"You get a limited amount of hints and the assistant crime computer along the way. The puzzle elements and mini games also add some challenging gameplay. You see something different each time as you progress to the ultimate goal of solving the mystery. You can conquer the mystery in rookie (not timed) or detective mode (timed). A third mode also opens up as gameplay progresses. The game doesn't end after the mystery is solved though. Multiplayer options include co-operative or competitive play modes in real time. You can also share the game through DS Download Play.
If you haven't experienced the PC series, you might at least reminisce about picture searches on diner place mats after playing Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir. This game is part of the new Touch Generations game series, which includes Wii Fit with a total cache of almost 20 games and still growing. Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir is an affordable title with great detail and high replayability."
"From puzzle games to their famous hidden object games, Big Fish Games has a very wide audience. Although their titles usually have universal appeal, I am personally not a fan of their past hidden object titles. The Malgrave Incident, however, made a few key changes that were very integral in my enjoyment of the game. Intrigued, I spoke to Shawn Seavers of Big Fish Games, as well as Masa Miyazaki and Azusa Tajima of Nintendo, asking for more information about the game's development and the partnership." -- Wiiloveit.com
BG: "Mystery Case Files.. Million Heir for the Nintendo DS is basically a puzzle orientated title where you examine rooms with the aid of your magifying glass and torch. Think of it as hide and seek or spot the difference with a twist. You make your way thought the story and locations by examing these rooms and uncovering whichever clues are relevant to that investigation - this element changes slightly with each play. Each room is broken down in to find x number of objects from the scene to unlock the next room or area. This will all seem very familair to you if you happened upon Interpol on XBLA last year."
Nintendolife writes: "If there's one thing that the Nintendo DS has excelled at, it's that it managed to expand the remit of the video gaming industry. Prior to the release of the Nintendo DS, Nintendo wasn't doing too well in Japan. With great software failing to sell well, Nintendo had to try to find a solution to their problems. The answer was innovative technology in the form of the Nintendo DS and Wii. However, great hardware needs great software to accompany it, so Nintendo introduced a brand new line of titles that were part of the 'Touch! Generations' series, a line that polluted the video game industry with casual games."
