DORONKO WANKO’s Puppy Pandemonium and Cuddly Catastrophes Tippy-Taps onto Nintendo Switch July 23

TOKYO – June 17, 2025 – DORONKO WANKO, the casual-yet-mischievous mess-making canine adventure game developed by Bandai Namco Studios and published by Phoenixx Inc., spreads muddy mayhem to the Nintendo Switch eShop on Wednesday, July 23rd, 2025 for $4.99, debuting new dog breeds for both Steam and Switch at launch. Steam users can add individual dog breeds to their kennel for $1.99, or bundle all five breeds together for $4.99.

DORONKO WANKO’s new content proves that any puppy can cause plentiful property damage! The chaotic Corgi, sneaky Shiba-Inu, energetic Jack Russell Terrier, tenacious bulldog and crafty Toy Poodle join the poofy Pomeranian protagonist in a lineup of playable mischief-makers.

Mom has fallen asleep, and the rest of the family is out, leaving the adorable new pup in charge of the house — what could go wrong? Help the housekeeping bill skyrocket to six figures in a flash as the unsupervised Pome crashes into crates of wine, shakes sodas all over the sofa, and leaves paw prints on prized possessions. No one could get mad at a tiny puppy…right?

Spread mud and a plethora of paint colors across the freshly mopped floor to uncover hidden puppy pictures around the (formerly) valuable home. Return misplaced toys to their rightful rooms to open new areas and passages. Cross each tier of irreversible damage to unlock gadgets like fans, vacuum robots, and paint turrets, perfect for covering every square foot with colorful stains!

Locate and unlock aww-inducing accessories lying around the house and hop on the latest pet fashion trends. Sniff out some cool shades, celebrate a hard day’s work with a party hat and balloons, make giant messes with paint-spraying whale and elephant hats, or don a devious pair of devil horns - a perfect fit for oh-so-innocent puppies.

Go hands-on with DORONKO WANKO’s newest content ahead of launch at Bitsummit from July 18th-20th, 2025.
