TOKYO – July 23, 2025 – DORONKO WANKO, the casual-yet-mischievous mess-making canine adventure game developed by Bandai Namco Studio and published by Phoenixx Inc., bounds onto Nintendo Switch eShop today for $4.99, alongside new dog breeds for both Steam and Switch. Steam users can add individual dog breeds to their kennel for $1.99, or bundle all five breeds together for $4.99.
“Who’s a good boy? Whoseagoodboyyy? You are! Yes you are! So fluffy, so obedient, so swee—WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE HOUSE!?” Terrorize master’s domain with five new adorable-yet-troublemaking breeds as Corgis, Shibas, Jack Russell Terriers, Bulldogs, and Toy Poodles join the mess-making mix.
With the last family member finally out of sight, man’s best friend becomes a messy menace — charge through the home, track mud onto every surface, and rack up the costliest cleaning bill possible. Mom and Dad won’t be angry at such a cute doggo…right?
Fling muck onto every surface: spill wine bottles on the floor, splash paint on the walls, and shake grime from the pupper's filthy fur onto nearby furniture. It’s not all about destruction — haul scattered toys back to their rightful rooms (good dog!) to unlock new items, areas, and mess-making capabilities (bad dog!).
Double the disarray with the assistance of rogue robo-vacuums and spinning fans that can spread dirt farther than those tiny paws could ever reach. Can these playful pups get any cuter? Yestheycanohmygoodness! Put on precious pirate hats or angelic halos — because they’re innocent!
To celebrate the arrival of the five adorable new dog breeds, enter for a chance to win one of ten floofy DORONKO WANKO plushies by posting your best in-game screenshot or video of a precarious puppy predicament with #DORONKOWANKO and #minnanowanko on X or Instagram. The cuter, the better! Contest entries open today and close on August 16th, 2025.
Enjoy DORONKO WANKO’s mischievous melodies anytime on the official soundtrack created in collaboration with SACRA GAME MUSIC available today on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming platforms.
“We’re usually on the receiving end of a lovable dog’s destructive tendencies, but we can’t help but admit it’s fun to goof around from the puppy’s perspective,” says publisher Phoenixx Inc. “DORONKO WANKO is fun for dog lovers of all ages. With more dog breeds to choose from, we invite previous players to rediscover the joy of playful chaos all over again.”
DORONKO WANKO is now available for Nintendo Switch for $4.99, and is free-to-play on Steam. Steam users can now add individual dog breeds to their kennel for $1.99 each, or bundle all five new breeds together for $4.99.
