Shueisha Games has brought Urban Myth Dissolution Center and Schrodinger’s Call to Nintendo Switch 2 with different upgrade paths, different technical hooks, and one important save-transfer warning.

Two Shueisha indies arrive on Switch 2, but they do not land the same way
Shueisha Games has launched new Nintendo Switch 2 releases for Urban Myth Dissolution Center and Schrodinger’s Call, and the useful detail for existing players is that the two games are being handled differently. According to Shueisha Games’ announcement on Games Press, Urban Myth Dissolution Center Nintendo Switch 2 Edition went on sale October 29 at 0:00 JST after being shown during Indie World 2026.10.28, while Schrodinger’s Call arrived on Nintendo Switch 2 the same day.
The tension is in the upgrade paths. Nintendo Everything reports that Urban Myth Dissolution Center is a proper Nintendo Switch 2 Edition with a $0.99 upgrade for owners of the original Switch release. Schrodinger’s Call, by contrast, is described by Nintendo Everything as a separate Nintendo Switch 2 version rather than a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, with save data transfer from Switch 1 to Switch 2 available only when the game is launched for the first time. Shueisha’s press release still says Nintendo Switch owners can upgrade Schrodinger’s Call for 100 yen, so the practical distinction appears to be less about whether owners can pay a small upgrade fee and more about how the new release is packaged and how carefully players need to handle saves.
That makes these two Switch 2 visual novel releases a useful case study for the platform’s early indie upgrade era. Both are compact, story-forward games where small quality-of-life changes can matter, but the reasons to move over are different: Urban Myth Dissolution Center adds new interaction and archival features, while Schrodinger’s Call leans on resolution and frame-rate improvements.
Urban Myth Dissolution Center’s Switch 2 Edition is built around investigation feel
Urban Myth Dissolution Center Nintendo Switch 2 Edition adds Gallery Mode and Joy-Con 2 mouse controls. Shueisha Games says the Gallery lets players revisit the mystery adventure’s artwork at any time, while Joy-Con 2 mouse support is meant to give investigation segments a more direct feel. Nintendo Everything also lists Gallery Mode and mouse controls as the headline additions.
That is a sharper fit than a generic resolution bump would be. Urban Myth Dissolution Center, developed by Haka Bunko and published by Shueisha Games according to VGChartz, is described in the publisher-provided overview as an episodic digital mystery adventure about cases involving cursed relics, monstrous oddities, dimensional anomalies, and internet-haunting urban myths. Players take on those cases as Azami Fukurai under the supervision of Ayumu Meguriya, the Center Director and a Level S psychic. VGChartz’s text also highlights the game’s psychedelic pixel art, which makes a dedicated Gallery more meaningful than it might sound in a simpler text adventure.
For players who bounced off the original Switch version because cursor-like investigation felt slightly distant on a controller, Joy-Con 2 mouse support is the most relevant change. Shueisha has not provided, in the supplied material, a full breakdown of every scene or interface element that uses the feature, so it should be treated as a supported control option rather than a confirmed redesign of the entire game. Still, for an investigation game built on looking, selecting, and probing, a more precise input method is the kind of Switch 2 addition that can change the texture of play without changing the story.
The price is low, but regional listings do not line up perfectly
Shueisha Games lists Urban Myth Dissolution Center Nintendo Switch 2 Edition at 2,080 yen including tax, with an Upgrade Pack for Nintendo Switch owners at 100 yen including tax. Nintendo Everything reports the upgrade as $0.99. VGChartz reports the Switch 2 Edition is available for $18.98 and repeats the $0.99 Upgrade Pack price.
Those numbers point to the same broad message for existing owners: this is a very small paid upgrade, at least in the regions covered by the reporting. The exact new-purchase price may vary by region, and the supplied sources do not include a full eShop matrix. Readers should check their local Nintendo eShop before assuming the yen pricing maps neatly to their territory.
Urban Myth Dissolution Center is also not confined to Nintendo hardware. VGChartz reports that the game is available on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS, and Android in addition to the new Switch 2 release. That matters for buyers who care less about handheld Nintendo play and more about where they will actually finish a mystery adventure. The Switch 2 Edition’s specific appeal is the new hardware feature set: mouse-style Joy-Con 2 input and the Gallery. If those do not move the needle, the original Switch version remains the cheaper path for anyone who already owns it and does not need the new extras.
Schrodinger’s Call gets the cleaner technical upgrade
Schrodinger’s Call is receiving a Nintendo Switch 2 version with a more traditional technical pitch. Shueisha Games says the new version raises gameplay visuals outside of movie scenes to Full HD and lifts the frame rate from 30fps to 60fps. That distinction, “outside of movie scenes,” is important. The provided source material does not say that every part of the game has been remastered or that cinematic material has been changed, so the confirmed upgrade is specifically tied to gameplay visuals and frame rate.
VGChartz identifies Schrodinger’s Call as a spirit adventure game from publisher Shueisha Games and developer Acrobatic Chirimenjako, and reports that it first released for Nintendo Switch and PC on May 28. The official overview describes it as an adventure game about Mary, who wakes in a strange room with no memory and uses a mysterious phone to connect with souls who cannot die. Play revolves around choosing words to speak, choosing actions, calling different souls, and gathering information to move the story forward.
For that kind of game, 60fps is not the same selling point it would be in a precision platformer or action game. The value is in comfort and presentation: cleaner motion, sharper text-adjacent interface work, and a smoother feel while navigating calls, choices, and scenes. If you are starting fresh, the Switch 2 version sounds like the better Nintendo version on paper. If you already finished Schrodinger’s Call on Switch, the upgrade case depends on whether you expect to replay it or want the higher-spec presentation for a first complete run.
The Schrodinger’s Call save-transfer warning is the detail owners should not miss
The most practical piece of reporting around Schrodinger’s Call comes from Nintendo Everything: save data can only be transferred to Nintendo Switch 2 from Switch 1 when the game is launched for the first time. That creates a small but real trap for returning players. If you intend to bring your original Switch progress forward, do not casually boot the Switch 2 version before checking the transfer flow.
The supplied Shueisha release says Nintendo Switch owners can upgrade for 100 yen including tax, while VGChartz reports the Switch 2 version at $17.99. Nintendo Everything’s note that this is a separate Switch 2 version rather than a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition gives the save warning extra weight. It suggests owners should treat the first launch as part of the migration process, not as a harmless look at the title screen.
There is no equivalent save-transfer caveat for Urban Myth Dissolution Center in the provided material. That does not prove there are no constraints, only that the supplied reports call out the Schrodinger’s Call limitation specifically. If you are juggling both games, handle Schrodinger’s Call more carefully: confirm your Switch 1 save is ready, then launch the Switch 2 version when you are prepared to transfer.
Should original Switch owners upgrade? It depends on where you are in each story
For Urban Myth Dissolution Center owners, the upgrade is easy to recommend if you liked the game’s art, plan to revisit cases, or want to play investigation scenes with Joy-Con 2 mouse controls. At $0.99 as reported by Nintendo Everything and VGChartz, or 100 yen in Shueisha’s Japanese pricing, the cost is low enough that the question is less “is this a full remaster?” and more “will I actually use the additions?” Gallery Mode is most attractive after or alongside a playthrough, while mouse controls are strongest for new players or anyone replaying with a sharper input method.
For Schrodinger’s Call owners, the answer is narrower. The confirmed upgrades are Full HD gameplay visuals outside movie scenes and a jump from 30fps to 60fps. That is valuable for a cleaner first playthrough, but a completed narrative adventure has less built-in replay pressure than a systems-heavy game. If your save is mid-story, the upgrade could be worthwhile, provided you respect the first-launch save-transfer rule. If you already finished it and do not plan to return, the technical polish may not be enough on its own.
For new buyers looking at Nintendo Switch 2 indie games, the newer versions are the natural starting points. Urban Myth Dissolution Center offers the more platform-specific hook through Joy-Con 2 mouse support, while Schrodinger’s Call offers the clearer performance and image-quality improvement. Together, they show two routes for small narrative games on Switch 2: one uses the hardware to change how you touch the mystery, the other uses it to make a quiet story look and run more smoothly.
A small bundle signal, and a bigger question for Switch 2 indies
Shueisha Games also says a Steam bundle pairing Urban Myth Dissolution Center with Schrodinger’s Call is on the way, with details to follow through the official Shueisha Games X account. The provided announcement does not confirm a Nintendo eShop bundle, cross-buy offer, or combined Switch 2 package, so players should not assume one is coming to Nintendo’s storefront.
That leaves a familiar early-platform question: how cleanly will indie upgrades be communicated on Switch 2? In this pair alone, one game is framed as a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition with a low-cost Upgrade Pack, while the other is reported as a separate Switch 2 version that still has an owner upgrade price and a one-time first-launch save-transfer condition. None of that is impossible to manage, but it does ask players to read the listing before buying or booting.
The good news is that both releases have concrete, confirmed improvements rather than vague “enhanced for Switch 2” language. Urban Myth Dissolution Center Switch 2 adds Gallery Mode and Joy-Con 2 mouse controls. Schrodinger’s Call Switch 2 raises gameplay visuals outside movie scenes to Full HD and moves from 30fps to 60fps. For small narrative games, that specificity helps. The upgrade decision comes down to your relationship with each story: unfinished, beloved, or already shelved.
