Boing! Docomodake DS

Splendidly named platformer based on a Japanese phone company's mascot.

28th July ’08

Based upon the mascot of the leading Japanese mobile phone company, NTT DOCOMO, INC. – Boing! Docomodake DS will be released exclusively for the Nintendo DS™ this Autumn.

Set on the day of the annual festival held in the Docomodake Forest, the Docomodake family is nowhere to be seen! You play as Papa Docomodake and guide him through various obstacles and challenges in order to find his family and get them to the festival on time.

Obviously, Papa Docomodake has a trick or two to help him on his quest. With a tap of the stylus he can release ‘Minis’ that aid him when the going gets a little tough. Remember, Minis make the impossible possible!

‘Boing! Docomodake DS has all the elements needed for a great platform game’, says Peter Rollinson, Product Manager, Ignition Entertainment Ltd. ‘the game has a wide ranging appeal, and offers more than enough to keep all gamers happy’.
