Aksys Games is localizing The Apprentice Witch and Fluffy Friends for North America, a listing on Amazon has revealed. It will be known as “Moco Moco Friends” here in the west.

Here are some additional details from Amazon’s listing:

– Battle against your rivals, scavenge items, venture through massive dungeons
– Evolve your Moppet monsters and travel with your companions across the magical realm of Dreamt ropy
– Lead your Moppets to victory in turn based battles. Fight, befriend and evolve Moppets on your quest to banish evil from Dreamt ropy
– 120 types of Moppet monsters to collect
– Teleport to dungeons using the town portal/gate. The garden allows the player to grow crops or collect items

Amazon lists a tentative November 17 release date for Moco Moco Friends. You can read more about the game in our original report here.
