Nintendo Switch software "Dora Think: Nobita's Exciting Brain Adventure" will be released by Shogakukan in January next year!
(Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President: Kei Kawashima; hereafter "WonderLab"), the Nintendo Switch software "Dora Think: Nobita's Exciting Brain Adventure" supervised by WonderLab, will be released on January 26, 2023 (Thursday) by Shogakukan. The game will be released on January 26, 2023 (Thursday) from Shogakukan. Under the supervision of WonderLab, the book contains more than 1,000 questions from the "Think Think" educational application. It is an educational software that helps children develop their thinking skills naturally while playing games. Pre-orders are now being accepted in advance of the release.
You can enjoy challenging thinking skills problems with Doraemon and his friends!
In this software, players will join Nobita and his friends on an adventure to rescue Doraemon from a mysterious castle, while defeating enemy robots by solving thinking problems such as figures, puzzles, and mazes. The characters are voiced, of course, by the same splendid voice actors who are well-known in the anime.
In battles, players select the type of question to match the attributes of the enemy robot, challenge multiple questions within a time limit, and damage the enemy according to the number of correct answers to defeat him. The player must also make full use of Doraemon's "secret tools," which are sometimes given as items, to defeat the enemies and advance through the castle stages in order to clear the stage. The graphics and sounds of the game are just like those of a full-fledged RPG, and will capture the hearts of children. As the game progresses through the stages, the types of problems increase and the level of problems improves, effectively nurturing "thinking skills" such as plane/space awareness, numerical thinking, logic, and trial-and-error skills while enjoying the game.
More than 1,000 "think-think" questions are included under the supervision of WonderLab!
This software contains more than 1,000 questions from "Think Think", an educational application enjoyed by 2 million children in 150 countries. WonderLab fully supervised the selection of questions, level time limits, and other aspects of the design to ensure that children who pick up the software will enjoy it to the fullest.
The problems in the game, such as "Shutter Chance" and "Square Puzzle," are all familiar to sync-sync users, and can be continued in sync-sync further after playing this software.
