Idea Factory International is bringing Dokapon Kingdom: Connect over to the west. This marks the first localization of the series in quite some time, as the last entry to get an official English translation was 2008's Dokapon Journey, for the Nintendo DS. Dokapon Kingdom: Connect is a remaster of Dokapon Kingdom, a multiplayer board game with RPG elements. This remaster also features online play, which will allow up to 4 players to play versus over the internet. Dokapon Kingdom: Connect will release exclusively for the Nintendo Switch sometime this Spring.

Ah yes, one of the few games able to compete with Mario Party in terms of relationships ended.

Can't believe it's only January and we already have the GOTY announced.

more wii ports perfect for the switch

 

[Windaga]

I had so much fun with this game on the Wii. Pretty excited to see it come back

 

[Scarlet]

Huuuuuge! Can’t wait to play.

 

[Wolfy]

Hell yes, I've loved this game and now I can have a copy on the Switch(hopefully there will be a physical release)!

I'm sure it's a cheap cash-in, but this and Fortune Street would be such obvious switch releases that I'm pretty disappointed in Square for not having bothered. I guess because they don't think sales would warrant the effort of building new boards for the Mario side (for DQ they could just reuse the fan favorites from the PS4 game), to say nothing of having to translate all of the character dialogue again.

 

[Fyrus]

God-damned I always hoped this game would come back, I can die happily now

This is a PS2 port, really.

Then again, the Switch port might be based on the Wii port of the PS2 original.

Compete??? I've seen lifelong friends not talk to eachother for months over this game. This is the end all be all shit starter. Start your game as a thief and watch your friends talk shit for weeks, choose the demon lord option and they'll do it for years!

Another day, another port...

That being said, I always kick myself for not picking up a disc-only copy of the game for Wii for $30. It's now outrageously expensive. Maybe this will drive down the price...that'd be nice (though not likely).

I haven't watched (nor obviously played) the Wii version but this doesn't seem like it has much (if anything?) in terms of improvements outside of online.

 

[AlexMCS]

Oh it's just a port....
Got my hopes up for nothing...

I was hoping it was at least the new game with the Utawarerumono characters, even if it's kinda sucky.

I already play this on Doplhin every now and then with upscaled graphics/HD textures.

From the trailer, there is nothing new other than online play (which you can already do on PC).
This is purely a cash grab.

Amazing news for those who don't emulate though.

This looks like a GameCube game, smh.

Based on this key art, I'd say it's coming

Slick, I watched enough before I realized they probably didn't add anything new. Bit sad, but still a classic so not too bad.

Better than paying absurd prices for the Wii or PlayStation 2 version, at least. Thanks Atlus!

 

[tmnr1992]

Nice, now I'll be able to get it for less than $200.

Why would you pay for a game that old?

Don't even try hinting at piracy
