The Mystery Case Files games have a rather impressive pedigree. It is a series of casual, hidden object games created by Big Fish Games, primarily for Windows and Macs. The first entry was Mystery Case Files: Huntsville, back in 2005. There have since been seven computer games, four novels, one cell phone game and one DS game released. Now, for the first time, Mystery Case Files is appearing on a console with the Wii release Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident and it is an impressive showing…

I just found my mom’s birthday present. Nintendo has announced that, on September 8, 2008, Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir will be released on the Nintendo DS. The Big Fish Games title will require players to act as detectives, finding hidden items in painted scenes in order to discover who gets to inherit a million dollars.

So like the Mystery Case Files for computers, players will just have to find items from a list. The DS version adds some extra features though, that wouldn’t be possible for PC versions. The touch screen is used for searching, and the microphone will also be used throughout the course of play. Also Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir will be the first game in the series that will allow players to play the game with each other.
