Ace Attorney Investigations Collection coming in multiple platforms

The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection brings two remastered adventures featuring Miles Edgeworth, the renowned prosecutor known for his courtroom successes, to Western fans of the long-standing Ace Attorney series. Unlike the familiar courtroom battles of the Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice games, this spin off collection offers a new perspective. Players take on the role of Edgeworth himself, engaging in third-person investigation by meticulously examining crime scenes, analyzing evidence, interviewing witnesses, and piecing together clues to solve the case. The first game, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, enjoyed great success in Japan upon its release. It reintroduced fan favorite characters such as the tech-savvy investigator Ema Skye and the endearing detective Dick Gumshoe.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection – Reveal Trailer

In 2011, many fans expressed their disappointment when Capcom opted not to release Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit in the West. The game boasts a unique feature called Mind Chess, allowing players to experience Miles Edgeworth’s method of interrogating witnesses and suspects. Furthermore, the introduction of the first female judge in the Ace Attorney series was eagerly anticipated. Despite these appeals, some familiar characters from the franchise were notably absent, adding to the fans’ sense of loss.

Back when the defunct Capcom Unity forums were a lively place for passionate gamers, Ace Attorney fans were constantly asking  for a Western release. But Capcom kept quiet, leaving fans disappointed. Years went by and people started to lose hope. The sequel became something that Western players could only dream about, as it was only available in Japan. Now, after 13 years, the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is finally here. This collection includes the much-awaited sequel and the first game, giving Western fans a chance to catch up. It’s a big deal for fans who were feeling left out after the last game and brings new excitement to the Ace Attorney world.

The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection finally brings the highly anticipated sequel alongside the first game to Western audiences, providing closure for fans who felt disconnected after the Apollo Justice era and breathing new life into the beloved Ace Attorney universe.

The games have been remastered with improved HD visuals and quality-of-life enhancements, offering a visually stunning and enjoyable gameplay experience. Longtime fans will be delighted to see the return of iconic characters from the original Ace Attorney games, with the collection reflecting the passage of time by showcasing interesting updates to these familiar faces.
Whether you’re a long-time fan of the series or new to Ace Attorney, the collection will grip players with challenging mysteries and the excitement of solving cases with the iconic character, Miles Edgeworth. So pick up your magnifying glass and get ready to uncover the truth!

About time! It always bugged me that the West never got the second Investigations game. Having both titles bundled together is a smart move. I gotta admit, I'm curious about this "Mind Chess" feature. Sounds like a unique twist on the usual interrogation gameplay. Plus, a new judge? Always cool to see the Ace Attorney universe expand. I'm definitely getting this collection to complete my Ace Attorney experience. Now, if only they'd remaster the spin-off games like Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright.

I love the courtroom battles in the Ace Attorney games, but I wasn't a huge fan of the Investigations spin-off on the DS. The detective stuff felt a bit slow compared to the fast-paced trials. Maybe this remaster will improve the pacing a bit.

Hopefully, they've ironed out any clunky controls or tedious mechanics from the original games.

OMG! Is this for real?! They're finally bringing Prosecutor's Gambit to the West?! Remember how bummed we were when they only released the first Investigations game here? I practically wore out my copy waiting for news about the sequel. This feels like Capcom is giving us a giant "sorry we broke your heart" hug! So hyped to dust off my detective skills and play as Edgeworth again. September can't get here soon enough!

OMG! OMG! OMG! Is this for realll?! Prosecutor's Gambit is FINALLY coming out here? Remember way back when, like forever ago, they only released the first Investigations game? I was SO pumped for the sequel, but then Capcom was like "Nope, not for you guys!" Ugh, so rude! This feels like they're finally making it up to us!

I wonder what they'll do with Hakari Mikagami? "Balance" or "scales" would be perfect for a judge, but finding something that's also "sexy"... that's a challenge. Maybe they'll go over the top with it, like "⚖️ Justice von Scales ⚖️"? Haha, nah, probably not. But seriously, the localization team's got their work cut out for them. I can't wait to see what punny masterpiece they come up with!

Guys I am not sure if the Wiki is accurate but according to the Wiki Verity Gavèlle is the confirmed English name for Hakari Mikagami. It sounds refined, fitting for a judge, but it doesn't have the "sexy" vibe of the original name. Interestingly, "Gavèlle" sounds like "gavel," the judge's hammer. If its true, Maybe it's a subtle reference to the scales of justice, keeping the essence of the original name. It seems like the localization team really thought about this translation.

I'm super pumped about "Prosecutor's Gambit" finally hitting the West and making every mainline Ace Attorney game available in English. I've been waiting forever for this. What's even cooler is that this pretty much wraps up the ports, except for the Layton crossover, which feels like a whole other can of worms with Level-5 involved.

This means that whatever comes next for Ace Attorney has to be totally fresh! New cases, a brand new story – something we haven't seen before in almost a decade. The wait might be tough, but the idea of a completely new Ace Attorney adventure is pretty exciting. Fresh characters, mysteries to solve, and maybe even some new gameplay mechanics – the possibilities are endless!

Halleluiah! The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is coming to PC in September, allowing players to experience practically every mainline Ace Attorney game on modern consoles. The only game missing from the collection is Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright crossover. For completionists, this is a dream come true as they can now enjoy the courtroom battles with Phoenix Wright, follow Apollo Justice's journey, and experience the detective side of things with Miles Edgeworth - all on their preferred platform. It's exciting to think that the entire mainline Ace Attorney story will be readily available at our fingertips. Now if only we could convince Nintendo to release Professor Layton...
