MillionHeir breaks out the puns
French site Wiiz has several screenshots of Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir, Big Fish Games' new detective adventure game and leading candidate for most groan-worthy pun-based title of 2008.As we know next to nothing about the game (typically for a Nintendo-published title, little has been revealed, despite its release date of September 8th being really close), these allowed us to indulge in some detective work of our own. Grabbing our deerstalker and magnifying glass, we discovered that the game's shameless punnery extends to the characters (see: Cole Minor, a gem prospector), and that the DS's microphone will come into use. Whether you're for or against implementing the mic in games, it doesn't look as though developers are ready to give up on it yet.
Check past the break for more shots.

Mic usage = no purchase from me.

MCF on the DS? Worse idea ever...casual gamers will lap it up though and it'd make millions, since the MCF games are already making millions in the casual games sector.
The idea of pixel hunting on an itsy bitsy screen makes me dizzy. And the microphone? Probably for fogging up mirrors, blowing leaves away to reveal details, getting dust off dressers. Predictable.
