DS Cult Favorite ‘Touch Detective’ Gets ‘Funghi Case Files’ Collection On Switch In Japan

It’s a point-and-click detective adventure – and there were definitely quite a few of those on the DS – with an art style reminiscent of others in the genre, like Tangle Tower, Professor Layton, and pretty much everything else in the Level-5 catalogue.
But it’s made by developer Beeworks, a Japanese developer who has spent the last few years making games featuring Funghi from Touch Detectivelittle mushroom guy who very popular in Japan.
They are now putting together a collection of many Touch Detective games for the Nintendo Switch, including:

- Fungi Runaway (additional content released for Touch Detective mobile version)
- Fungi, interviewer (additional content released for Touch Detective mobile version)
- Sensory detective encyclopedia (collection of over 500 digital assets including concept art, sketches and character art)
The collection will be released in Japan both digitally and physically on October 6, 2022. It will cost 5,280 yen and only includes Japanese language options.
