Capcom’s Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth hits store shelves today

New Gameplay Takes the Legal Adventure to the Scene of the Crime
SAN MATEO, Calif. — February 16, 2010 — Capcom® Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, ships Ace Attorney INVESTIGATIONS™: Miles Edgeworth today on Nintendo DS™ for North American retailers. Ace Attorney INVESTIGATIONS™: Miles Edgeworth is the latest offering in Capcom’s successful Ace Attorney® franchise, swapping the courtroom stage for the crime scene and getting to the bottom of cases that will test the skills of eagle-eyed players with challenges developed uniquely for Nintendo DS.

Ace Attorney INVESTIGATIONS™: Miles Edgeworth sheds light on the other side of the judicial system by bringing a whole new gameplay dynamic to the world of Ace Attorney. By using Nintendo DS touch pad capabilities, users will guide Miles Edgeworth through various locations, examine and analyze clues, work directly with characters on the scene, find contradictions in suspect statements, and get to the truth by presenting decisive evidence. Miles Edgeworth can also make use of the all-new “Logic” system, in which he chooses two pieces of information out of the various pieces he has collected and “combines” them to discover new information. Ace Attorney INVESTIGATIONS™: Miles Edgeworth features several lengthy, interrelated episodes that will require players to use deductive reasoning to assist Miles Edgeworth in cracking the case.

As with the intense courtroom battles that have become a staple of the Ace Attorney series, using collected information and confronting suspicious characters, Miles Edgeworth will find the truth. With Capcom’s Motohide Eshiro at the helm (known for his work as the director of Onimusha® 2, Shadow of Rome®, and co-producer of Phoenix Wright™: Ace Attorney® – Justice for All and Phoenix Wright™: Ace Attorney® – Trials and Tribulations) this will be the best Ace Attorney adventure yet!

Miles Edgeworth is the famed rival prosecutor of court-house-dynamo Phoenix Wright, star of the first three Ace Attorney games. Since becoming the youngest prosecutor in the country at the tender age of 20, Miles Edgeworth built quite a reputation for himself by putting away bad guys in short order. However, after several confrontations against Wright, he has changed his approach to seeking the truth. Unfortunately, Wright was only the beginning of his troubles. In Ace Attorney INVESTIGATIONS™: Miles Edgeworth, the flashy prosecutor in the wine red suit is plagued by a series of deaths that seem to follow him wherever he goes. Miles Edgeworth will take center stage in an exciting suspense-filled drama that requires him to dive into the mysterious world of crime scene investigation.
