Bandai Namco is working on a new Wii U and 3DS game featuring characters created by Fujiko F. Fujio. “SF Dotabata Party!!” is heading to both of Nintendo’s platforms, the company announced today.

Not many details have been shared thus far. It seems to be a party game with mysterious items and shenanigans from Fujio’s iconic manga characters.

For those curious, the SF stands for “sukoshi fushigi,” which means a “little marvelous” and “dotabata” is another word for slapstick. A teaser produced by Bandai Namco shows silhouettes of several popular characters such as Doraemon, Perman, Esper Mami, Koromaru from Kiteretsu Daihyakka and more.

This information comes from Shigeru Miyamoto, speaking with IGN…

“Well, we’re always experimenting with a lot of different kinds of new hardware. Certainly, we’ve put a focus more recently on what we can do to better improve the transition from one hardware system to the next. Going from GameCube to Wii, we were able to mature a smooth transition from one to the next in terms of the development environment. But with Wii to Wii U, there were some hurdles there that we had to overcome in making that transition to the new hardware system.”

“The question of whether or not we want to take a portable system and a home console system and decide if maybe, as the computer processing power improves, we could just simply say we’ll stick with a portable and make it something that could also be a home console system is a question that ties directly into product strategy, and is something I can’t really go into detail on.

“But what I can say is that, for the time being, our focus is really on developing and building these environments that will allow us to have a smooth transition from one hardware system to the next going forward. Other than that, you can look forward to what comes next.”
