Why it matters

The demo builds its pitch on period-accurate presentation (4:3 aspect ratio, scanlines, and monaural-style audio), positioning the title as a retro-styled action game rather than a straightforward anime tie-in.

Key Facts

  • The game is based on Kyatto Ninden Teyandee, the Tatsunoko Production anime that aired 54 episodes from 1990 to 1991.
  • The demo is a 2D side-scrolling platformer where players control Yattaro, Sukashy, and Pururun, switching characters once all three are assembled.
  • The demo features newly produced animated cutscenes made by the Dutch studio Blast Zero.
  • The official release date has not been announced.

The Japanese title is Kyatto Ninden Teyandee ~Fukkatsu no Nyankee! Yappari Ashita wa Nihonbare!, also known as Samurai Pizza Cats: Blast from the Past! in English, announced in February 2025. The demo runs from September 17 to September 21 at Makuhari Messe, and is a 2D side-scrolling platformer. Players control Yattaro, then Sukashy, then Pururun, and once all three assemble, the ninja squad Nyankee is complete and the player can switch between them with the shoulder buttons. The demo ends after the boss Obaka 3-go and a cliffhanger. The game also features newly produced animated cutscenes, and a booth PR representative said the full game is expected to lean more toward an action adventure.

The build is split between two studios. Dutch developer Blast Zero makes the game, and the animated event scenes are newly produced for this title, not reused from the 1990 television run.

The cast list runs close to the original ensemble:

  • Kappei Yamaguchi as Yattaro
  • Seiichiro Yamashita as Sukashy
  • Ai Orikasa as Pururun
  • Koichi Yamadera as Karamaru
  • Sakiko Tamagawa as Otama
  • Kenyu Horiuchi as narrator

Satoru Akahori, who handled series composition on the original anime, wrote the Japanese script for the demo and said: "It's a miracle to be involved again after 35 years. I feel a perfect 'new work' has arrived, with such high quality." Seiichiro Yamashita is a junior at the same agency as Jurota Kosugi, the original voice of Sukashy.

The demo opens with the Karakara clan mecha Edomea No. 5 running loose in Edoropolis, and the narration line "Nothing has changed in 35 years!" plays over that scene. Edomea No. 5 appears as the final boss before a "To be continued" card closes the demo. Koban coins float unexplained through the stages, and defeated enemies fly toward the foreground, falling as if against an invisible wall. Playable visitors receive acrylic stands of Yattaro and the others.
