Since becoming the youngest prosecutor in the country at the tender age of 20, Miles Edgeworth built quite a reputation for himself by putting away bad guys in short order. However, after several confrontations against Phoenix Wright, he has changed his approach to seeking the truth. Unfortunately, Wright was only the beginning of his troubles.
In Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, the flashy prosecutor in the wine red suit is plagued by a series of deaths that seem to follow him wherever he goes. To obtain the truth, Miles Edgeworth will take center stage in an exciting suspense-filled drama that requires him to dive into the mysterious world of crime scene investigation.
Ace Attorney Investigations sheds light on the other side of the judicial system with a whole new gameplay dynamic to the world of Ace Attorney. As Miles Edgeworth, users will investigate various locations, work directly with characters on the scene, find contradictions, and get to the truth by presenting decisive evidence. Miles Edgeworth can also make use of the all-new Logic system, in which he chooses two pieces of information out of the various pieces he has collected and combines them to discover new information.

The Ace Attorney series is leaving the courtroom and taking justice to the streets. At Comic-Con International in San Diego, I had the chance to go hands-on with Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. Yes, that title is quite a mouthful. Here's the skinny on the super-sleuthing adventure as well as the word from my chat with producer Motohide Eshiro on this new direction for the franchise. Read More »
Chris Rock once joked that Michael Jackson showed up to court dressed like Cap'n Crunch. He obviously never played any of the Ace Attorney series, where the King of Pop's outfits would fit right in alongside circus clowns, psychics, and dominatrix-like prosecutors. One of the most famous characters in that universe, the cravat-donning Miles Edgeworth, is finally getting his own game. Hardcore Ace Attorney fans probably knew that Capcom was planning a new installment for DS, but there's a bigger surprise at hand: Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is coming much sooner than you think. As in, you won't have to wait a year after for an English-language version; it's coming in Q4 of this year. Read More »
