Doki Doki Majo Shinpan! (どきどき魔女神判!, lit. 'Thump-Thump Witch Judgement', or idiomatically 'Heart-Pounding Magical Investigation')[1] is a video game developed by SNK Playmore for Nintendo DS. The player assumes the role of a junior high school student who is asked by an angel to locate a witch that has snuck into his school. In order to find the witch, he must search the suspects' bodies for a 'witch mark.' The preferred method is by using touch (using the stylus to guide his hands). A sequel titled Doki Doki Majo Shinpan 2 Duo was released 31 July 2008, and a third game titled Doki Majo Plus was released on July 30, 2009.

Release[edit]
Kotaku asked an SNK spokesperson if the game would be released in the US, and the response was '...this title is only for Japanese market. We do not have any plan for localize to the other versions.',[2] despite the game originally having official sites in English, Chinese, and Korean. These were taken offline when the Japanese language site was rewritten to focus on the upcoming sequel game.
A manga adaptation was published in Akita Shoten's 'Champion Red' starting in September 2007. It was illustrated by Ken Yagami.
Reception[edit]
According to online retailer Amazon.com, the game is the best selling pre-order game in Japan, and is more popular than The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.[3] However the actual numbers show that the game met with minimal sales and as of 2009 has only sold 50,000 units.[citation needed]Although the game was never commercially released in North America, it was the subject of a number of webcomics and internet shows. These include:
- A Penny Arcade comic in April 2007.[4]
- Two Dueling Analogs comics, one in March 2008.[5] and another in December 2008 [6]
- Used as an example of 'child molestation' games in a list of bad types of video games and also mentioned to highlight the cultural differences between the west and Japan in the popular videogame reviews, Zero Punctuation.[7][8]
The import review in NGamer (like its predecessor NGC Magazine, famous for comical reviews of particularly bad games), was so disturbed by the game that it abandoned its normal percentage scoring system and awarded it a 'score' of simply 'NO' in every category. In a later issue (18) it 'awarded' it 'The Superman 64 Award For Worst Game (of 2007)' (for years, the magazine considered Superman 64 to be the worst game ever made), remarking 'There are bad games - technically flawed and conceptually lazy - and then there are bad games. Evil bad. Doki Doki a.k.a. The Meh Witch Touching Project, is one such title.'[citation needed] The sequel, however, received 40%, an actual score.

Doki Doki Majo Shinpan 2 Duo (どきどき魔女神判2, lit. 'Thump-Thump Witch Judgement 2', or more accurately translated as 'Heart-Pounding Magical Investigation 2')[9] is the sequel to the Japan-exclusive Doki Doki Majo Shinpan!. A third game titled Doki Majo Plus was released on July 30, 2009.
Similarly to the first game, players determine whether female characters are witches by touching their bodies with the stylus. However, unlike its predecessor, this title exhibits new features such as an enhanced witch-check touching system[10] and microphone input.[11]
The game resumes with Akuji, the main character of the first game, this time in high school.The game is rated D (17 years and over) in Japan by the CERO because of the nudity and sexual references presented in the game.[citation needed]
