Shin Chan Game "Coal Town" Launches on Mobile via Crunchyroll

Crunchyroll Expands Anime Game Library with Exclusive Mobile Release

Crunchyroll is enhancing its gaming catalog with an exclusive new title - Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town - launching on mobile during its Ani-May celebration. Like other Crunchyroll titles, this adventure will be available exclusively to subscribers.

Meet Japan's Beloved Mischief-Maker

For international fans unfamiliar with Crayon Shin-Chan, this series follows the hilarious daily adventures of Shinnosuke "Shin" Nohara and his family. While not widely known outside Japan, it remains one of the country's most iconic manga and anime properties - similar to how we recently highlighted Doraemon.

A Spiritual Successor to a Cult Classic

The game serves as a spiritual follow-up to the beloved PlayStation classic My Summer Vacation (known as Boku No Natsuyasumi in Japan). Though this influential life simulator only recently became available internationally, many retro gaming enthusiasts will immediately recognize its influence.

Experience Rural Japan's Charm

Even without prior knowledge of Shin-Chan or My Summer Vacation, this title delivers engaging rural adventures. Players will explore Akita's stunning countryside as Shin, enjoying activities like fishing, gardening, and causing the character's signature mischief through various minigames.

Discover Mystical Secrets

Beyond the beautifully rendered Japanese landscapes, players can venture into the enigmatic Coal Town - unlocking a more fantastical dimension to the summer experience. This diverse gameplay offers a refreshing take on life simulation with rich exploration elements.

Crunchyroll's Niche Gaming Vision
