Play Doraemon 3 - Nobita to Toki no Hougyoku (Japan) Online

Doraemon 3: Nobita to Toki no Hougyoku came out in 1994 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, published by Epoch Co., Ltd. It was part of a wave of licensed games on the SNES, many of which were only released in Japan. This one follows Nobita and Doraemon as they jump through different time periods, trying to fix history after a magical jewel shatters.

You control Nobita, sometimes with Doraemon’s help, moving screen by screen through side-scrolling levels. Your main goal is to collect pieces of the Time Jewel across prehistoric, feudal, and future eras. You use Doraemon’s gadgets to progress, like the Take-Copter for flying over gaps or the Anywhere Door to access new areas. Combat is simple, often involving thrown items or gadgets to fend off enemies like dinosaurs or samurai. The pacing is steady, though some sections can feel repetitive. It feels like a light, charming adventure that captures the spirit of the series without being too demanding.
