WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "Soapboxing aside, Shiro and the Coal Town is legitimately interesting and has a pretty sizable tail for a game of this style. There’s tons to discover, the jokes that aren’t inherently problematic are funny (and the puns are even better if you know a touch of Japanese), and it runs wonderfully on the Switch. I can easily see this being an investable game for people looking for a marathon, not a sprint, and it’ll be more easily recognizable for younger players. Had I not played Natsu-Mon, I probably would have recommended this instantly. However, since I know a better mousetrap already exists, the choice to get Shiro and the Coal Town comes down to your connection to the characters and the world. For me, it’s a middling promotion, but, if you really love the franchise, then I think it’s an excellent representation and interaction."
An endearing and cute trek into the world of a mischievous kid, Shin chan continues to delight.
The Outerhaven writes: Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is a cozy game where you get to spend time as Shin Chan and catching bugs and fishing bugs.
NoobFeed editor Joy writes - Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is a light-hearted, nostalgic adventure made for its fans and anyone who delights in casual games of exploration, such as Animal Crossing. Its cozy rural village, Unbent, and the mysterious, dreamlike Coal Town provide a very nice backcloth to Shin-chan's quirky interactions and simple tasks.
