Yappari Ashita wa Nihonbare! will be shown for the first time at Tokyo Game Show 2026. The event runs from September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe, and the demo will be available only at the venue. A teaser video was also released, showing protagonist Yattaro and what appears to be his archenemy Karamaru, hinting at their first confrontation in 35 years.\n\nThe game is based on the 1990 anime Kyatto Ninden Teyandee, known in English as Samurai Pizza Cats. Dutch studio Blast Zero is developing the title, and Red Dunes Games of the United Arab Emirates handles worldwide distribution. When the production announcement trailer appeared in February 2025, it became the top social media trend, and the combined YouTube view count for the Japanese and English versions passed 1 million as of September 7, 2026.\n\nThe demo focuses on 2D action and platforming, letting players switch among Yattaro, Sukashi, and Pururun in the setting of Edopolis. It includes animated cutscenes newly produced in-house by Blast Zero. Satoru Akahori, who handled series composition for the original anime, wrote the Japanese script. The voice cast includes Kappei Yamaguchi, Seiichiro Yamashita, Ai Orikasa, and Kenyu Horiuchi, with Koichi Yamadera and Satomi Korogi newly joining.","whyItMatters":"The demo's world premiere at TGS 2026 is the first concrete playable reveal for a franchise revival that has drawn over 1 million YouTube views across two language versions since its February 2025 announcement.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe demo appears on a Steam page under the English title \u0026#34;Samurai Pizza Cats: Blast from the Past!\u0026#34; The copyright line reads © BNF・Tatsunoko Production.
