THE FIRST J. B HAROLD GAME BEING REISSUED FOR SWITCH

Overview

  • The original PC-88 version of J.B Harold Murder Club is set to be reissued on the Nintendo Switch as part of D4 Enterprise’s EGGCONSOLE series.
  • The game was first released in 1986, penned by Rika Suzuki and later spawning several sequels like Manhattan Requiem and Blue Chicago Blues.

Reissue Details

  • Expected to hit Japan on October 24th and some Western digital storefronts shortly thereafter.
  • Notably, this reissued version may not include English text similar to previous releases by D4 Enterprise.

Key Points

  • Japanese only: Unlike the previous ports to MS-DOS and other systems, the original PC-88 version did not have English options.
  • EGGCONSOLE series: D4 Enterprise’s reissues typically include a brief how-to-play section and main menu in English with gallery text.

Additional Info

  • This is the second time this title has been published on Switch, with an earlier port by Althi but also not supporting English.

    Played the DOS version to completion, enjoying every bit of it. Then the TurboGrafx-16 CD version with its satisfying cinematic reveal of the big plot twist. Really wish I could play more games like this!
