Ooh sick, I played the very strange mobile spin-off “Funghi Garden” games for a couple years awhile back but never actually played any of the Touch Detective games; the character designs and art style always interested me. Hopefully this makes it outside Japan, since I think most of those games have already been localized?

I have never heard of these games, but it looks cute. I'm in, hopefully it's releasing overseas.

I remember reading the ads in Nintendo Power about these games, I was always curious about them. I hope this gets localized!

Oh wow, this is a series I haven't thought of in a long time.

Yeah, those Nintendo Power ads are what I remember the most about these games.

[BassForever]

Always meant to check out this series, looks like I have an excuse to do so now

 

[Metroid]

This completely flew under my radar, I loved the first game. I never played the second and didn't even know the third existed. I'm interested for sure.

 

[Gabev]

Oh, sweet!

it's been a week since the game came out and there's only one review out for some reason

Digitally Downloaded (4.5/5):

As a 15th anniversary celebration of an incredibly marginal series here in the west, but a far more popular one in Japan, the Touch Detective 3 + The Complete Case Files collection is just blindingly good value. Each game combines classically entertaining and surrealistically funny point-and-click mechanics with memorable characters and some delightfully eccentric moments. This is in so many ways a perfect example of the heart and soul of Japanese game development.
