    As well as a new Okami game on DS, Capcom have also revealed Ghost Trick for the Nintendo DS in the latest issue of Famitsu. Ghost Trick is a mystery adventure starring a character who's just been shot to death. Known as Sisel, he wanders about in soul form, has no memories, and must figure out his live and untimely demise in the few hours he's allowed before he disappears forever.
     
     The DS project is being headed by some important figures in the gaming world - Hironobu Takeshita of Mega Man 9 fame is acting as producer, whilst Shu Takumi, the main writer for Ace Attourney, is filling the director's shoes.

    Sisel can move around the timeline surrounding his death, witness events, contact old friends and even the hitman who killed him - how? By possessing objects using the stylus to communicate with the "real" world. 
     
    •  Hironobu Takeshita producing
    • Shu Takumi directing
    • The main character is Sisel, a man that has been shot and killed for no reason
    • Sisel appears in soul form, and it's his task to regain memories to find out how he lived, and why he died the way he did
    •  Sisel can view past events and talk with former friends to try and piece together the situation that lead to his death
    • move Sisel's soul with the stylus, and place it onto other objects to take control of them
    • to be demoed at TGS  

     
    I first thought of this idea about five years ago. We were working on the third Ace Attorney and figured it was time to start thinking about the next thing. So I came up with a plan to make a new type of mystery, something different in style from Ace Attorney. I chose a portable platform because it matches well with the style of my games -- the close range between you and the small screen creates this in-the-game-world effect which I like.

    - Shu Takumi in Famitsu.

    Very true.  A good pedigree engenders a lot of confidence that we will be looking at a quality product down the line.

    Linsday Lohan starred in a crappy movie about this once.
    But Patrick Swayze starred in an awesome movie about this once, too.
    So it could go either way.

    Patrick Swayze and Ghost was just horrible  ^-^ ....... but I can't stand Patrick.  I was made to sit through Dirty Dancing and I haven't recovered from it - HORRIBLE FILM.

    Really, are you sure it 's the same thing?, the names could simply be the same. I get the impression this is a original work by Capcom.

    "Ghost Trick" isn't even on her filmography. Maybe the concept was ripped?, if you're right that is.

    I think it is more the term "Ghost" as a generality and used for amusement.
