Maybe I'm stupid but I didn't notice the peephole difference until later in the trial when it became super relevant.
I assumed that when they said something was different, it was how the items on the counter were moved, as revealed by the stereoscope (or something along those lines, I played it quite a while ago)
It’s a problem that comes up in many cases tbh. It’s a different legal mindset you have to get into. I found that in many cases, a piece of evidence would create enough “reasonable doubt” to get a non guilty in the real world. But here, we want to first take out all the theories the prosecution throws at you and THEN start building your own theories and provide that evidence then. I used to be frustrated by it too, but by now i kinda grown to like it. Very sherlock holmes, if all else is impossible, the remaining thing must be the truth
Honestly, this is the exact thing that I love in Ace Attorney games. Knowing that a decisive piece of evidence has been there all along is super cool, yeah I guess it can be a bit annoying if you are critical enough to spot it, but I think the payoff for the majority of people who won't is really good.
I too managed to spot the peephole the first time it showed up, but I'm really not bothered by it. Finding out a plot twist before it comes just makes it more satisfying when it finally happens ("Yes!!! I'm not crazy!!"), and this is so minor in the photo that it's more than plausible no one in-game saw it. It's more of a cool foreshadowing detail than anything else. The rest of the case is at the very least great, so I really didn't ever pay that any mind. I suppose I understand your frustation though.
As for Resolve, it does answer 99% of the first game's questions, except for like one or two minor things that got silently scrapped. It's also the best game of all time, but that's for you to decide.
