    GAME IS CENSORED! Don't buy this game, if you are against censorship. Nintendo acts themselves as the Chinese government and they are no different than communists in this aspect. Look it up, there's a good video explaining the censorship

    This revived relic is a bit creaky in certain areas, but it’s overflowing with charm and knows how to keep you engrossed until you crack the case. [Issue #4, p.55]

    If you're a fan of visual novels, adventure games and/or mysteries, I think you'll enjoy what Famicom Detective Club has to offer. Just be prepared for the gameplay to test your patience! [Issue #53 – July/August 2021, p. 19]

    I don’t think anything is gained by playing either Famicom Detective Club that can’t be gained by watching a playthrough because the puzzles are at best throwaway and at worst barely present. These are inherently flawed games, but if somehow the idea of slogging through menus isn’t a turn off there are absolutely two great, down to Earth murder mysteries to be experienced here.
