Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth Hits DS This Winter

April 28, 2009 1:04 PM

The fifth entry in Capcom's beloved Ace Attorney adventure series is coming to North America and Europe in Nintendo DS form this winter, the publisher announced today.

Instead of Phoenix Wright or Apollo Justice, this entry centers on the recurring Miles Edgeworth character. And whereas previous games had players examining portraits of crime scenes in first-person, this one lets players walk around in third-person.

Another change is that most of the game takes place in crime scenes, not court, with its full title--Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth--reinforcing the investigative focus.

  I'm just about to wrap up Phoenix Wright 3. Excited to finally get to Apollo Justice.

    AJ is awesome, but it doesn't come together until the end really. There's a few fluff moments that sort of make it feel dull overall, but I loved the last case.

    The prosecutor in Apollo Justice is hilarious, but Apollo himself is a bit of a weak character at times. Still a fun game!

    The last case in Phoenix Wright 3 is insane. I loved every bit of it. Apollo Justice is great as well! It will be interesting to see a shift in the gameplay for these games, however the courtroom drama is what hooked me the most.
