you so much, just move on to the second game.

I had the same issue as you as it starts slow and throws a whole bunch of new characters in your face.

Looks like this is coming to the iPhone as well, I'm as happy as can be. These were the only games I really missed after selling my DS, so this works great for me.
Pheonix Wright: Definitely a likable goof, and occasionally badass guy. It was funny seeing him squirm like a fish out of water and st-st-stammer about basic crap like cross-examinations. But then of course, his testosterone surges like a flood when spouting OBJECTIONS!
Mia: Oh my oh Mia! Phoenix is a lucky guy to have her for a mentor. Brains and boo- *ahem*.
Judge: I know this guy is supposed to be a parody of the Japanese court system, but man, the guy couldn't see the obvious if it was kicking down his front door with a Bowie knife.
As for the 'gameplay' itself, I burned through a few exclamation points before I solved the case, but I realized this is a game you really have to take your time with and not make wild guesses. The toupee in the face was pretty awesome though.
The style is fantastic, you really get the sense of a courtroom 'battle' with all the action cliches, one liners and dramatic poses that go with it. The music is awesome too, since it builds with every part of the case you crack. Especially the "boss" music when you get close to solving the case.
Mia: Oh my oh Mia! Phoenix is a lucky guy to have her for a mentor. Brains and boo- *ahem*.
Looking forward to part 2.
No, you're not.
I don't remember the second case in the first game. Is that the
Steel Samurai one?
Now that manwiththemachinegun has started it:
It's the case where Mia is murdered.
Having played everything up to Apollo (half way done with that), its weird that such a huge case in the scope of the series is the one that I remember nearly nothing about. Maybe it was because I was still learning the ropes, but that case was just so boring to me.

Stick with it. The payoff is awesome.
Yeah the first time I played the game I got about halfway through the second case and then put the game down for a year. When I came back I played the whole case and thought it was awesome. Stick with it.
Okay, I'm up to cross examining the Bellboy for case 2.
Maya: Seems like a nice enough girl, but more than a little scatter brained. I'm not sure if this goofy 'spirit medium' stuff is really fitting with the setting though.
Miles Edgeworth: Smooth criminal, without the criminal part anyway. Definitely falls into the 'worthy adversary' category quite nicely. Plus, you gotta love the fluffy neck thingy.
Dick Gumshoe: Retardation given physical form.
Miss April: Cracking her down bit by bit was hysterical. Especially with her LOOK AT MY BOOBS! LOOK AT THEM! technique for recovery from cross examining.

I'm with you on that one, but you'd better get used to it. It's only going to be a central theme in every case for the next three games.
Okay wait, this is weird, I'm not sure what happened.
So apparently I "lost" case 2 when Phoenix was on trial after the glass stand section, and then the ghost of Mia appeared through Maya and told me about the receipt. I had only just finished scrolling through all the questions and the game cut off. Now I'm back with the receipt from before. Was that supposed to happen or did the game take pity on me and point out a clue? If so, that kinda sucks because I hadn't even gotten a chance to present my cross examination.

It was supposed to happen. There's a few spots across the games that are basically the equivalent of those RPG fights you're supposed to lose, where you don't have the evidence you need and you just need to figure out how to stall until said evidence magically falls into your lap.
So, how does this stalling mechanic work? It's not explained very well.
I was a little bummed the game went right for the Mia/Maya resolution and completely overlooked Edgeworth's reaction to losing his first case. That would have been something to see. All in all, a very important story case. It did seem though like the villain caved too quickly.
Also, is it possible to 'miss' important evidence in the investigation phase? I find myself scanning every square inch of every room for clues so I don't screw myself over.
In all, this case was a lot more stressful than before due to Edgeworth flattening pretty much every point I raised. I was stuck for 15 minutes over what to ask April about...

I went with check in, are there other answer to that one? I thought maybe it would reveal a time discrepancy but instead revealed the existence of Mr. White.

You mean go into court without the evidence you need? No, the game will stop you from leaving the investigation phase.
So, how does this stalling mechanic work? It's not explained very well.
The "Press" thing during cross-examination? It allows you to get more information on a particular point. Often this is key to solving the cross-examination, sometimes it leads to penalties for wasting the court's time (you'll usually be warned if this is a danger.) It's almost always worth doing if a cross-examination isn't immediately obvious, or if you just want to get some additional humorous dialog.

Keep playing the game. You'll be seeing a lot more of Edgeworth, and his storyline gets a lot more resolution in future cases. The later cases that focus on Edgeworth are widely regarded as some of the best cases in the entire series.
Oh yeah, that. Yeah, got some good reactions. Made me feel a little swell of Atticus Finch.
I'm really loving the "persecution" complex Phoenix has, since literally everyone in the system is out to get him. Much like real Japanese defense lawyers or so I've heard.
Yep. The scary thing is, these games are more or less pretty much how the Japanese legal system works. creative license for humor aside.
Prepare to be surprised at the quality of the characterization as you go, by the way. It's so cute watching this from fresh eyes.
EDIT: Relax with the questions and just enjoy the experience, the game is INTENSELY linear. Part of the magic is how well the game disguises the fact that really, there's only one way to go.
Well, I'm not totally clueless about some of the characters. I know about Godot being hailed as one of the best villains in the series and the sex god lawyer from Apollo Justice. But, the context of it all alludes me.

It's about as long as two regular non final chapter cases, so yes.
Yes. It's the best case in the first game, and second best case in the series imo.
This makes me happy

I'm looking forward to seeing where all these legendary memes have come from.

Yes, that sort of makes the original GBA release of PW1 kind of a ripoff with only two real cases...
