Doraemon: Nobita’s Little Star Wars 2021, a new video game based on the upcoming movie of the same name, will launch on Switch in Japan next year, retail listings reveal.
Said to be launching next March, the title is a party game that features scenes from the Doraemon: Nobita’s Little Star Wars movie remake – also releasing in March 2021 in Japan. A description of the title has been posted on Rakuten's product listing (thanks, Gematsu):
A Doraemon party game that everyone can play!
Packed with mini-games that let you experience scenes from the movie with up to four players, whether family or friends.
Aim for No. 1 in competitive play, or work together to defeat powerful enemies in cooperative play.
Play all sorts of mini-games to the fullest with simple controls using the Joy-Con controllers.
Enjoy the nail-biting story of the movie in a game!
You can even collect Doraemon’s Gadgets.
There's no confirmation of a western release just yet, so this may well remain a Japan-only affair, although the Switch has had a decent amount of Doraemon love just lately with Doraemon: Story of Seasons, a crossover title which did make its way to Europe and North America last year.
Are you a Doraemon fan? Are you hoping this makes it over to the west one day? Tell us below.

Surely they won't be allowed to use that name in the West. Think the house of mouse might have an issue...!
With Monster Energy Drink going after "God and Monsters".
Surely putting "Star Wars" in the games title will send alarms ringing over at Disney.
These aren't the Star Wars games I'm looking for.
Disney's lawyers saw that name and now they're salivating.
Meanwhile here I am still waiting for a localization of chronicle of the moon exploration
Disney might have to use FORCE to get them to change that name.
Disney to their lawyers: "You may fire when ready."
how are they able to even have 'Star Wars' in the title of anything without Disney suing them?
@Dr_Lugae Bethesda sued an Indie dev for using 'Scrolls' in the title of a game (Because of Elder Scrolls) and won. So, yeah there's no way this can stay the name
I know the name seems to be the talking point, but this game doesn't look that great regardless of what they'd call it.
What’s a Star Wars? Xxx
Too bad that we only got one Doraemon game translated from the handfull Switch games he actually got in japan.
@tsim21 What do you mean by West?
@XBontendo Why is that?
@Doofenshmirtz What?
@Custom1991
What do you mean by West? - Anything Europe or west of it due to Star Wars licensing and the size of the company that owns it
this game doesn't look that great regardless of what they'd call it. - Looks like a game fun for people familiar with the source material, but given my lack of familiarity, I'd likely have more fun playing Mario Party or a Jackbox Party pack
