Despite the obvious problems with trying to play a graphical text adventure in Japanese, I attempted the Ace Attorney Investigations 2 TGS demo. I was able to glean at least the premise and highlights of the first case: a politician is shot during a speech, immediately following the landing of his plane, and Miles Edgeworth and Dick Gumshoe are assigned to investigate it.
As tends to happen in these games, things got weird almost immediately, as my investigation led to a giant Steel Samurai balloon submerged in a body of water. That’s probably an important clue! Ace Attorney nerds will be happy to know that the Steel Samurai seems to figure heavily in this game — not only does that balloon appear in the first five minutes of play, but Capcom’s booth included inflatable Steel Samurai decorations, as well.
