Announced at yesterday’s OTK Games Expo, Bandai Namco has declared that Doronko Wanko, a game featuring arguably the most adorable Pomeranian we have ever encountered, is set to arrive on Switch in Spring 2025.
To our British readers, yes, we know, please stop chuckling in the background. The title of the game actually comes from わんこ Wan ko, which is a casual or endearing term for dog or puppy in Japanese. Children commonly use it. And let’s be honest, the puppy in this game is just incredibly cute.
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, what exactly is Doronko Wanko? The game was released on Steam back in March 2024 and has received over 3,000 reviews, earning an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating. It is currently free (we suspect it may not be the same on Switch), and was one of three titles launched on the same day as part of the company’s recent 2023 training program for new hires.
