Famicom Mini: Famicom Tantei Club - Kieta Koukeisha
Overview
Famicom Mini: Famicom Tantei Club - Kieta Koukeisha is a Game Boy Advance video game released in 2004 by Nintendo. It is a remake of the Famicom title Famicom Tantei Club, and little to no alterations were made on the game to stay faithful to the original title. The game was not released in America or Europe, and thus was exclusive to Japan. It was part of the Famicom Mini Series that re-released a variety of classic Famicom games for the Game Boy Advance, similar to how they re-released classic NES games in North America. This port has both parts (Zenpen and Kouhen) of Kieta Koukeisha, thus the player wouldn't need to change disks like in the original Famicom Disk System release.
The story begins with a man named Amachi discovering the fallen protagonist on the ground near a cliff. The protagonist discovers that he has lost his memory, and after recuperating, he revisits the cliff and meets a young girl named Ayumi Tachibana. He learns from Ayumi that he is an assistant detective investigating the death of Kiku Ayashiro, and heads over to the nearby Ayashiro estate located in Myoujin village. The Ayashiro family owns a huge plot of land passed down from generation to generation, but there is a strange saying in the village that the dead will return to life to kill anyone who attempts to steal the treasure of the Ayashiro family. As the protagonist investigates the mysterious death of Kiku Ayashiro, he discovers the terrifying connection between this saying and the serial killings which take place.
