City Connection's Tokyo Game Show 2026 booth has playable demos of Jajamaru no Hyakki Yakou Den and Baseball Fighting League Man Bases Loaded. The new Ninja Jajamaru-kun entry is a hack-and-slash action game set in a yokai party dungeon, scheduled for release in 2027 on Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5. Players switch between sword, spear, kusarigama, hammer, and claws while collecting weapons and armor from treasure chests.
The playable demo of Jajamaru no Hyakki Yakou Den puts Jajamaru in a dungeon that turns out to be a yokai party venue, complete with a disco floor and speakers that pour out enemies. Weapons range from a well-balanced sword and a long-reach spear to a wide-sweeping kusarigama, a heavy hammer, and quick hand claws, with shuriken and kunai for ranged attacks.
Treasure chests drop weapons and armor with random effects, some carrying yokai powers such as the Inazuma Hebi Sword or the Okkake Pinbo Me Dama. A floor called the Hyakki Yakou Parade features dancing pixel-art boss yokai, and the exhibition version ends with a fight against Shamy, an Electric Shamisen Musician who uses lightning-fast dashes.
