At midnight Japan time on October 29, 2026, two mystery games from Shueisha Games stepped onto Nintendo's new Switch 2 together, a quiet convergence of old craft and new hardware. One is Urban Myth Dissolution Center, a pixel-art investigation from the small Japanese team Hakababunko, now offered with sharper mouse-style control and a gallery to revisit its art. The other is Schrödinger's Call, a debut from the three-person Acrobatic Chirimenjako, arriving with sharper visuals and smoother motion than its original release.

Urban Myth Dissolution Center Arrives on Switch 2 With Joy-Con 2 Mouse Controls, Schrödinger's Call Launches Same Day
Two mystery games, one midnight, and a 100 yen upgrade for Switch owners
Mark
Two games, one midnight launch. Why does this pairing make sense?
Mimi
Same publisher, Shueisha Games, same day, and both are story-driven single-player games. The upgrades are cheap too, 100 yen each for Switch owners.
Mark
What actually changes in Urban Myth Dissolution Center?
Mimi
Joy-Con 2 mouse controls for the investigation segments, and a Gallery for revisiting the artwork. Nothing is said about changes to the story itself.
Luke
Worth noting that "more direct, hands-on feel" is the publisher's description. There's no independent hands-on report in this material, so we can't say how well the mouse controls work.
Mark
And Schrödinger's Call?
Mimi
Full HD outside movie scenes, and 60fps instead of 30fps. It's a visual and smoothness upgrade.
Luke
The movie scenes are excluded from the Full HD claim, and the source doesn't say what resolution they run at. So the improvement is real but partial.
Mark
Who's behind them?
Mimi
Hakababunko, a mystery-focused pixel art team, and Acrobatic Chirimenjako, a three-person team. Both came up through Shueisha's creator programs.
Luke
The awards listed are accurate as stated, but they come from the publisher's own profile and its own programs, so read them as background, not as a review.
Mark
What's still open?
Mimi
The Steam bundle. It's announced but has no date or price yet.
Luke
Right, so it's a promise, not a product, until the X account says more.

At midnight Japan time on October 29, 2026, two mystery games from Shueisha Games stepped onto Nintendo's new Switch 2 together, a quiet convergence of old craft and new hardware. One is Urban Myth Dissolution Center, a pixel-art investigation from the small Japanese team Hakababunko, now offered with sharper mouse-style control and a gallery to revisit its art. The other is Schrödinger's Call, a debut from the three-person Acrobatic Chirimenjako, arriving with sharper visuals and smoother motion than its original release. Both were announced in the October 28 Indie World broadcast, and both suggest how independent storytellers carry their work from one generation of machines into the next.
At midnight Japan time on October 29, 2026, two Shueisha Games titles arrived on Nintendo Switch 2. The news was first confirmed a day earlier during the Indie World broadcast, where the publisher named the exact release hour and announced that Schrödinger's Call would appear on the same console that day.
Urban Myth Dissolution Center, the mystery adventure from the Japanese team Hakababunko, comes to Switch 2 with two new additions: Joy-Con 2 mouse controls that make its investigation scenes feel more hands-on, and a Gallery mode for revisiting its artwork at will. Players who already own the Switch version can upgrade for 100 yen, while the full Switch 2 edition costs 2,080 yen. The team, known for pixel art and a lineage that began with Wakaidō Makoto's Case Files, first won recognition at the Google Play Indie Games Festival 2021, and the game later earned an Award for Excellence at the Japan Game Awards 2025.
Schrödinger's Call, the debut of the three-person Acrobatic Chirimenjako, gets a different kind of care. Its Switch 2 version raises visuals outside movie scenes to Full HD and lifts the frame rate from 30 to 60fps, priced at 2,480 yen with a 100 yen upgrade for Switch owners. The game, which took the grand prize at Shueisha Game Creators CAMP GAME BBQ vol.1, is a warm, storybook-like novel adventure.
The publisher has also promised a Steam bundle that will pair both mystery games. Its price and date remain unannounced, and fans are told to watch the official Shueisha Games X account for what comes next.
At midnight Japan time on October 29, 2026, two Shueisha Games titles became available on Nintendo Switch 2. The announcement came a day earlier, during the Indie World broadcast of October 28, where the publisher confirmed the release time of 0:00 JST for Urban Myth Dissolution Center Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and said Schrödinger's Call would arrive on the same console the same day.
The Switch 2 edition of Urban Myth Dissolution Center is built around two additions. The first is support for Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, which the publisher says gives the game's investigation segments a more direct, hands-on feel. The second is a Gallery mode, which lets players go back and look at the game's artwork whenever they want.
Pricing is split by what a player already owns. The Switch 2 Edition costs 2,080 yen, tax included. Players who already have the Nintendo Switch version can instead buy an Upgrade Pack for 100 yen, tax included. The game first came out on February 13, 2025, on Switch, PlayStation 5 and Steam, and reached iOS and Android on March 19, 2026. It is a single-player mystery adventure from the developer Hakababunko, supports thirteen languages including English, Japanese, Hindi and Arabic, and sells for 3,740 yen packaged or 1,980 yen digitally on other platforms.
Hakababunko is a Japanese team built around mystery enthusiasts, working in pixel art that it treats as its own form of expression. Its earlier series, Wakaidō Makoto's Case Files, established its reputation for mystery storytelling. The team won the Shueisha Game Creators CAMP Award at the Google Play Indie Games Festival 2021, which led to the partnership with Shueisha Games. Urban Myth Dissolution Center later won an Award for Excellence at the Japan Game Awards 2025.
Schrödinger's Call, released originally on May 28, 2026, gets a different kind of upgrade. On Switch 2, gameplay visuals outside of movie scenes are raised to Full HD, and the frame rate rises from 30fps to 60fps. The Switch 2 version costs 2,480 yen, tax included, and Switch owners can upgrade for 100 yen. The game is also on Switch and Steam, supports Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, carries an IARC 7+ rating, and is described by its publisher as a novel adventure with the warmth of an illustrated storybook. A Chapter 1 demo is available on Steam.
Its developer, Acrobatic Chirimenjako, is a three-person team united by an interest in theatrical, cinematic storytelling. Schrödinger's Call was the team's debut title, and it took the grand prize at Shueisha Game Creators CAMP GAME BBQ vol.1, a result the publisher attributes to its emotionally driven scenario and staging.
The publisher also says a Steam bundle pairing Urban Myth Dissolution Center with Schrödinger's Call is on the way. No date or price has been given; details are promised on the official Shueisha Games X account.
