Today’s Nintendo Direct has been one of this summer’s gaming highlights, showcasing numerous big reveals, including the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection.
The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection offers an exciting bundle containing two remastered editions of the series’ Miles Edgeworth-focused spin-offs, including the long-awaited debut of a fully translated and officially localized release of Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit. The spin-off sequel launched in Japan back in 2011 for the Nintendo DS and later in 2017 for Android and iOS but never made it overseas until now.
In both titles of the Investigations Collection, players follow prosecutor Miles Edgeworth as he investigates various cases, experiencing two different game phases: one where Miles searches crime scenes for evidence and interviews different witnesses, and another “rebuttal” phase where he attempts to find contradictions in testimonies using the proof gathered during the first phase.
Despite the second entry of the Edgeworth spin-off duo not being localized for over a decade, it was positively received by fans who had access to it. Various online threads and fan translations over the years have showcased the high interest among overseas Ace Attorney players in Prosecutor’s Gambit, and Capcom has taken notice.
Players can finally experience the full Ace Attorney saga when the Investigations Collection launches this year on September 6. The remastered bundle features the option to switch between a revamped visual style and the original pixel art, along with unspecified “bonus features.” Pre-orders are now open via Capcom, and as a bonus, fans can snag an extra five arranged music tracks for use in-game.
