Learn over 200 pieces of Japanese vocabulary with Crayon Shin-chan! I had so much fun with this game! Definitely a fantastic game to use to learn Japanese with! There is a ton of repetition, jokes, furigana, change of scenes, it doesn't really ever get boring! Hope you guys enjoy the video!
Just picked up Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town - Japanese version (クレヨンしんちゃん「炭の町のシロ」) through PlayAsia gift card + this game at 40% off currently. Are you planning to do an update with this new Shin Chan game at any time? Again, thank you for the great effort you are putting into these reviews!
Just remembered that during auto-advance sequences in games, you (or learners in general) can use the Switch's capture function to record the previous 30 seconds, then hop over to the album to review it. Obviously the best thing would be to play with a capture card like you said in your how to learn video, but this is an quick an easy way to get around the annoyance of text moving too fast!
Very surprised to see you playing this! I’ve been slowing streaming it since it came out last year (about to finish new game plus this week). I heard from fans of the bokunatsu series that it doesn’t compare and I enjoyed this one enough, so that makes me even more interested to go back and try the others (like you said since the others are less accessible that’s why I played this first)
i love your videos. i wanted to let you know, i got Yomitore for the DS from your recommendation in the kanji game video. i feel like it's the perfect game for someone who can read hiragana and katakana and understands the absolute most basic grammar structure in Japanese. i have to use my phone to help me understand questions sometimes, but translating the questions and answers is sort of helping wrap my head around Japanese better i think. the furigana is also a blessing and it's structured well enough in menus that you can figure everything out within like 15 minutes of poking around. just really intuitive for picking up and learning. i feel like the pace is great too. i need to become more consistent with it but i'll hopefully continue updating you with how it's helped me learn :) i also bought the kanken premium game you recommended, but i think i'll probably make use of that later after i improve my reading skills more because that game's menus were a little much for me right off the bat lol.
Great video ! What would you recommend for a brand new Nintendo Switch owner to purchased along with this game to practice Japanese ? I bought animal crossing and this one already
Can someone explain, when I read these sentences myself I can't see where the words breakup...but when Matt explains each word I can understand. I seem to get word blind and not know where one word starts and another ends. As soon as Mat breaks it down I'm like "Ohh that's supper obvious!"
Hey! Awesome video! I’m a huge fan of Shin-Chan and ran across your tier list where you first mentioned this game, and now I’m waiting for the special edition to arrive from Japan! Thanks so much for making these! They’re a huge help, even to those of us who speak/read/write Japanese fairly well already! This one was a lot of fun and watching your reactions was a treat! Cheers buddy!
Yeah its really beautiful! Im not sure about which shop to buy from but I believe it hasn't been localized yet so any shop should be alright? I think all versions are Japanese versions?
There's a line in the full game right before the scientist offers to take a photo where he says: 現在科学のすいでありロマンです。Do you know what すい and ロマン mean here?
ロマン can mean an epic adventure, romance, etc. I asked a native Japanese speaker and they said すい here means something like high-level, which i believe would be this kanji: 粋. So, "High-level/sophisticated modern science is an epic adventure/romantic" I guess? I'm guessing that すい kanji is not common, especially for kids, so they opted for the kana instead.
Thank you so much Katie! Oh absolutely! Its been tough lately being busy with my fulltime job but ideally one day id like to get one of these videos out every week or so! What games would you like to see? Im always happy to take in feedback!
@@GameGengo I agree those series are excellent! I would love a complete playthrough of Crayon Shin-Chan or Persona 5 with your commentaries, this is so good! Thank you for your amazing work.
I am surprised your content isn't more viewed, it has really helped me to give me courage to try and learn a new language through games, furthermore it has given more games to try and play to hear the awesome vocals.
This was one of the first games I played on my Japanese journey and I loved it! Some of Shin-chan sentences were a bit confusing but the story was very easy to follow, with very useful vocabulary, and on top of that it's artistically beautiful! I think it's a great game for beginners. Now I'm finishing another game that I think is the perfect game for beginners: oshiri tantei (butt detective) for switch. Humor aside, the vocabulary is very simple (but super useful), there is a lot of dialogue (with furigana) and after collecting clues you have to help oshiri tantei to solve the case, so you can check if you have understood things correctly. Give it a try (there is a demo), I think you will like it!
@@TheBlueGoldenHawk It depends on your skill, I spent about 30h but I am super slow at reading. At normal speed (for instance, a 5-10 year old Japanese child) I estimate it would take between 5 and 10 hours. On youtube you can also find gameplays by searching おしりたんてい みらいのめいたんていとうじょう！
@@srdurden thank you. Sorry I mean how long is this shin Chan game haha. I got the おしりたんてい game demo a few months ago but didn’t play it much yet. I also have dragon quest XI in Japanese, so that’ll last me a long while haha
Thanks for the upload. This was interesting to follow. Does anyone know which Kanshudo search option he is using? "Word search", "multi word search", or something else?
Cool and helpful video, thanks! Is there a game script for this game, I picked it up for my first 'learn-by-game' and it's quite difficult to translate with a google translator I think
Im having difficulty figuring how to get this on my switch? The US eshop doesnt seem to support Japanese and im not sure how to buy the game without opening a new account...
As Always, thanks for the video and your hard work. Just Checked and it appears that it coming out on steam which makes it even more accessible. Named: "Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation The Endless Seven-Day Journey" in Aug 2022. Has many language options available.

This game is super fun and accesible! I hope you can do more videos of that one!
Are you planning on adding the vocabulary from this game to the Excel sheet with some of the other games ? (Like FFVII Pokemon Animal crossing etc) Thank you
This might be a stupid question but I bought this game to play it in English. Bought it in Japan and I won’t translate to english😅 anybody know what I can do?
@@GameGengo im about on the 5th repeat of the week in the game. Its perfect for studying because of its relaxing repetitive nature and use of furigana. plus, its shin chan! I loved the show's humor. However, the hardest parts to understand are the jokes in this. Takes a minute looking things up. I vote for you to make a couple eps with this game. 笑 笑
I know this conversation is a little old, but this is exactly what I use ChatGPT for now. It does a quite alright job explaining cultural references or jokes
Super excited for this! It was the only game I picked up during the golden week sale and ive actually put off playing it this week when I heard you were making a video on it! Thanks Matt!
Omg this sound 9:30 I used to watch some UA-cam channel a super long time ago about movies or something and it used this sound over and over! Does it ring a bell for anyone else?
Hey Chad, thanks for the feedback! So the general idea of these videos are to get exposed to the language so you learn over time in a more relaxed/chill/fun way, rather than a study/cram way that textbooks/tests often do. Have you tried any of the other videos? Id love to see what you think!
@@GameGengo ill try some more thanks for replying. But watching this one is super demotivating as I can't follow the pace. I've tried jumping into ff14 as i want to play that in japanese but again it's a real struggle
@@chadvader974 I have many videos for a range of different levels. My FF7 Series and Vocab series both approach things from the VERY start so its a slow build up (better for beginners), I also have a new style which is a bit more relaxed (FIRST HOUR) more like a lets play but learn at the same time. Oooo yeah FF14 is a very tough one to get into! So much language that is only found in the FF14 universe which makes it quite challenging for beginner/intermediates! Good luck! If you ever need any help feel free to let me know anytime!
@@GameGengo Thanks :) I'll check them out I actually started watching your FF series last night when the dog woke me up and wouldn't go back to sleep lol At the moment im using the anki study method but with a few tools like the Migaku kanji god addon and the browser which is pretty cool. FOr immersion im using stories but ive been trying to learn since 2005 and not really ever got past n5 due to various reasons like life and family and had a serious health scare and now my health is pretty bad and I have cognitive issues but not letting that stop me. Im trying again and your method seems great because I love games too. Just hard to get into it I think.
@TheBlueGoldenHawk pretty good! The puns and "japanese" specific references can be a little tricky depending on your cultural familiarity but it's got a lot of good everyday life vocab and conversations
I just stumbled on your channel from the algorithm gods and I really wanted to say that these videos are crazy helpful! Thank you for all these videos and what you're doing, it makes it seem not as daunting breaking down everything and explaining it through.
I’m Japanese, and I study English watching this series, which is really helpful.
Correction: Near the end 音色 is more of a 'tone' of color, it can also be a 'tone' in music or quality.

42:53 Shinchan is very naughty/ cheeky and quite perverted. I love the manga so much
Yeah he is a very cheeky little guy 😂
ブリブリブリブリ
The ケツブリブリ button is also his sprint button lmao, so he just zips around the town like that
Thanks for another great video! I went from "Shinchan is silly, should I skip this?", to "This game looks great, I should get it!".
Can someone explain, when I read these sentences myself I can't see where the words breakup...but when Matt explains each word I can understand. I seem to get word blind and not know where one word starts and another ends.

May Buri Buri zaemon bless you
I can’t get this game to play in Japanese on my switch through the normal method. Do you have any tips for this?
The art style is majestic. Thanks for showcasing this...I assume i need to buy this off Japan's eshop to get japanese support, right?
Yeah its really beautiful! Im not sure about which shop to buy from but I believe it hasn't been localized yet so any shop should be alright? I think all versions are Japanese versions?
It's only available in the Japanese eshop.
Looks like the non-Japanese release doesn't have the Japanese support
There's a line in the full game right before the scientist offers to take a photo where he says: 現在科学のすいでありロマンです。Do you know what すい and ロマン mean here?
does the curveball text setting add more detail?
ロマン can mean an epic adventure, romance, etc. I asked a native Japanese speaker and they said すい here means something like high-level, which i believe would be this kanji: 粋. So, "High-level/sophisticated modern science is an epic adventure/romantic" I guess? I'm guessing that すい kanji is not common, especially for kids, so they opted for the kana instead.
This is my absolute favorite series of yours!! Would you ever consider revisiting games you have done before for a continuation?

I just found this channel. Your way of teaching is great. You're my favorite channel learning Japanese now. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much, may I ask what's the dictionary/app that you're showing on the screen?
Remember watching the show back in the day on Portuguese television
these videos are SO helpful and really fun to watch! Thanks for making them! 🦑✨🧃

why are you the best channel on youtube ?
