Shin-Chan: Shiro Of Coal Town Announced For Switch

During the Japanese version of the recent Nintendo Direct, a new game based on Crayon Shin-Chan was announced for Switch.

The game is titled Shin-Chan: Shiro Of Coal Town and is a holiday adventure game of a similar style to Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation. It will follow Shin-chan and the Nohara family on a trip to Akita, with Shin-chan and his dog stumbling upon the titular “Coal Town” along the way. The game will release sometime this Winter for Japan, with a worldwide release to follow sometime afterwards.

Shin chan and the Nohara family visit the town of Akita. The game depicts Shin chan’s life full of various experiences with Shiro as he travels between two worlds—the real world and a mysterious town. With familiar characters, unique characters that stir up the story, and detailed graphics and settings, Shin chan: Shiro of Coal Town can be enjoyed by a wide range of players of all ages, from Shin chan fans to gamers who want to experience an full-scale story.

Additionally, since the first game was so well received worldwide, we also plan to release Shin chan: Shiro of Coal Town overseas rather than just in Japan. We will announce the release date and game details for each region in due course.
