  • For being one of the most culturally significant manga this side of Sazae-san, Doraemon doesn�t

  • get that much press on this side of the pond. So while he�s been rendered in video game

  • format a bajillion times, he�s still perfect fodder for Strange Anime License Friday, brought

  • to you as usual by Felicity in Worcestershire. Unfortunately, from my own experiences with

  • video games in the Doraemon franchise... theyve been hit-or-miss at best, and miss at worst.

  • Hudson�s take on the robotic cat�s adventures served as the precursor to Mickey Mousecapades,

  • the title that famously solidified Disney�s relationship... with Capcom. Could Epoch do

  • any better with this RPG version? Well, they actually did... if youre willing to wade

  • through enough text to make that B-Daman game I did a few weeks back look terse and concise.

  • Playing as a dude (or dudette) who happens to live in Doraemon�s corner of town, youre

  • in a panic following the apparent theft of your cat (by the town�s infamous PET THIEVES)

  • and it�s up to you and the cast of Doraemon to get to the bottom of it. And I�m willing

  • to guess you have no idea who they are anyway. Fine enough. After an eternity of plot - okay,

  • so it was probably only an hour but still, AN HOUR OF PLOT AND THIS ISN�T EVEN FREAKING

  • PERSONA - you learn that the Pet Thieves are, in fact, ANIMAL-HEADED ALIENS FROM OUTER SPACE.

  • And while your initial attempt to ToeJam & Earl it onto their craft is unsuccessful, they

  • come back to abscond with three of your friends before departing to their homeworld. Fortunately,

  • as has been the case since 1969, Doraemon himself is nothing if not a Deus ex Machina

  • Elemental, managing to produce a spacecraft from his pouch and blast you off into actual

  • RPG gameplay. And, byactual RPG gameplay,� I mean numbers and attacks and commands, not

  • just fulfilling fetch quests and being introduced to everyone all at once.

  • And here... the game actually redeems itself. The standard random-battle RPG mechanics are

  • augmented by the introduction ofFriendship points,� vis those little yellow face icons

  • below the charactersstats. These are awarded for heroism (or lucky criticals) in the face

  • of battle, and follow a quick exchange between your party members. Collect three points and

  • a new command becomes available, which powers up the user and a teammate of choice for the

  • duration of the battle. It�s a spiffy little wrinkle, but I don�t know if it�s enough

  • to offset the tedium of searching for a lost cat for the first hour. I mean, geez, I�ve

  • got a detective agency in Hong Kong that handles all of that for me. I payem in Bryson

  • travelogues and the occasional volume of Chaucer.
