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: Miles Edgeworth and 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.
COGconnected: 80 / 100 by Stephan Adamus
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is an excellent remaster of two great visual novels. If you’re a fan of the Ace Attorney series, then these are must-play. If you’re new to the Ace Attorney series, then I recommend starting with the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy. My only complaint about these games is that they’re really similar to other games in the series, gameplay-wise. And they don’t have the series’ best stories. There are also only two games in this collection, when other series collections have three. But the price is right at $54.99 CAD, and they’re great games, despite not being the series’ best. The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is a loving remaster of two fun visual novels, one of which hasn’t been available until now.
PlayStation Universe: 8.5 / 10 by Joe Richards
While I wouldn't say that these are my favourite entries in the series, this collection of two games marks the official full English translation of the Ace Attorney, and that's something to be excited about. The amount of extra material is a treat for fans of Edgeworth and the amount of work that's gone into visually overhauling these two adventures is almost staggering. It's clear that Capcom is aware of the passionate fanbase and this hopefully signals a very bright future for the Ace Attorney franchise. Essential for fans of the series with some great deep-cuts for lore enthusiasts.
ZTGD: 9 / 10 by Jae Lee
Even though I still want Capcom to go the distance and really take the remastered Ace Attorney games to the next level by adding some level of VOs, the effort put into this remaster impressed me more than their previous attempts. As the games have aged very well, I’m just glad that all those that skipped Ace Attorney Investigations games or missed out of its sequel due to lack of official localization will now have the chance to experience a wonderful story that deserves to be remembered.
