Famicom Detective Club Part II: The Girl in Back
Famicom Detective Club Part II: The Girl in Back is a Japanese adventure game originally made for the Famicom disk system but was later remade for the Super Famicom's Nintendo Power cartridge. The game is a prequel to the first game, Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir, however neither game was officially released in English. Fortunately there is a superb fan translation made for the SNES remake of part II; translated by non-other then Tomato, the translator for Mother 3.
I actually put off playing this game for about three years but in beginning of 2011 I finally began playing it, mainly because my brother kept badgering me about how great this game was. I finished it the same weak I started it and wow, what fantastic adventure game!
The games interface and flow is identical to something like Snatcher but completely different in overall feel and story. I don't want to talk much about the games story over fear of spoilers and me making it sound generic, so lets just leave it at it being a fabulously written and intricate mystery story.
I highly recommend this game to anyone who hasn't played it yet, especially if you consider yourself a fan of Japanese adventure games.
