Famicom Mini: Famicom Tantei Club Part II - Ushiro ni Tatsu Shoujo
Overview
Famicom Mini: Famicom Tantei Club Part II - Ushiro ni Tatsu Shoujo is a Game Boy Advance video game released in 2004 by Nintendo. It is a port of the Famicom Disk System game Famicom Tantei Club Part II: Ushiro ni Tatsu Shoujo, 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. This port has both parts (Zenpen and Kouhen) parts of the original game, so the wouldn't need to change disks, like on the original Famicom Disk System release.
The prologue scene depicts an autumn night as a 15-year-old boy (the protagonist of the game) is on the run from two police officers. A man, respected by the police, decides to care of the situation by himself. The man takes the boy to a coffeehouse, where the boy explains that he ran away from his orphanage to find his parents' whereabouts. The man introduces himself as a private detective named Shunsuke Utsugi, and convinces the boy to become his assistant. A few months later, Utsugi and the protagonist receive a phone call to check over a crime scene. The murder victim is a freshman schoolgirl named Yoko Kojima. The protagonist begins gathering information from Ushimitsu High School to solve the Yoko case and connect it with the Genjiro Kaneda case along with the help of Yoko's two high school friends; a girl named Ayumi Tachibana and a boy named Hitomi Kawaii. It soon emerges that Yoko was deep into an investigation of "The Tale of the Girl Who Stands Behind," a rumor involving a ghost of a blood-soaked girl that stands behind a student, and the trio set out to discover the truth behind this rumor.
