    They actually went and made an official english version for Investigations 2. Neat.

    I think that with that, every Ace Attorney game is now playable outside Japan.

      Would be nice to see a new entry. I’ve been dying to see Apollo learn the truth about Trucy since finishing the second Apollo game.

        I hate to say this, but I doubt that will ever happen.

        It’s the ‘Kingdom Hearts’ issue. When you build on a plot thread across multiple games, you devalue a number of entries as a result. People want the modern convenience and superior design of recent releases, but also don’t want to be left out of central information. It’s why it’s hard to get people into the Trails series. To Ace Attorney’s credit, something they’ve done right in their games is avoid spoiling the central culprit of past games in future ones, even going so far as to only reference vague turnouts of past cases.

        It really, really doesn’t help that a large number of people consider AJ:AA to be one of the least satisfying games in the series (in part only because they almost all hit a high bar). So if anyone were to skip a game, that might be it.

      I’m so excited. Somehow I ended up starting with Miles Edgeworth and fell in love, but I didn’t finish it. Reading makes me sleepy. Maybe I’ll try to finish the first collection while I wait
