On September 10, Red Dunes Games announced that a playable demo of the new game Kyatto Ninden Teyandee: Fukkatsu no Nyan-Ki! 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. The 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. The 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.
The demo appears on a Steam page under the English title "Samurai Pizza Cats: Blast from the Past!" The copyright line reads © BNF・Tatsunoko Production. The full press release frames the project as a "latest work delayed by 35 years" and says the visuals "look just like the anime of the 90s" but are entirely new. Satoru Akahori wrote the demo script, reviving the "fast-paced gags and dialogue" of the original series. Seiichiro Yamashita voices Sukashi, a role played in the original by Jurota Kosugi. Yamashita is a junior at the same agency as Kosugi. The booth giveaway follows the "cat ear headband" that excited fans at the February 2025 announcement. Details are set for the venue on the day. Social media reaction to the production trailer included "Teyandee is making an unexpected comeback in Reiwa!?" and "The reproduction of the cel-style animation is incredible!" The combined YouTube count of roughly 4,000 comments came as of September 7, 2026.
