After remastered starring Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice and Ryunosuke Naruhodo, it’s finally Miles Edgeworth’s time to shine; Capcom has unveiled the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, which will arrive on PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Switch on September 6.
The newly announced collection includes two volumes of Ace Attorney spin-off adventures led by Miles Edgeworth – both of which involve a mix of the series’ usual crime scene investigation and courtroom cross-examination – starting with Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, which originally released for the Nintendo DS in 2009.
It’s the second included title that’s perhaps the most exciting, though, given that Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit – which initially launched for the DS in 2011 – has never had an official release outside of Japan before.
Both games in Capcom’s Ace Attorney Investigations Collection will feature HD visuals created by the series’ original character designers, and there’s also talk of more fluid character animations – and richer expressions – too. However, players who want something closer to the original experience can switch between the new and classic sprites if they wish.
Other quality of life upgrades include a conversation history – so players can review important character conversations during their detective work – as well as a story mode that effectively does all the gameplay bits automatically, allowing players to focus entirely on the story. And finally, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection features a gallery mode that includes sketches, animations, promotional art, all 106 in-game background tracks, 23 orchestral tracks, one completely new track, and five newly arranged tracks from the first Miles Edgeworth game – and the latter can be switched on to replace the original music if that’s more your thing.
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC (via Windows and Steam) when it launches on September 6.
