Mobage’s Next Super-Hit Is Coming: Doraemon Hokkorina [Social Games]

M

Following One Piece and Final Fantasy BrigadeMobage is about to get another super-hit game soon: DeNA announced Doraemon Hokkorina for spring this year, a social game based on the popular cartoon series Doraemon.

Doraemon was first released as a manga in 1969, then turned into an anime series and was later used for video games, all kinds of merchandising, TV commercials, musicals, feature films, etc. The protagonist of the same name is a blue cat with special powers – the series is very popular in Japan and other parts of Asia.

In the game, players team up with Doraemon and use secret tools in order to finish missions requested by other characters from the cartoon. According to DeNA, users will be able to collect a total of 1,000 different tools throughout the game.

Players can also expect a story mode and an “adventure mode, which allows them to use a time machine (pictured on the top right on the image below) to travel to the past or future.

DeNA is already accepting pre-registrations for Doraemon Hokkorina on Mobage for feature phones and smartphones.
