After AAI2, I can only assume Gummy is just busy eating better food and being a great detective in between visits to Badd, helping Edgeworth and dodging Franzy's whippy whip tricks.

This is a good headcannon and I refuse to believe otherwise. I think Badd is more influential on Gumshoe than most folks realize because not everyone played AAI1

I want a Franziska-focused game where she's doing investigations for Interpol, maybe as a specialist for sensitive international crimes while she whips their foolish prosecutors into shape. Then it's museum date night with Adrian :3:

Yeah, Detective Badd is good.

I'd also play your Franziska game if she got to team up with Inspector Lang. He's cool too.

With all of this talk of Investigations 2, I finally got around to playing it (fan-patch,obviously). It is already amazing. I've run into this Revolver Ocelot motherfucker and his old associate Monocle Assassin Man . Can this get even more peak Ace Attorney? I hope so :allears:

Investigations 2 is in the running for the best AA game, which is impressive considering Investigations 1 is arguably the worst.

also what a rude way to refer to our old monocled assassin friend as though he doesn't have a name

AAI2 has some of the most creative murders and twists in the series, plus the format lends itself to locales that you don't typically see in Ace Attorney. Enjoy the ride.

Hell I may boot it up again, it's just insanely good.

The translation patch is also wonderful (And I'm not saying that just because I worked on it). They really went above and beyond to make it feel like an actual Capcom localization, from names to the tone to extensive graphical edits.

I did localization editing for a couple scenes. I took the raw translations and edited them for tone and flow, so basically in the scenes I did, you're reading MY words. I only worked on a couple scenes before I had to go back to school and that took up my time, but a contribution is a contribution. I did one of Kate's testimonies in the 3rd case and one investigation scene in the 4th. I remember more of the testimony than the investigation, though, alas.

You definitely do! It's amazing. I put it down partway through case 2 as well for the longest time and picked it back up months later. The later cases just blew me away, oh my GOD. It's an amazing game. Go back and finish it!

If you'd given me that thing and told me it was an officially localized Ace Attorney game, I would have believed it.

Ah that's pretty cool. The whole thing reads like an official release from beginning to end, so thanks for doing your part!

Really this and Mother 3 blew me away in terms of how throrough the translation/localization is.

I still have to remind myself that Justine Courtney, Sebastian and Blaise DeBeste aren't officially localised names because they're just so good.

There's a couple of important characters introduced in AAI1 that recur in 2 like the main assistant and an antagonist but I don't think the story of the game is particularly vital.

You don't need to but personally I think it's really good. Just not as good as the sequel. It's still more Ace Attorney you haven't played so for goodness sake what are you doing! There are few enough of them as it is to skip any.

Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!
The main issue with AAI is that some of the longer cases are kinda tedious and obtuse. Feel free to use a walkthrough.

It still has some nice moments. Gumshoe's first meeting with Edgeworth, the return of that horrifying police mascot...

For all its flaws I really liked AAI1, but I also really like edgeworth and gumshoe.

Dug out the flashcart and realized I was using a beta version of the AAI2 patch and now I'm back in case 1 with the final patch instead.

I forgot mostly everything like what this reporter lady's deal is among other things.

Investigations 1 gives us some great characters but the overall story isn't the best and the cases (barring 4) aren't very engaging. It's still a decent game and I would definitely play it before playing 2 just so you get introduced to all the characters. Or watch a Let's Play, at the very least.

There's a pretty heartfelt moment in the 4th case of Investigations 2 that will be lost on you if you haven't played the first one.

Also on a related note, it makes me pretty sad that there's a ton of people out there who missed out on Lang's backstory due to 2 never getting localized.

I felt bad for the flight attendant with poor design sense in Investigations. For some reason I remember her more than any of the other minor characters.
