Publisher Phoenixx and developers Bandai Namco Studios and GYAAR Studios will release a Switch version of mess-making dog adventure game DORONKO WANKO in spring 2025, the companies announced.
DORONKO WANKO first launched for PC via Steam on March 26. The Switch version will feature a litter of new playable dog breeds, which will be available as downloadable content for the PC version.
“Whether a veteran gamer needs a cozy, dog-themed palette cleanser, or a young child is experiencing their intro to the wonders of video games, DORONKO WANKO provides charming fun for all ages,” said Bandai Namco Studios in a press release. “We’re proud to bring an enjoyable, accessible game to such a prominent platform as the Nintendo Switch.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Phoenixx:
Mom keeps her house so pristine! It would be a shame if… newly-added furry friends… made a heckin’ mess all over the place! Alongside DORONKO WANKO‘s playful Pomeranian protagonist, unleash the rascal within as three new breeds are added to the mix of playable puppers.
How much will it cost to clean this up? As much as possible! Roll around in nearby puddles, tippy-tap into clean areas of the house, then shake-shake-shake to splatter muddy mayhem in every direction and rack up a six-figure housekeeping bill. Don’t worry, master could never be mad at such a cute, smol doggo, right?
Hop onto kitchen countertops, run across shelves, and into various rooms to paint a multicolored messterpiece by knocking over nearby staining liquids like tomato juice, wine, coffee, ink, and paint. Explore the entire house to find special rooms in which to wreak even more havoc prior to discovery.
Snoot-boop power buttons of nearby appliances — like robot vacuums and fans — that can fling muck even further than any floofer’s tiny toe beans could ever touch. Don dirt-spreading wearables like miniature mess cannons and sludge-spouting whales to dishevel rooms at a devious pace. Pick up misplaced items like mugs and toys, then return them to the right spot to solve bamboozling puzzles that unlock special gifts.
