Take a trip to Dokapon Kingdom
Usually our irrational love for hybrid games is sated on the DS, but not the Wii. In the instance of Dokapon Kingdom, though, gamers (with Japanese or modded Wiis, at least) can experience a quirky mix on Nintendo's non-portable system, too.
So, what particular combination does Dokapon consist of, you ask? Simply enough, this title is a board-game meets RPG. From what we can tell, the Wii version is actually a port of the PS2 game that was released last November, but it's probably safe for us to assume that most of you never played it the first time around.
Should you be interested, the game releases in Japan this June. If you don't have a Wii capable of playing Japanese games and are worried that Datel's Freeloader might not work, though, you can look into the non-port DS version of Dokapon instead.
In any case, we've made a gallery of Dokapon Kingdom for your viewing pleasure (aren't we just the greatest?), and also posted some Famitsu screens that can be seen beyond the break.

so does the freeloader work on US systems, or just the PAL wii's? I'm pretty sure it's the latter.. which leads me to ask you wiifanboys (and girls, im not sexist lol) when it IS coming to America. I've been really patient (kinda) but i'd like to start being able to enjoy a few Japanese releases that never came here (like Gundam 0079).

There's a US and a PAL version of Freeloader.

I'd probably grab this for my modded Wii if I could understand Japanese, it looks.. interesting to say the least.
Is this getting an English release? From what I can tell, most Dokapon games have been Japanese only.
