Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is a 2024 compilation video game of both games in the Ace Attorney spin-off series Ace Attorney Investigations, consisting of Software:Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth (2009) and Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit (2011).[1] It marks the first time that Prosecutor's Gambit was released outside of Japan.

Development and release

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection was announced in June 2024 during a Nintendo Direct.[1] According to producer Shunsuke Nishida, the collection was conceived as a way to release both games of the spin-off series on modern consoles and to localize the previously Japan-exclusive Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit.[2] The collection features newly drawn character animations, with the ability to change between the original and new sprites. It also includes a gallery where the player can view character illustrations, animations, design sketches, promotional art, and accolades, as well as listen to the music from both games.[3] Additional re-arranged music tracks for the gallery were offered as a pre-order incentive.[4] The collection was released on September 6, 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One.
