At Tokyo Game Show 2026, Sanrio's development team spoke about Sanrio Party Land, the Nintendo Switch title from its in-house Sanrio Games brand. Game Division general manager Katsuyoshi Tanabe and marketing senior manager Toya Yoneda described a party game built around playing together across generations, with more than 145 Sanrio characters and 16 partner characters, and Yoneda demonstrated single-player play with Hello Kitty and Pompompurin on stage.
The talk event ran on September 17, the first business day of Tokyo Game Show 2026, at the Sanrio Games booth. Sanrio's team said the game was built as a place to encounter characters, and that the mechanics were chosen so players could play without getting confused by the controls, change how they play based on available time, and play plenty alone, which pushed the project into the party game genre. The stage featured Hello Kitty and Pompompurin, and Yoneda's demonstration covered single-player play, while Tanabe noted that four-player sessions split the screen into four.
