10AM PST has come and gone today, so you know what that means. Atlus USA’s mystery game announcement, hinted at via a recent newsletter<\/a>, has been officially unveiled! Common predication was for DS title Dokapon Journey<\/em>, but it’s actually not that. However, the predications did peg the correct series, just not the correct platform. While Dokapon Journey<\/em> may still wind up coming stateside, today’s game reveal is for Dokapon Kingdom<\/em><\/a>, a unique board game-RPG crossover title for PS2 and Wii. Basically, it’s like Mario Party<\/em> crossed with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles<\/em>. At least that’s the impression I get.<\/p>\n Check after the break for the debut trailer, gallery and official press release.<\/p>\n [gv data=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/Games\/DokaponKingdom\/Trailers\/DokaTrailer_05242008.flv” width=”416″ height=”352″][\/gv]<\/p>\n Have Friendships?

The King of Dokapon has offered you his throne; all he asks for in return is that you dispose of an invading horde of thieving monsters. Trouble is – you\u2019re not the only one he asked. Contend with up to three friends as you navigate playfields littered with challenges, monsters to defeat, and rare secrets to unlock. Warning: Relationship counseling not included.<\/p>\n Dokapon Kingdom is currently scheduled for release on October 14th, 2008.<\/p>\n Key Features: Dokapon Kingdom has not yet been rated by the ESRB.<\/p>\n About Dokapon Kingdom:<\/p>\n The Kingdom of Dokapon is a land of wealth and riches ruled by a gold-loving King and his daughter Princess Penny. One day, monsters begin appearing all over the realm, assaulting the towns and stealing all of the empire\u2019s wealth. The King, unable to collect taxes from his impoverished citizens, calls for heroes from across the land to come and rid his monarchy of these monsters.
