Game Groups > Jake Hunter / Tantei Jinguuji Saburou series

A long-running series of crime investigation games originally created by Data East. The franchise is now owned by Arc System Works.

The first release in the series to be localized was the DS game Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles, a compilation of three Tantei Jinguuji Saburou remakes, which shifted the setting to the fictional American city of Aspicio and gave all of the characters new English names. This approach was similar to the then-recent localization of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. The next several games in the series used the same American setting and new character names until the 2018 release of Alternate Jake Hunter: Daedalus - The Awakening of Golden Jazz, which returned to the original Japanese continuity.
