The Japanese-style 3D action game Otogi Katsugeki Mameda no Bakeru: Oracle Saitarou no Sainan!! was announced by developer Good Feel, known for games such as Yoshi’s Crafted World and Kirby’s Epic Yarn, during the Japanese version of the recent Nintendo Direct livestream. The game is set to be released in winter 2023 for Nintendo Switch.

In this game, players will take on the role of Bakeru, a tanuki disguised as a human, who steps up to confront the mischievous festival army causing trouble throughout Japan. He can wield weapons resembling taiko sticks for combat and has the ability to transform into mythical heroes like Momotaro and Kintaro, which changes his attack style. Momotaro can use long-range weapon attacks similar to wielding a spear, while Kintaro can launch powerful attacks with his axe.
