The February Nintendo Direct treated us to a surprise announcement with the reveal that Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is coming to Switch. The port of the 3DS game is scheduled to launch in Summer 2023.

In Ghost Trick, you play as a ghost named Sissel who can switch between the world of the living and the dead, a trick they use to save the lives of others. Most of the gameplay is centered around Sissel's power of possession, in which you can relive the final four minutes of a person's life and do your best to ensure events don't play out as they're supposed to. Doing so stops the person from dying.

In GameSpot's Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective review, Carolyn Petit wrote, "Ghost Trick is one of the most original and compelling puzzle-oriented adventure games to come along in recent years. Nearly every facet of the game is outstanding: the unique gameplay concept and the puzzles you solve, the great characters and dialogue, the terrific animation and visual design, and the strange mystery, full of surprising twists and shocking revelations, whose threads all come together in a memorable and rewarding conclusion. The length of the game can vary significantly depending on how long it takes you to work out the puzzles, but you can expect to spend a good 10-15 hours piecing together this mystery, and its novelty and quality ensure that the experience will remain fondly in your memory well after that. If you have any interest in games of this kind, you need to play Ghost Trick."
