So they've FINALLY stopped using the Case Closed name for this franchise's English releases. Only took them 15 years.

No, the series is titled, and will always be titled "Case Closed" in our region.

They're just trying something new for a DC video game. Which genre were you hoping for?

We actually got a switch game here in Japan this year that has you control Conan on a skateboard from behind. I think this is just an extension of that.

> they're keeping the everyone's original names

They could've made it similar to the Gyakuten Kenji games which practically apes on the DC manga with how it involves solving murders and confronting the killer.....though it doesn't involve someone getting knocked out with a tranq. dart and a little kid pretending to speak using their voice.
