Shin-Chan: Me And The Professor On Summer Vacation Will Finally Get A Western Launch On PS4 And Switch
The whimsical, gorgeously drawn Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation - The Endless Seven-Day Journey will be getting a western launch on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in August (thanks Gematsu).
Western fans have been crying out for this one ever since it released in Japan last year, and for good reason. For one, just look at those visuals.

In Shin-chan, the game, players wander a town as the titular protagonist who's a five-year-old boy. You fish, bug hunt, take photos, and exercise, among other winsome activities.
