the hayarigami series, hokkaido serial murders case (the sequel to portopia), d4 too now that i think abt it. maybe deadly premonition 1 and 2? i dont think york and aisha are ever called "detectives" per se but they are federal agents doing what could be called detective work

pro yakyuu? satsujin jiken!
takes the piss out of contemporary famicom releases by combining the two most tries and true genres: baseball sims and detective adventure games.
