Although I was initially skeptical of the Nintendo DS when it launched (I thought it nothing more than an uninspired update to the Game & Watch franchise), I now continually give it much-deserved props – - mad props, even – - for bringing a healthy dose of quirkiness into the hands of Jane and Joe Gamer. Twenty years ago, no one would’ve imagined that a game detailing the exploits of a court room attorney would’ve been popular enough to spawn sequels without said lawyer knuckling up and taking justice to the streets. Yet, it exists and has spawned numerous sequels, including Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.
Available for purchase on 2/16/2010, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth stars, well, Miles Edgeworth, the legal rival of famed attorney Phoenix Wright. This time get gets to do the sleuthing, with some interesting features at his disposal.
- Gameplay moves out of the courtroom and onto the crime scene
- New investigative style using the Nintendo DS stylus to uncover evidence
- Several unique cases to solve with over 15 hours of gameplay
- New technique, such as “logic” mode assists you in uncovering the crime
- Unique dialog trees and interrogation techniques let you question witnesses to discover the truth
February is a whiles away, but you can drool over these screens til your digital court date.
