Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is finally getting a Western release on October 24th for the Nintendo Switch, with Limited Run Games handling the physical release. This game, originally titled ‘Shiro of Coal Town,’ was launched in Japan in February and offers a more mysterious storyline compared to its predecessor.
In this game, players will explore the fictional ‘Coal Town’ with their loyal dog companion, engaging in slice-of-life activities like bug hunting, fishing, and crafting. The visuals are stunning, as seen in the trailer and screenshots. The game will be available on the Switch eShop for $39.99, with a bundle option including the previous title for $49.99 at launch.
