Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. I played it a decade ago on iOS, loved it, and thought it was never going to see a modern release again.
I'm thrilled to see its recent release on the Switch and PC because it truly deserves a try if you like a good story and time traveling based puzzles.
This was one of my favorite games on the Nintendo DS!
I only bought a 3DS in the last couple years, but you bet Ghost Trick was one of the games I have on my SD card!
every mention of ghost trick i've seen is overwhelmingly positive...i gotta try it someday.
does it rely on the DS' dual screen much? idk if the rerelease would affect things
Not really. However, gameplay gets you to use the touch screen to move the main character in the game, so I anticipate that the switch version will either support touch, or make movement possible with joystick control.
I haven't tested it yet myself, so I can't confirm this though.
Hey, this is indeed the first time I've seen this game mentioned online! I got a free copy from work (we had distribution rights for Capcom in Australia) and enjoyed it, but haven't thought of it since.
That's hella cool, for one. Please introduce me to your job /jk
It kind of faded away since Capcom just stopped porting it to newer and newer devices. The DS was a long time ago.
I remember a couple years back when I saw an artist selling a sticker of one of the characters and we shared that brief moment of enthusiasm. I'm really happy to see that it will receive love again. The newer generations will probably also come to appreciate this game.
