Capcom announces Ghost Trick from Ace Attorney creator photo

With the Ace Attorney series largely behind us, where can we turn for quirky DS mystery titles? Well, why not stick with Takumi Shuu, the director of the series, for his new title Ghost Trick. Just announced by Capcom in the latest issue of Famitsu, the title is slated for a 2010 release, according to Canned Dogs.

The main character, Sissel, is dead. Somebody shot him. Yet his spirit has come back from the dead to try and solve the case! Equipped with special powers, the only problem is that he doesn't quite remember everything that happened before he died. He's only got a few hours to live, and so he's got to solve the case quickly and keep the detective alive who's working on his case.

I'm sure we'll get more details as the game draws closer to its release date -- and Capcom will likely have some more information when we hit the show floor at Tokyo Game Show. We just have to liquor them up a bit. You can check out the scans from Famitsu down in the gallery to get an idea of what the art will look like.

I saw this on their TGS site and thought it looked awesome.

I'm really loving the character designs.

Is it just me, or does it look Gurren Lagann esque?

This sounds great. We do still have 1 more Ace Attorney coming though so it is not completely behind us :)

Looking at the images, the detectives body seems to be lying in a strage way... I doubt that's how rigor mortus works... O_o

It looks like Gurren Lagann meets Bleach, with a liquid core of L.A. Confidential and a candy shell made of Max Headroom.

They really should get Matt Frewer to voice this guy.

if it's as spiffy as the art, I'll love it.

"With the Ace Attorney series largely behind us..."

HIGHLY unlikely.

When I read the description, "The World Ends With You" popped into my head. Anyone else?

The art style reminds me of Freakazoid mixed with Gurren Lagann.

Consider me sold even if I just have seen character design and tiny screenshots in moonspeak.

Maybe she sucked his dick. Because he looks like a shark.

Has the Ace Attorney series come to a close? This is news to me!

Didn't Capcom already say they had started work on the sixth title?

Also, this looks pretty interesting. And yes, Los225, it does sound a lot like Twewy.

Looks interesting, worth keeping up on. Now to start a pool as to whether cosplay or porn of the characters from this preview will pop up first.

Kinda sad the game looks like it's going to be 3D graphics. But I'm sure they'll make it work.

Always, always bet on porn. Y'know Phantasy Star Portable 2?...
