This week, publisher Red Dunes Games and developer BLAST ZERO announced Samurai Pizza Cats: Blast from the Past, a 2D action-RPG based on the famous anime series Samurai Pizza Cats, well known to children in the 80s and 90s.
Produced by Tatsunoko Studios, this 54-episode Japanese series premiered in February 1990. It features three pizza-delivery cats who, thanks to their samurai skills, battle a multitude of robotic enemies in a Japan combining medieval times and technology.
In the game, it will be possible to switch instantly between the heroes to exploit their unique abilities, whether to solve puzzles or triumph in battle, with special attacks directly inspired by the anime.
The title will also feature a RPG Lite aspect, allowing characters to level up and equip them with special cards to improve their chamurai skills.
Fans of VO will be delighted to learn that the original Japanese and American casts will reprise their roles, adding an extra touch of authenticity. The series' original scriptwriter, Satoru Akahori, will also be taking part.
The trailer below reveals the first visuals of the game, and it's clear that the graphics, animations and menus pay homage to the anime.
You can play Little Tokyo in 2026 on all major platforms.
