Cool, I really like the look of this.

 

[Theswweet]

PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale (that the right name?) was a charming enough spin-off. Hopefully this is good too!

 

[Eferis]

Yay! I used to watch Doraemon every afternoon as a child. Looking forward to this, it'll probably be a day one purchase.

... aaaaand here it is:

Wait
Melons in Autumn?
Someone gotta remind me if that's the season for them XP

 

[Alextended]

Idk, we tend to have melons in summer around here...

I have almost zero knowledge of Doraemon outside of the occasional image or gif, but with how much folks seem to love it and my personal love of all things Harvest Moon or Harvest Moon-like I'm totally in for this one.

Doraemon is THE anime show of my country. There is basically no one here who haven't watched Doraemon anime and/or read the manga. Ever since I could watch a TV for the first time in my toddler days to today, I still watch Doraemon every Sunday at 8AM. The schedule has never been changed for the entirety of my life. "You can't have a Sunday morning without watching Doraemon." And you can go to any random house and you'll find a stack of Doraemon manga somewhere in there. It's that popular. It was also the very first anime movie that got imported in 2001.

I still watch Doraemon every Monday at 8AM. The schedule has never been changed for the entirety of my life. "You can't have a Sunday morning without watching Doraemon."

I was curious if the anime still held up today. That's awesome to hear that it does.

I'll have to check it out myself sometime before the game releases.

Oops, I mistook Sundah with Monday again.

The anime TV show is alright, but I'd recommend the movies. They have much better production value and a more modern artstyle. The stories are also pretty great with good life advices.

 

[Eila]

Pretty game. Looks good. Think they have the formula nailed down too well to screw it up.
The only problem is the people that don't know shit about Doraemon like me would probably miss on some neat tidbits of dialogue between characters. And I guess no marriage.

New trailer was just released, covering the game's systems. It's still in Japanese though.




There was also a full map of the island released earlier this month.

[texhnolyze]

Another trailer. Mostly focused on story and events. It's actually an isekai story.




There's also a direct gameplay video from last week.

Explore the world of Doraemon: Story of Seasons by interacting with folks in the town call ‘Natura’! The better your bond with the folks, the more events you can trigger and dive into the story of Natura.

Doraemon: Story of Seasons English version with English UI and Japanese voice-over will be available for Southeast Asia on the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam in late 2019.

 

[texhnolyze]

Looks like the English version is only coming to Southeast Asia, similar to the other Bandai Namco games.

 

[prudis]

western date confirmed

 

[texhnolyze]

Fantastic news.

 

[prudis]

 

[Arsene]

Namco REALLY should consider spacing out their releases.

Oh right, I read the calendar wrongly. Different formats always confuse me.

Nice regional pricing for me.

Just played through the introductions and managed to explore and grow some crops. It really is a Harvest Moon game with Doraemon skin. But since it's Doraemon, there's an actual story here, and there are lots of funny moments in the dialogue. I really love the tone of the game so much, both visually and narratively.
