Namco Bandai has revealed a second Detective Conan game for 3DS following 2013’s Marionette Symphony. ” Detective Conan: Phantom Rhapsody” will launch in Japan on April 17, the publisher announced today.

Phantom Rhapsody features a zapping system which lets players view the story from the perspective of Conan and his rival Harley Hartwell. Voice acting will be included for suspects and command battle showdowns.

Those who purchase a first print copy of Detective Conan: Phantom Rhapsody will receive an AR card that makes an AR Conan appear.
