Release Date: September 6, 2024
A collection of 2 remastered point-and-click adventure games from Capcom. In Ace Attorney Investigations Collection we play as Miles Edgeworth, investigating crime scenes and solving puzzles. The remaster offers refreshed graphics and a story mode with no difficulty.
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is a compilation of remastered versions of two detective adventure games from Capcom, which are spin-offs of the best-selling Ace Attorney series. The package includes Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit, originally released for the Nintendo DS console and mobile devices. It's worth noting that the second of the above-mentioned titles was never released in the West in its original form.
In Ace Attorney Investigations Collection we play the role of Miles Edgeworth, a valued prosecutor whom fans could meet in other games under this banner. In the first part of the series the protagonist leaves the courtroom and heads to crime scenes to investigate criminal mysteries. In the second installment he must face new challenges, while trying to keep his job.
In Ace Attorney Investigations Collection we watch the action from the side, from a camera positioned high above. We are dealing with pure point-and-click adventures, so the pillar of the gameplay is searching crime scenes for clues and evidence, as well as solving puzzles.
We also push the action forward by conducting conversations with NPCs, including witnesses of the investigated crimes and those suspected of committing them. The Mind Chess function deserves a special mention, which allows us to engage in unique mental battles with people we talk to. Successful conversations lead to extracting additional information from them.
When preparing this compilation, the authors did not fail to introduce additional functions. History feature allows us to return to previous dialogues, as well as to already completed chapters or scenes. In addition to this, an automatic gameplay is available, in which dialogues take place without our participation. There's also a story mode, where the protagonist independently solves subsequent puzzles, and we only observe his actions. The list of novelties is topped by a gallery containing various illustrations, animations, as well as a soundtrack from both games.
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection stands out from the original thanks to its refreshed, hand-drawn graphics. The authors focused not only on the location designs, but also on the character sprites. We can also switch back to the original, pixel art appearance of both games.

Game Ratings for Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Video Game.
TheGamer: 4.5 / 5 by Ryan Thomas Bamsey
With the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, we’ve reached a landmark point. Every Ace Attorney game is now A) available to play in English and B) playable on modern hardware. This is an exciting time to be a fan of silly yet complex, dramatic but comedic visual novels filled with anachronisms, legal ridiculousness, and cravats. That we reach this point thanks to Miles Edgeworth and the two fantastic games that bear his name is only fitting, as he’s always been a fan favourite. This duology makes a wonderful case for the life, longevity, and continuation of the series, and it’s not to be missed.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection finally completes the Ace Attorney series of remasters, and does so with possibly the best two games in the series! The move from the courtroom to the crime scene creates a far smoother and more cohesive narrative experience that really allows the twisting mysteries to shine like never before. Coupled with some excellent quality of life improvements, a bevy of bonus content, and some enjoyable new mechanics, it would be a crime to not indulge in this collection.
Hardcore Gamer: 4.5 / 5 by Kirstin Swalley
While every other Ace Attorney title released to modern systems before this did see a good number of improvements, Investigations by far sures them and even gives fans a welcome inclusion as well.
