A certain IronROB just pointed out on nintendoeverything.com, that Capcom Japan's finally decided on the box art for Ghost Trick. Now, I can't read Japanese, but I recognize a particular finger pointing lawyer on the top left corner. Obviously it's making note that the Ace Attorney series creator, Shu Takumi is also the creative genius behind this game. Personally, I'm not sure I've seen a dead guy on the cover of anything, much less so humorously, (Zombie games not withstanding).

Speaking of non-Ace Attorney games. Has anyone completed 'Again' yet? I just did. The game starts a bit slow, but has some excellent plot twists that, I personally think, trumps many twists I've seen in the AA series. Granted, your mileage may vary, but It's definitely worth your time. Particularly if we want Hotel Dusk's sequel, Last Window, to have a shot at getting localized.

There seems to be something wrong with the image. It's not loading. I don't think they allow hotlinking.

Is this the boxart, or a placeholder? It was on e-Capcom's site.

Thanks for that bolt, the hotlinked version was loading fine on my end.

I love that cover. Hmm... I really like it if they actually use it for the official cover. On that Again thing... I'm not really a fan of buying things from WiiWare (it's on WiiWare right?) and I don't have the points to do it. I'll definitely buy Last Window if it comes out though.

The new mystery game by Shuu Takumi!

I think that Capcom want to say "Ghost Trick is made by Shuu Takumi who was the directer of GYAKUTEN SAIBAN!".

Again is a DS game, sold in DS cartridges.

Lazy but cool cover, IMO.

Hum... I'm not so much of fan of this boxart, probably because I've already seen that particular artwork so many times already (not counting the times I've seen it in videos). I think they could have come up with something a bit more... original? I mean, compared to the game itself, since as Wooster said, a dead guy on a boxart, you don't see that quite often :p
Ah, well, it's just the boxart, isn't it? I'm pretty sure the game will really be worth buying, so I don't really mind not 'being so much a fan' of its boxart.

I hope we get a US release date at E3! :)

I'd be very surprised if it even came out in Europe... but why don't you order the game on Play-Asia?
