This is surprising to me that this would get a US release given how little presence Doraemon has with the US anime fandom. They had that Disney dub of the anime recently but I don't know it did that well in ratings and it still doesn't have a DVD release. But I'm glad to see Doraemon getting some Western media attention.

I'm amazed that Bandai decided to distribute a Doraemon game for the western market, specially since the show wasn't a success for Disney Anime hyper. I mean, the anime is somewhat popular in parts of Europe and Latin America, but to my knowledge no game was brought to those markets, although I think a Doraemon mobile phone game was released in Spain in 2007.
I just hope that the names from the Disney Anime hyper dub are used only in the English version, most other countries left the names intact.

The ratings weren't too good. There's a Disney Ratings thread on ToonZone that has the ratings for season 2: https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/disney-ratings-thread.5459741/

I think the reason why the show lacks a DVD release here in the US is just due to lack of interest.

Same. Hopefully the US could get some more Doraemon-related stuff if this game sells well.

There's already plenty of merchandise based on the franchise sold at Epcot. I actually took a picture with Mickey Mouse holding a Doraemon plush.
