I absolutely love Phoenix Wright. They're my favorite DS games of all time and I've played every one all the way through. Finishing the last Pheonix Wright was a sad, sad day. This list keeps bringing up absolute gems. What makes Pheonix Wright so great is the story. It's more like a modern text adventure. Pheonix Wright isn't accesible because the text isn't spoken though. There is so much text that the voice files wouldn't likely fit on a cartridge. Not to mention the cost involved.
Story driven accessible games are hard to make because SAPI kills any emotion. It was pointed out not long ago that accesible games voice acting can kill a great story too. It's tough. I think the only way to do it would to get a professional voice actor (or a few) to donate their voices to a game. What I meant by text games in regards to Dwarf Fortress was ascii. Like nearly all roguelikes, it's ascii based. But the point was that even in an industry dominated by intense 3D graphics, DF was adored by the gaming community even though the graphics technology was as old as the home computer itself. I don't believe sound games have to play second fiddle to mainstream games. I think they're a great way to innovate.
