Given that she likes Apollo Justice, yes. Just let her know that Apollo was the fourth game in the series, and that the first three are something she can play.

The nice thing about AJ is she isn't spoiled to anything in the PW games.

I see.

@Cheebee I love asking silly questions, leave me alone.

@Lost I can't afford Layton and PW.. I have the first 2 PW games though.

Get Trials and Tribulations, it's the best game in the series.

Let her play the first two first, though.

Today, my little sister asked me "Is there a Apollo Justice 2?"

I missed that part.

Did she play Apollo Justice and liked it? If so, definitely would like the Phoenix Wright games. Apollo Justice is technically a 4th installment.

 

As for you, if you like storyline dectective-ish game, try Lux-Pain. It's dark and sad. Translation seems to have a lot of mistakes but nothing to make the game broken. They kept switching between first and last name and take a while to pick up with the Japanese-ish names to kick in.

I doubt she'd like something that dark.. and she doesn't know any Japanese.

Then again, she does love games like Doom and Saint's Row.



Pixel Art can be fun.

THE ANSWER IS YES



Nintendo is the best videogames company ever!

Lux-Pain
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ds/luxpain
Metascore: 4.8
User score: 5.6

That must be 1 of the few low scored games I enjoyed before looking up the scores, LOL.

The game story is quite dark and I actually felt sad playing it. It's very different kind of enjoyment but it's a good one after finishing Browser's Insider Story. Going from quirky funny to doom and gloom :)

Translation really needed some work, in some parts, they even got the names mixed up.

Punctuating the plot is above-average English voice acting during major cutscenes. The only issues with the voice acting are that there isn't enough of it, its low volume is sometimes drowned out by the music, and that the spoken dialogue does not match up with the text written on the screen. The spoken lines are always better than the written script, which often reads choppily and has some egregious spelling and grammatical errors. Some of these technical errors are acceptable, such as the posts on the cyber cafe's chat boards. However, seeing "Burse's Office" instead of "Nurse's Office" a couple of times, male characters sometimes being referred to as she (and vice versa), inconsistencies in character name spellings (particularly between the dialogue and the database), and text implying that the game takes place in America when it clearly takes place in Japan among other textual errors in the script proper lead me to believe that different parts of the text were localized by different people and the final product was not sufficiently proofread for consistency.

DS games are too easy for her? Get her Contra 4.

Kirby: Canvas Curse is a few years old and should be super cheap by now, and it's easy to play, has great stylus controls, but great hard level design and gets harder and harder. It is the perfect DS game.

The answer is always yes.

No. Introduce her to me.


Nah, to be serious. I think you should introduce her to Trace Memory, Hotel Dusk or maybe Professor Layton?

Most definitely.
