Dokapon: Ikari no Tekken returns to Nintendo Switch

New Dokapon Game Coming to Nintendo Switch Dokapon: Ikari no Tekken. Biccamera, a retailer in Japan, has just released pre-orders for the game.

Dokapon: Ikari no Tekken was originally released for the PlayStation in late 1999, but only in Japan. The Nintendo Switch version of this board game and RPG hybrid has new features planned, such as the addition of online play. The game can be paused at any time and resumed from where you left off. Another important feature is the double speed feature: you can increase the speed of the game by 3-5 times – this is even supported on the Internet.

It is not yet known whether Dokapon: Ikari no Tekken will be localized for the West. However, Idea Factory released Dokapon Kingdom: Connect – initially on the Wii – in the West last year, so it’s possible the company could do something similar. Dokapon: Ikari no Tekken will release on Switch in Japan on August 1, 2024.
