Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit

Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit (逆転検事2, lit. "Turnabout Prosecutor 2") is a video game in the Ace Attorney series for the Nintendo DS. It was developed and published by Capcom, and was originally released on February 3, 2011, eventually getting a full international release as part of the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection in 2024. It is the sixth game in the Ace Attorney series, and a direct sequel to Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.

The player again controls the renowned prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, as he takes on five new cases that see him reuniting with familiar faces from earlier Ace Attorney titles, and interrogating a new collection of witnesses and suspects. The player follows Edgeworth as he investigates crime scenes, gathers evidence, and pieces together logic, in order to find the truth behind each incident. An old acquaintance of Edgeworth's father also appears, and forces Edgeworth to consider which path he truly wants to follow - that of the prosecutor, or his father's footsteps and his childhood dream of becoming a defence attorney.

As you may have come to expect from the Ace Attorney series, you don't need any knowledge of the justice system or investigation procedures to be able to play this game. You have to find the culprits behind each murder through investigations, confrontations with other characters, and plain old logic. There will usually be an innocent bystander being blamed for the crime, so you must prove their innocence and find the real killer. If you make too many mistakes, the wrong person will be detained, thus resulting in a Game Over.

It's a good idea to read through the Gameplay, Controls and even the Characters pages before starting.
