Ghost Trick Ready To Possess Nintendo DS In January

The next game from Shu Takumi, the creator of the Ace Attorney series, opens with the main character getting shot. After insight from a desk lamp, Sissel makes use of his ghastly form to rewind time and possess objects to save another person’s life.

Capcom announced Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective will be in stores on January 11, 2011. The news came with new North American box art.

"The appeal of having a ghost is because he’s from the ghost world he can view the lives of these characters – mysteries, lives, puzzles, and challenges, one step removed from the situation. He’s interacting with them, but he is also an observer," Takumi explained in a Siliconera interview when we asked him about making a ghost for a main character.
