Capcom is never shy about porting their older games to newer consoles. This time it's both an enhanced port, as well as the first time we've gotten an official translation of something that's been left un-localized for over a decade.
Pre-Order the game here!
That's right;
both Miles Edgeworth: Ace Investigations games are being
re-released on all modern consoles (Nintendo Switch, Steam, Xbox and Playstation). HD and all! And this isn't just your typical upscale. It has both upscaled sprites of the close-up shots,
and of the overworld sprites. Switchable at any time you like, whether you want the authenticity of the original DS Console, or if you want to see the full art at its maximum capacity!
Many fans may already be familiar with the
fan translation that was finished a few years after the original game. It was incredibly well done, including voiceover dubs and more. As a personal fan, I think a lot of people would agree that
Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Path was, in many ways the best Ace Attorney game there ever was. A grand finale of the pre-Apollo generation that ties together even details of the DL-6 Incident, as well as ties together all five of it's cases in very intriguing and original ways. This time, the sequel is being titled
Prosecutor's Gambit, likely in reference to
Logic Chess; which they have also changed the name of, calling it
Mind Chess.
However, it may be difficult for those who played the fan patch to be comfortable with the realization that the new names of the characters have already been announced to be different.
Justine Courtney is now
Verity Gavèlle,
Raymond Shields is now
Eddie Fender, et cetera. However keep in mind, the fan names were already different from their original Japanese meanings.
The release date is
September 6th, priced at $39.99. Capcom has been on fire lately!
The game also includes many of the extras that the other recent remasters have received, such as a Concept Artwork Gallery and Jukebox. It also includes a new
Character Compendium, where you can view the animations of every character all in one.
Perhaps one of the only port left to add to newer consoles now would be
Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright. We do have a new Layton exclusive game coming up next year, so perhaps that could raise the liklihood for a
Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright port! But that is just a theory.
