The action game, originally by Hudson Soft, follows Doraemon using Secret Gadgets to find Nobita and friends. It never received a Western release.
Hamster Corporation announced the release on Wednesday, with a trailer streamed to accompany the news. The game was teased when the Console Archives series was first announced in February.
In the action game, Doraemon uses various Secret Gadgets to search for Nobita, Shizuka, Gian, and Suneo, who got lost due to a problem with their time machine. Hudson Soft developed the original for the Famicom in 1986.
The Doraemon manga, created by Fujiko Fujio A and Fujiko F. Fujio, ran from 1970 to 1996 and has inspired numerous anime films and three television anime runs. The current anime began in 2005 and remains highly rated on Japanese television.
