Atlus
Announces Dokapon Journey for Nintendo DS

Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today invited
brave adventurers in search of fame and fortune to hit the road… literally. In
the RPG-board game Dokapon Journey for Nintendo DS, monsters have invaded the
Kingdom of Dokapon, and the King has offered his throne and the hand of his
daughter to any challenger who would rise to the occasion and save the land.
Alas, that kind of offer is bound to attract some very over-determined
adventurers…

Alone against devilish AI, or
together with up to three of your friends via single- or multi-card local
wireless play, sign up to save the Kingdom and win the throne. Just make sure to
sabotage the competition at every chance you get!

Dokapon Journey is currently
scheduled for release on April 14, 2009.

About Dokapon Journey

The Kingdom of Dokapon is in peril!
Desperate to do away with the monster invasion that has overrun his land, the
King has offered his crown and the hand of his daughter, Princess Penny, to
whoever can restore peace once again. Heroes from distant lands rise to the
call, but with multiple adventurers offering to assist in the struggle, each
eagerly eyeing the prizes that await the champion of Dokapon, they must now
fight amongst themselves to save the kingdom and claim their reward!
