A new Nintendo eShop listing has revealed that Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation -The Endless Seven-Day Journey- , otherwise known in Japan as Crayon Shin-chan: Ora to Hakase no Natsuyasumi – Owaranai Nanokakan no Tabi, will be making its western debut on 11th August 2022 for the Nintendo Switch with pre-orders now available.

Developed by Millennium Kitchen and published by Neos Corporation the game follows Shin-Chan and his family as they partake in various requests around town, such as bug catching and fishing, and allows players to freely explore the town while bringing the animated series to life in videogame form. Further gameplay details can also be found on the official website.

Story: Hiroshi has to go on a business trip to Kyushu, so now the entire Nohara family has decided to stay with an childhood friend of Misae’s in Assou, Kumamoto. But when they arrive at Kumamoto Station on their way to Assou, they meet a strange man who offers them an even stranger camera on the condition that they’ll act as his witnesses…

With his new camera in hand, Shinnosuke can enjoy his summer vacation in the beautiful Assou fields and mountains to the fullest. The scenery is even crawling with creatures that he would never find in Kasukabe. And there are townspeople to help and new friends to make. That said…don’t these kids look an awful lot like the ones he knows from home?

One cool summer night, Shinnosuke witnesses a giant creature outlined against the light of a full moon. Next to the creature is a strange man with a wide smile. It’s the same weird man who gave him the camera at the station… And he calls himself the Evil Professor. Following this encounter more and more strange things start to happen around Assou…

The game is priced at £33.99 and is available to pre-order with a 10% discount on the Nintendo eShop and will feature English, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese localisation options. Sadly while the game has a release date for Nintendo Switch, the PlayStation 4 and Steam versions are still to be announced – however good news does come in the form that Limited Run Games will be publishing a physical version on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 with further details to be announced.

In the meantime Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation -The Endless Seven-Day Journey- will be available on the 11th August 2022 digitally for the Nintendo Switch.
