Basically, the Ace Attorney games are point and click adventures. You play as a lawyer, usually Phoenix Wright, and must solve cases and prove your client innocent. You do this first by examining crime scenes with the stylus and touch screen, and gathering clues and information. When it's time to go to court, you listen to witness testimonies and must present the items and clues you've collected to catch the witness in a lie or mistake. By doing this, you'll unravel the mystery and solve the case.

Ace Attorney Investigations producer says that Capcom is making some plans about the Ace Attorney series that will make the fans happy...
The change from defense attorney to prosecution caused Capcom to change up the flow of the game in a lot of ways. First off - there are no courtroom sequences. This may initially come off as a terrible decision to fans, as the court proceedings filled with testimonies, penalty threats, plot twists, and epic volleys of OBJECTION! were the best part of the game, making the crime scene investigations stale and tiresome by comparison. The underlying problem with the former structure is just that; it alternated between heated courtroom scenes that held the vast majority of difficult choices and decisions with investigation sections that dragged on and failed to be interesting for the most part.
