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.
