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.
