OH SHIT GAF

YOU JUST DIED


But it's cool! We'll figure this out!...somehow. I mean, yeah, you didn't have a will or anything, so no one's going to know who your rare copy of Garou is going to go to, but that's unimportant right now!

First, we need to figure out where we are. Ah, maybe this box will help solve this mystery.

Boxart (click for bigger version):



Hm. Ghost...Trick? That sounds familiar...

A MEMORY IS RETURNING

Oh, that's right! It's that new game from Capcom and the writer of the Ace Attorney games, Shu Takumi!

That doesn't really tell us how you died, though. Hmm. What if we shook this box over here...

Oh, a fact sheet popped out!

Release date(s)
Nintendo DS

* JP June 19, 2010
* NA January 11, 2011

iOS

* JP December 16, 2010

Oh, so it is coming out in America soon, interesting, interesting.

But that doesn't really tell us anything! We are going to need to take a more visual look at this game.

None of this explains how GAF died, though. One of these is even Japanese, as far as we know, it could be saying something about Dragon Quest X.

Maybe we need to watch this video to really understand.

Ghost Trick Comic Con trailer

This is enlightening, but still doesn't point us to the truth. I guess we'll have to trust in these people to help us out.

The only way we'll figure this mystery out is by trying the game ourselves on January 11th.

A NEW MYSTERY HAS EMERGED!

A hot tip has lead us to this flash demo of the game! Maybe we can find the answers we seek in there?

If not, there is a separate and different demo on the Wii Channel that can help us!

 

[RurouniZel]

Awesome OP! Can't wait for this!

 

[jvalioli]

I have no clue if I'll be able to play it this month AAAAH

I will try my best though

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

already preordered, just what I need right now. fresh concept and brilliant art

 

[Luigi87]

The main character may be dead, but this thread LIVES!
Nice OP, looking forward to this.
I can hardly believe it comes out next week

 

[Hours Left]

WANT.

 

[Boney]

Title should've been, If you have a DS, click this thread.

This game needs the attention.

I'm so getting this, awesome op btw.

 

[Crash Station]

Should be great.

 

[zigg]

Need to add the Flash demo to the OP:

http://www.gamespot.com/misc/presentations/ghost-trick/index.html

Also, I dunno if it's still there, but a Very Special Demo was available on the Wii's Nintendo Channel for download to DS recently.

 

[dvolovets]

Great OP. I've had the game pre-ordered on Amazon for $7 bucks (after applying promotions) for a while now.

 

[Feep]

Flash demo sold me like THAT.

Text-heavy adventures are so good. I love my DS.

 

[Perfect Blue]

I love this game's style. Hopefully going to be able to pick this up day one.

Nice OP, also.

 

[Morbid Angel]

The demo was great. Do want!

 

[Hours Left]

Forgot to mention, nice OP.

You should link to the online demo, and add a mention about the other demo you can download from the Nintendo Channel. (It's different than the online demo.)

 

[Gravijah]

DO I NEED TO HAVE PLAYED PHOENIX WRIGHT TO UNDERSTAND THE STORY HELP PLZ

 

[Boney]

This is a stand alone game people.

 

[zoku88]

Forgot that this came comes out next week. Too bad it couldn't release two days early, could have been useful for the flight im having :-/

 

[Mdk7]

The online demo completely sold me to it one month ago, and the fun thing is that before trying that demo i didn't even know about this game.

DAY ONE, and i really can't wait to get my hands on it.
The art direction is sooo amazing.

 

[tim.mbp]

Pre-orded. The Capcom store is offering a bundle with Ghost Trick and the first Phoenix Wright DS game.

 

[bernardobri]

Yes. But you're buying it anyway and saving it till you play the PW trilogy.

... WTF? Is this sarcasm or something?

 

[CornBurrito]

Cannot wait for this. 999 only lasted so long. I need my fix.

 

[Urban Scholar]

Here I thought no one would've bothered to make a thread for this. Haven't played a text adventure in ages, I look forward to this.

 

[Boney]

... WTF?

I'm just toying around. It's a stand alone game.

But as said above, if you buy this game from the Capcom Store, they'll also give you the original Pheonix Wright for free.

 

[BorkBork]

Nice title. Been waiting on this one for a looooong while.

 

[zigg]

Pre-orded. The Capcom store is offering a bundle with Ghost Trick and the first Phoenix Wright DS game.

That's a pretty hot deal, right there. $40 gets you both great games. And is the first game even realistically still available? I know it was rare for quite awhile. (EDIT: On DS, discounting WiiWare/iOS/etc.)

[Femmeworth]

This will be the first game that I buy this year.

Spoiler

Steam sales don't count. >_>

*cancels preorder*

Thanks a lot for the spoiler, Alberto.

For his sake, he better be wrong.

 

[overthehill99]

Yes. But you're buying it anyway and saving it till you play the PW trilogy.

Wait, seriously? All interest lost.

 

[jvalioli]

Wait, seriously? All interest lost.

Uh no. It just has the same lead writer.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

Wait, seriously? All interest lost.

:lol

 

[Salsa]

fucking BRING IT ALREADYYYYYYYYY D:

 

[rollingstart]

flash demo showed potential for some neat puzzles, but is the game going to be that wordy?

 

[Boney]

Yep. But that's a good thing because we have this guy doing the stuff.

Talking about how brave he is. I love it!

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Can't wait until this. Both demos were great.

 

[Salsa]

How do i play the DS demo btw ? fuckin demos

Only played the flash one

 

[The Technomancer]

....did you say...writer of the Ace Attorney games?

Damn, looks like I'm picking this up.
Along with 999 that's going to make two awesome DS adventure games in less then a month.

EDIT: That PW/GT bundle would be awesome. Finally complete my PW trilogy, since I only played the first one on loan >_<

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

How do i play the DS demo btw ? fuckin demos

Wii --> Nintendo Channel --> DS Icon on the bottom of the screen --> should be in the list.

then click it and do download mode on your ds. blam-o!

 

[Boney]

Alright, i'll try this later. Thanks!

 

[Boney]

Alright, i'll try this later. Thanks!

Remember to play with the enviroment at any given time. Plenty of surprises to find

Oh and btw, the DS demo is a special edition scenario that's not in the game.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Yeah shit I completely wrote this game off as gimmicky until I played the flash demo just now. Now to find a way to get the Nintendo Channel demo.

Also, what's with Shu Takumi and spunky teenaged female sidekicks?

 

[speedpop]

FINALLY

I should really play 999 whilst I wait.

Yeah shit I completely wrote this game off as gimmicky until I played the flash demo just now.

Yeah, everyone apprehensive about this game should at least give the flash demo a try. It might change your perspective.

 

[STG!]

I am handheld-only at the moment so this will suit just perfectly. Can't wait!

 

[mattiewheels]

Don't pile on me guys, but I'm really hoping they announce this for US iPhones too. From what I played of the japanese demo, it's pretty great.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Great OP. I preordered as soon as I finished the flash demo.

 

[Penguin nerd]

Wrote this one off for the longest time until I tried the demo a few days ago. Preordered from Amazon immediately! Can't wait

 

[Gomu Gomu]

I'll be getting this as soon as possible. I've got finals all January, so probably I'll get it next month. But damn, that is one ugly box art :lol

 

[Regulus Tera]

Welp, pre-order cancelled. Bad endings suck.
