An official Koupen-chan game is coming to the Nintendo Switch, and it looks magnificent

For those that have never met this adorable little creature, Koupen-chan is a super cute little baby emperor penguin that just wants to relax his life away. He would do exactly that were it not for the conniving little Shima Enaga, a foul mouthed little bird who wants to take over the world.

Issho ni Asobo Koupen-chan (Let’s Play Together) is a family friendly party style game that is currently set to release exclusively in Japan this summer. The game will include lots of mini games (including fishing) as well as a quest mode that allows you to tackle challenges in co-op and single player modes.

Koupen-chan is the product of Japanese artist Rurutea, and is widely known in his country of origin. Hopefully, we may even get to see the Koupenchan-chan Switch game in the west, though no official word has been heard.

While the game is a Japan exclusive, you can still access the download by creating a Japanese Nintendo eShop account.

For more information on the game, you can check out the official website, where it is mentioned that more details will be released in just two days!
