Can I start playing Miles Edgeworth's games next or do I have to start with Apollo?

[Olto]

So i'm aware the release order is Apollo after the trilogy but timeline wise its Miles Edgeworth's games. If i start playing Edgeworth's games, will it spoil Apollo in anyway?

I like the idea of playing Edgeworth's story next since it flows right into it with no time skip lol

I dont think it will since its set before Apollo starts

You can play Investigations any time after JFA. There are never any story spoilers.

the edgeworth games take place after the 3rd game.

Are these games on Steam? If so could someone send the link?

No. The trilogy is the only one on Steam so far. You'll need to either find an original DS card for Investigations, since to my knowledge Investigations 1 has never been rereleased, or emulate them, which you need to do for Investigations 2 anyway since it was never released outside of Japan

The games are very easy to emulate and both investigation titles can be played after the third game as everyone else mentionned.

For the second investigation game you need:
-The fan made translation patch (started playing it a few days ago, it's very well made and I even forget it's fan made, even the sprites and evidence is in english).
-You can find a rom already translated, even though the people who made the translation asked that a already patched rom isn't uploaded.

In terms of story progression I can verify that there are no spoilers for Apollo Justice in investigations 1 (or even returning characters for that matter).
Haven't played investigations 2 yet, but playing those first 2 out of order shouldn't ruin anything, though investigations is a nicer return to form after Apollo Justice so I do recommend playing in release order if possible.

Edit * I forgot one case does reference a character that is in both games (not exclusive to Apollo Justice) and some of the jokes and references do play on your knowledge from that character in the future.

I like investigations games, maybe even kinda a bit more than original ones. Second one was brilliant. Beat them on emulator using my phone and right now re-playing first one on phone too, but bought in google market.

I like playing as Miles (When I first saw main game I tought he is main character in series, because he looked cooler) and those games are not such boring during investigation moments and you don't need long wait till debates moments. I prefer more to move freely on locations from third person view, than from first one.

I think it's better to play them after Trilogy, since there is some little references or reapering characters. but no spoilers.

Apollo is set after like a 7 year timejump.
The Edgeworth games at most reference a fictional country brought up in Ace Attorney 4, but knowing of it has no bearing on anything.

Aren't some of them on mobile atm?

All the games are on on mobile, basically (the second Edgeworth game port being Japan only).
