Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Expy: In GK 1, we have a crime syndicate that does practically every evil activity in the book being investigated by Interpol. Sounds a lot like Shadaloo.
  • Fan Nickname: Ace Attorney Investigations, before that title was bestowed, was called Perfect Prosecutor by the fandom (though early announcements in Nintendo Power magazine also used that name).
    • Gumshoe had been 'Gummy' to the fandom for years beforehand, but Kay makes the nickname canon.
    • All the characters introduced in AAI2 have been their own English names by the fandom.
  • No Export for You: The 2nd game (see 29:45). Immediately after Investigations 2 was released in Japan, the team of developers were disbanded and moved towards different departments to work on new games, so they were never given a chance to localize it. That doesn't mean that it'll be impossible to ever see it localized, but they can't make any promises.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • Concept art for Shi-Long Lang featured him shirtless, with the constellation of Orion scarred on his chest. Seems the director objected to the toplessness, even after a feather boa was added to cover the nipples.
    • Originally the concept of the game involved Ema Skye as the protagonist and the game would focus on forensics tactics.
    • Concept art sketches show that Quercus Alba's design went through a phase with him looking much more like a gnarly old tree.
