Play Yu Yu Hakusho : Ghostfiles : Spirit Detective Online

Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghostfiles: Spirit Detective came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, published by Atari. It was one of those early 2000s anime adaptations that felt right at home on the handheld, with chunky sprites and a condensed take on the show's initial story arc. You step into the shoes of Yusuke Urameshi, a teenage delinquent who becomes a Spirit Detective after a freak accident leaves him dead, then not quite dead.

You control Yusuke through screen by screen environments, talking to characters from the series and engaging in combat using his Spirit Gun. The main goal involves investigating supernatural disturbances, which usually means navigating straightforward areas and fighting demons. Signature mechanics include a simple battle system where you blast enemies with spirit energy and a detective mode for examining clues in certain scenes. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty stays manageable, though some enemy patterns require attention. It feels like a compact, action oriented tribute to the show's early days.
