hey!!! hey you know what time it is!!! time to play one of the best and most forgotten gems from the ace attorney series! (missile says so and i trust him)
what is the ace attorney investigations 2? gyakuten kenji 2, or ace attorney investigations 2, is a sequel to spinoff game ace attorney investigations 1, and like that one, it has miles edgeworth as protagonist. it’s a little different from the main series in that miles tries to pwn everyone outside of court, and gets to walk around with a cute little sprite.
the game’s been out since 2011, but never was officially translated in english! fortunately, fans combined their powers to bring you a fantranslation, completed like, last year. because of all this, it’s definitely one of the lesser-known games, though!
why should you go through so much trouble to play this one game?
a large part of the story revolves around miles edgeworth’s background, and it does a lot of character building for him! the miles you all know without aai2 context is just a flat character in comparison. sorry. you have to play aai2
and in case you thought aai1 was a little boring; miles “logic” ability gets an upgrade here and now you can do “logic chess”, which is a lot cooler. miles finally joins the lawyer superpower club
you even get to play as miles edgeworth’s dad, gregory edgeworth, who is a lovely and relatable old man. you get to learn more about dl-6′s origins! it ties a lot of things up!
the return of a lot of characters you love! not just kay, lang and even ema are in this one, but also quite a few friends and villains from the previous games are, besides the plenty cameos. even missile is in this one!! i won’t spoil who exactly returns, but i promise it’s a super good time seeing all of them again
the fantranslation is extremely well-made and the writing meets the official localizations’ standards of funny and clever. also you’ll finally get to be in on the “aai2 characters saying ass” meme
there’s already a small, but active fandom for aai2, so you can read my fics there’s already a lot of fancreated content around you can use to fill the void in your heart after playing, and you’ll likely make a few friends!
the story and characters are just really good n like i don’t wanna spoil you but they’re REALLY GOOD this was one of the most satisfying games to play (thumbs up)
the part where manfred von karma comes out of the candy castle
and how are you going to get in on this amazing game??? you can either download a rom and the patch, or watch a lets play! i’ll put all your links and options below the readmore!! you’re welcome!!
