Dokapon Journey Getting Localized
Officially Announced By Atlus Today

Atlus has announced today that 'Dokapon Journey Nakayoku Kenka Shite' is getting localized and is coming to North America under the title 'Dokapon Journey'. The game is a RPG-board game for the Nintendo DS, and offers single or multi-card local wireless play with up to three other players! The game is "scheduled for release on April 14, 2009".

The story is simple; the kingdom of Dokapon has been invaded by monsters, and the king of the land has offered his throne and the hand of his daughter in marriage to whomever can rid the land of the monsters. Many adventurers have their eye on the rewards, so the player must battle it out amongst the other adventurers to save Dokapon and claim the prizes.

Key Features

* Irresistible board game-RPG combination - This board game and RPG fusion will make you think strategy like never before on Nintendo DS! Customization, strategy, and depth are all yours as you squeeze battling, leveling up, conquering towns, and much more into each turn.
* Playing dirty is the name of the game - This is all-out, winner-take-all competition, where the system favors those that know how to fight dirty! Jump into someone else’s fight, finish off the enemy, and snatch the experience. Mow down your competition and take a reward from their inventory. Use special items to slow down or injure those who get in your way!
* Total multiplayer experience - The zany head-to-head-to-head (-to-head) competition of board games is in full force whether you play alone or in a group! Assign control of each character to a human or one of three computer play styles. Get your friends together, and up to 4 can play in single- or multi-card mode!

So it's the exact same thing as the Wii game? Awesome, I had so much fun playing that with friends!

I just wish it was Wifi enabled.

There's a Wii game? o-o I thought it was DS only... well in that case, I would assume they are the same. This one does have wi-fi though, and in my opinion looks really fun.

No Wi-Fi unfortunately

Still, going to be a great game!

I loved the Wii game, just haven't played in a while. I would like a portable version even more.

Why does this game look so Summon Night-ish?

I loved playing the PS2 game (Dokopan Journey) at parties. All of my friends apparently have PS2's now.
