It's impossible to overestimate how important the RPG Maker community is to video games, so many classic games in the past 35 years were either made by the community or inspired by them. To see one of their main knowledge banks nonchalantly wiped away like this is disgusting.

I'm glad I went through Ace Attorney Investigations 1 again. It's not my favorite game in the franchise and my overall opinion on it hasn't changed but it does give you these classic AA logic moments and does have one of my favorite twists in the series even if it's not quite how I remembered it.

It's been forever since I've played the original version of Ace Attorney Investigations, but I'm finally going through the collection and it was nice seeing this small pack of references, something I never noticed (and probably wouldn't have been able to notice) on my first playthrough on the DS.
