Samurai Pizza la cats are getting a new video game.

[Jeff]

It's confirmed by Gematsu that a new Samurai Pizza Cats is getting a new video game coming to all major platforms especially on Switch. The game will be a 2D sidescrolling/RPG (Goemon in a sense) with actual 2D animation from the show. The game will arrive in 2026.

And yes, the original cast of both English and Japanese Dub will reprise their roles.

OK, I didn't have the return of the Samurai Pizza Cats on my 2025 bingo card but hey, here we are. I remember watching this show when I was a kid and I loved it! The team that handled the English dub were abridging anime before it was cool, long before the days of LittleKuriboh and Team Four Star. I already have this game wish listed on Steam and I am eagerly awaiting a release date.

The Pizza Cats are Samurai, and I'd like to note
Their antics take your breath away
Like fur balls in your throat.
We kittens are a special breed. We never call retreat!
Whenever Big Cheese knocks us down
We land upon our feet!
So hail to thee, oh Pizza Cats!
Please ring your little bell
Although you may be pen and ink
We know you'll fight like
PIZZA CATS!

Oh my gosh. This was one thing I was not expecting (like everyone else here).

Blast from the past indeed!

Totally caught me off guard but this looks cute. I know my wife was happy.

Really hope the game will be as good as the show was, also is just me or does the game give of major Legend of the Mystical Ninja/Ganabara Goemon vibes. Not that I', complaining as I loved those games back in the day.

The show actually does have a Mystical Ninja/Ganbare Goemon vibe. The setting takes place in the Edo like era with a modern setting, samurai/ninjas fighting giant robots, and a Power Ranger Megazord like robot to defeat another giant robot, both have a character named Omitsu. And I kid you not, in the N64 Mystical Ninja game, Goemon actually says Teyandee. A catchphrase Yattarou/Speedy says in the series.

Well, I'm not a huge fan of the show but I liked the setting and the characters.

Wasn't it changed by Saban in the west? It's still a humour/self-aware toku parody (akin to TMNT for superheroes).

I loved the Famicom game myself.


I'm glad to see non pixel art non 3D stuff.

Honestly this was super unexpected for me. Definitely getting this when it's out.
