Remember when we thought this would never happen? Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation – The Endless Seven-Day Journey was announced for a Western release back in June, and now, publisher Neos has revealed that the game will be launching as soon as next week!
Gematsu reports (via GoNintendo) that on 11th August, we'll be able to join popular Japanese character Shin-Chan on his summer vacation on Switch. The game is already out in Japan on the console, but it's coming out worldwide on other platforms alongside the English Switch (and PS4 and Steam) version.
Curious about this title, which is created by the same people who made Attack of the Friday Monsters!, then you should check out this story summary from the game's website:
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 Asso, Kumamoto.
But when they arrive at Kumamoto Station on their way to Asso, 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 Asso 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 Professor Akuno. Following this encounter more and more strange things start to happen around Asso...
This lovely little life sim lets you do a number of things, such as keep a picture diary, take a bath with your dad, become a news reporter, grow vegetables, and even become a DJ! Sounds like a ideal slate of summer activities to us.
You'll be able to grab the lovely-looking Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation – The Endless Seven-Day Journey for $39.99 on Switch next week, 11th August. That's exactly one week away!

Just a heads up that if you preorder it immediately preloads for you!
Yep. Am picking this up. More Shin-Chan is always good, and it looks great! Just a shame no physical release in the west.
"Remember when we thought this would never happen?"
You mean May 1, 2022? Hehe.
Where is the physical release?
Ugh, right after Sunbreak's first title update, dammit. xD
@Yosti won't be a physical release. Atleast at this time there isn't one planned. That was right from the developer. So stupid company like lrg may get it and over charge for the game and some stickers lol . But other then that sadly ...looks like digital is the only way to get it
Def gonna grab this. I really wish tho at 40 bucks it was a physical copy. Still amazing im gonna get to play this game . Now we just need yo-kai!!!!
Still didn't get over the fact my girlfriend bought this game in South Korea in May, thinking it would never come to the West. I just wish they released an update to the Asian versions when this one came out so we could select English or Portuguese subtitles but I'm sure that will never happen 😩
Not too thrilled about the pricing if it's just going to be an eShop exclusive here. I would have bought a physical copy day one at retail price but for digital I'll likely just wish list it and wait for a sizable sale considering I have so much else to play at the moment anyway.
His german Rhymes were hilarious.
"Ich fühl mich wie im Himmel und wackel mit dem PXXXXX"
"I feel like in Heaven and i am shaking my DXXX around."
"Ich fühl mich frisch und munter und hol mir einen runter" .
"I feel fresh and cheerful and i am jxxxxxx off."
"Ein AXXXXXOCH hüpft von Ast zu Ast, bis der Ast ins AXXXXXOCH passt."
"An Axxhole jumps from branch to branch, 'til the branch fits into the Axxhole."
They rhyme really well in german, was there something similiar in english?
It is about 15 Years ago that i heared them and they are burned into my Brain.
I was spitting out what i was just drinking back then, because it was so unexpected from a TV Show that seemed so much for Kids.
Shin Chan will be on PS4 ??
@Azuris, as far as I'm aware it IS a children's property in Japan, but when it came to it's US release the licensor decided to give it a raunchy, South Park-esque, dub.
Maybe something similar happened in Germany?
English retail release pls
Great. I've always wanted a game that would allow me to take a bath with Shin-chan's dad.
Hopefully we can see Shin-Chan's bum, since that's a thing ┐( ̄ヘ ̄)┌
