We've made no secret of the fact that we're rather hopeful about Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories, which is out this week in the 3DS eShop. As we've mentioned repeatedly, it's the Nintendo portable return for Taisuke Kanasaki and multiple staff from the now shuttered CiNG studio. They're well known for narrative-driven titles on the DS in particular, including the likes of Trace Memory, Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and Last Window: The Secret of Cape West.

In any case, Nintendo has released a neat localised trailer that showcases what this one's all about, with crime scene investigation, interviews / interrogations and some moody cutscenes at the fore. At one point Chase lounges back with his feet up across both screens, because he's a maverick detective that follows his own rules (or something).

Ignore the 'out now' part in the video below; this arrives in the standard download update on 13th October, so perhaps Nintendo UK published a little early by accident.

Don't forget that, for a couple of weeks, My Nintendo users in Europe can get this at a discounted price of €4.79 / £4.80 in exchange for 20 Gold Points; its normal cost is €5.99 / £6.00.

Are you interested in picking this one up?
