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.","whyItMatters":"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.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe build is split between two studios.

Edomea No. 5 appears as the final boss before a \u0026#34;To be continued\u0026#34; card closes the demo.

The demo's forced character cycling ends at Obaka 3-go, which is a design choice, not a slice of a finished game.","twitterPost":"Red Dune Games says the full Kyatto Ninden Teyandee game leans action adventure, while the TGS 2026 demo is a platformer.
