'Doraemon VR' Brings The World Of The Lovable Robotic Cat To Life

With yet another big Doraemon movie set for release this March, Bandai Namco has unveiled a new Doraemon themed virtual reality, or VR, experience to tie in with the film. If you are somehow unfamiliar with the phenomenon of Doraemon it started as a manga at the end of the 60's penned by Fujiko Fujio. The premise had a robotic cat called Doraemon from the 22nd century sent back in time to improve the fortunes of the Nobi family due to the prior failings of Nobita Nobi. Doraemon's mission then was to aid Nobita in the past but in typical fashion, the variety of Doraemon's future gadgetry often ended up making things worse but at the very least everybody had a great deal of fun while doing so. What's amazing about Doraemon as a series is that it has lost none of its vitality over the years.
