Dokapon 3-2-1 Super Collection Announced for Nintendo Switch: Classic RPG Series Returns in 2026

Sint has officially announced the upcoming release of 'Dokapon 3-2-1 Super Collection' for the Nintendo Switch, marking a major revival for the beloved RPG party series.

The collection is scheduled to launch in Japan on January 29, 2026, bringing a trio of classic Super Famicom Dokapon games to Nintendo’s modern hybrid platform. The 'Dokapon 3-2-1 Super Collection' will feature enhanced versions of three titles originally launched in the 1990s for the Super Famicom: 'Dokapon 3-2-1: Arashi o Yobu Yuujou,' 'Kessen Dokapon Oukoku IV: Densetsu no Yuusha Tachi,' and 'Dokapon Gaiden: Honoo no Audition.' These games are renowned for their unique blend of RPG mechanics, board game elements, and competitive multiplayer gameplay—an approach that continues to hold a special place among Japanese gaming enthusiasts. As detailed in Sint’s announcement, this Nintendo Switch collection will also include modern improvements designed to streamline the gameplay experience for both newcomers and longtime fans.

Notably, a double speed mode will let players move through turns and battles faster, while an added instruction manual mode will help familiarize users with each game’s mechanics and rules.

These quality-of-life features demonstrate Sint’s commitment to making these retro RPG classics accessible and enjoyable on contemporary hardware. While the collection's Japanese release is confirmed, there is currently no official word on whether 'Dokapon 3-2-1 Super Collection' will be released in Western markets.

However, previous Dokapon titles like 'Dokapon Kingdom Connect' and 'Dokapon: Sword of Fury' have successfully made the leap to both North America and Europe, suggesting that an international launch could be considered in the future. Since its inception, the Dokapon series has carved out a unique niche among RPG party games, and its return via the Nintendo Switch is likely to be celebrated by fans of classic Japanese gaming.

With the resurgence of retro gaming and the continued strength of the Nintendo Switch eShop, Sint’s revival of these legacy titles is both a nod to nostalgia and a strategic move for the modern market. Players and collectors eager to revisit these iconic games—or experience them for the first time—should keep an eye on upcoming announcements from Sint and Nintendo Directs for further updates on possible worldwide availability.

For now, the January 29, 2026 Japanese release of Dokapon 3-2-1 Super Collection stands as a significant milestone in the ongoing legacy of this storied series.
