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.

– Orochi is summoned by Dogen
– Described as the physical manifestation of shinobi malice
– Was summoned in an incomplete form
– Because of this, parts of its body are initially lacking, compelling it to rebuild itself using the wreckage of destroyed castles to compensate
– Juura is a new enemy spirit
– It takes shape as 2 spheres
– The story behind it entails the spirit falling out of a gigantic shadowy bosom
– Juura is the physical form of the collective regrets of deceased young girls who idolized adults
– Goza’s body resembles an octopus
– Goza has something of a proclivity for water
– Goza is driven mad by the faces that are drawn all over its body
– As a result, Goza subsumes a ship whole and clings to it for dear life
– Mikami is another antagonist
– Mikami is a pair of sisters whose bodies are half-human on top and half-centipede on the bottom
– Mikami likes to cause loud thunder and gusts of wind for fun that are so strong they actually break through shinobi spiritual barriers and affect the outside world
– Challenge mode
– In these, players need to clear successive rooms of enemies without being able to heal up
– A band of ten especially powerful spirits are said to be present in the mode
– Their strength are derived from the power of shinobi blood

– When clearing a room for the first time, players can start later runs in Spirit Den from that point as they attempt to reach the end
– The game will also feature an alternative set of Special Missions that require players to accomplish obtuse objectives in ways that aren’t viable during normal play
– Ex: destroy every crate in an area, defeat enemies only be repelling them
– Beat these missions to gain powerful equippable Shinobi Gems
– Three of these can be assigned to a character at any given time, with sharing between characters possible
– Game also has a new Desperation mode that can be triggered during Shinobi Tenshin when the player has accumulated the maximum number of scrolls that can be carried on hand
