Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective Message Board older than one year ago

The latest trailer for Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective takes us out of the junkyard venue we've seen previously, including in the demo, and into the home of an "Elegant Lady," who seems to have great skill in the art of drunkenly dodging ghost-manipulated "naughty chandeliers."

In addition to demonstrating the extremely odd scenarios possible in Capcom's upcoming DS puzzle-adventure, this new trailer features long stretches of gameplay, showing how the dead protagonist Sissel can move from object to object, manipulating certain items to interact with (or hit) the living. Ghost Trick will be out sometime next year.

An old-school adventure feel mixed with humor and flashy graphics.

Capcom has announced the Japanese release date for Ace Attorney creator Shu Takumi's supernatural puzzle adventure game, Ghost Trick. Japan will be able to put Sissel's spirit into a bicycle on June 24. Capcom has yet to offer a date for North American or European releases beyond simply 2010, but if the game is in a complete state by June, that bodes well for localization sometime in the fall.

However, if you can't wait that long, and you don't mind clicking through a bunch of Japanese text, you can play the TGS demo right now! Capcom posted a flash demo to the Ghost Trick site.

Capcom's Ghost Trick was one of the most memorable games of TGS (in our opinion), combining a novel puzzle mechanic with a memorable style. We've been eagerly awaiting any new information or media that may (Ghost) trickle out, and now we've got a new-ish trailer to share for the 2010 release. We say new-ish because it features the same intro animation seen in the TGS trailer. But this extended video also has brief snippets of gameplay footage, in which we can see Sissel possessing and "tricking" things like a cabinet door (to make a dog move). Check out the trailer after the break. [Via GoNintendo]

Manipulate your environment to solve puzzles!

Ace Attorney series creator Shu Takumi's next game is Ghost Trick, a puzzle adventure game which is very different from the chronicles of Phoenix and Edgey, but carries over that series' trademarks of humorous characters and sharp, brightly colored suits. There is no English demo for the just-announced DS title yet, so I can't really say anything about the dialogue, but I understood the story in the demo quite well just through animation and gameplay.
