Doraemon
A robotic cat from the future who assists Nobita with gadgets and leads the investigation.
How it plays
The game presents a 3D adventure around Nobita's town. Players investigate events, visit different locations, talk with characters, and work through platforming and environmental challenges.
Doraemon's gadgets provide the main problem-solving tools. Progress is organized through story events and area objectives, with new situations becoming available as the investigation advances.
Plan your run
Explore each accessible part of town before moving on. Talk to residents again after major story events, since conversations and newly available routes can reveal the next objective.
Use Doraemon's gadgets for their intended environmental purpose rather than treating every obstacle as a platforming challenge. Keep track of unusual objects, blocked paths, and locations that change after key events.

Doraemon 3: Nobita's Town SOS! is a Nintendo 64 action-adventure game developed by Hudson Soft and published by Epoch in Japan. It uses the Doraemon cast in a three-dimensional story set around Nobita's neighborhood, where an unusual crisis requires investigation and help from Doraemon's future gadgets. The game combines exploration, platforming, light puzzle solving, and character-driven events rather than focusing on combat alone. Players move through recognizable town locations, solve obstacles, and advance the story by completing situations involving Nobita and his friends. Its colorful presentation and accessible structure fit the family-oriented Doraemon license. Reception has generally been associated with its appealing atmosphere and faithful use of the characters, while its limited release outside Japan kept it relatively obscure internationally.
