So, random encounters? Is this like Zelda 2?
Seems fun.
Hope is not too expansive.
Seems more like Gargoyle's Quest
But it's not like they were terribly different
I want to fuck this cat
They managed to make it look like a 90's anime. That's kinda neat.

The fact that this game exists, in today's era of gaming, blows my mind. They have to know it won't make triple A money. Why produce it at all?
youtube.com
That's because they used the old ways.
because astro saved gaming
It's a passion project. It only happened at all because the developers took a chance an asked for the Pizza Cats to be guest characters in the Japanese arcade release of their previous game.
$20 all day
I'm surprised video game passion projects still exist. They used to be all over the PS2/360 era.
Yeah. But it's always a pleasant surprise when one pops up. They have even managed to get the original artist on board for this project. He did the art for the cards.
I love shit like this. There used to be some really good movie tie-in games too the devs seemed to genuinely enjoy. Hulk Ultimate Destruction comes to mind.
I know they got back all the English VAs. Did they get back the Japanese VAs too? Are any of them still alive?
english
gross
Some didn't make it, but they got who they could.
youtube.com
Honestly they're not that old. Most were in their twenties when they first recorded for Kyatto Ninden Teyandee. The oldest is the guy who voiced Guido.
it's a fad, Shredder's revenge did so well now everyone wants their own succesfull, low budget old and cheap IP, beat 'em up to milk out.
You got toxic avenger, power rangers, G.I joe and i'm sure i'm missing another couple of games.
still going to buy it though
Catto Ningen
heh...
I don't understand how there is so much porn of Polly Esther
Was the show more popular than I remember?
I'd rather these respectful games being released than whatever the fuck keeps happening whenever they try to bring back an old franchise.
TMNT and Samurai Pizza Cats are not comparable IPs. TMNT is like Transformers or Batman; something involving it has to always exist, no matter how rushed and pozzed. SPC hasn't existed in any form since 1991.
like a third of the porn is comissioned by one guy., the other third is made by an autist with a fixation and the final third is what actually existed.
Furries latch onto their childhood stuff and once they start fapping never move on. Krystal is still getting porn ffs. To say nothing of sonic characters.
Why move on?
it's a Scooby Doo mystery
Some characters simply cannot be replaced.
i loved this show as a kid.. but i am also over 40 years old so i dont know which boomer thought its a good idea to make a game when basically no children today know of it... but i thank that boomer
tbf, (you) are the target audience. Not kids.
makes sense i guess
hey that's the skank from BUZZERS.com
arguably they are now more numerous than at any other point in gaming history to the point that you can ignore hundrets of indie passion projects a week and not even realize it
it's the same kind of boomer that brings back garbage like this
its really shows how good the artdirection and characters are that they easily hold up to this day and in fact are better way better than average even by todays standards
to be fair just because someone doesn't know something doesn't mean anything, people get unknown new stuff all the time, make a good game and there is a chance kids or anyone else will pick it up
WHO DO YOU CALL WHEN YOU NEED SOME PEPPERONI?
Pretty hyped but I'm very worried about the English script for this. I'm convinced that every decent comedy writer died out by the 2010s, so I would be surprised if this game could capture the feel of show's English script.
SON LOS GATOS SAMURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI
The duck tales remake started this.
Seems fine judging from the announcement trailer.
The old ways never truly die.
EGGED
never move on
new Pokemon keep being added to my goonable list every generation
That's because they used the old ways.
THIS IS THE WAY. Not the indieshit way
Nice.
Top of my list would be a Street Sharks game or a Dino Rider's game, but the latter is so high concept It'd need to be big budget to work; you can't just 2D side scroll through Dino Riders.
It's (OUR) time now!
seconds before the disaster
basic 2d platformer in 2025
okay
as opposed to?
something more complex than a basic bitch 2d platformer
the graphics are fantastic, getting the original VAs is awesome, the game oozes SOVL....but the actual gameplay looks like a generic NES platformer.
In other words it's the perfect video game.
for 1985 sure
for 2025 it's going to feel very very barebones if it's just a 2d platformer and nothing else
Complex? Like modern AAA games that have skill trees up the ass for no reason at all, because your choices barely matter? Maybe you like them like Ninja Gaiden where you have 100s of combos but you end up using two or maybe three of them because no enemies counter them. That kind of complexity? Maybe 20 different weapons with different playstyles where maybe 4 or 5 are viable and one is clearly superior.
Is that the kind of complexity that would suit your tastes better?
I want to fuck Fernando.
No, for 2025 too.
Looks GREAT.
Polly is HOT.
was thinking the same thing. tutorial based games fail to be complex entirely, just drop a good simple gameplay and you're gold
Complex 3d platlatter
Yeah, might as well make a 3D Cuphead sequel while we're at it.
Fuck you, I thought there was a new trailer
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
THE SAMURAI PIZZA CAT FANCLUB OATH
the new game isn't pixel art
crimge
Yes, it's literal hand drawn, pencil on paper art instead.
THIS IS THE WAY. Not the indieshit way
are you dumb?
No, Are you?
youtube.com
kinda impressed they got the JP voice actors.
i wonder if the game itself will have them
as a kid. i actually liked the ninja crows the most
Samurai Pizza Cats
What the HELL is that title?
Polyesther was my babe in 1991 when I was a young kid. One of the first times I felt something in my stomach but didn't know what it was.
animated with cels
Sovl. Modern western animation could never.
Badbird got quite some character focus in the show at least
He's so cute
It's a show about ninjas.
Real classic anime, unlike your faggot shit
GTO btfo's SPC on opening alone
thats a thick ass cat
blow it out your ass
Cope. When was the last time you saw anyone talk about that trash?
BTFO
Not understanding both are great
Pathetic
KRAKABOOOM
wonder where that ugly meme is from?
I'm so ready. Check out my cels.
I mean, once you find your waifu, she's with you for laifu.
Been with mine for nearly 23 years.
The Final Cope
Concession Accepted.
Very nice
Vi banishing you to prisoner island
Wow, thats a lot of work for an obscure tie in game.
I imagine they probably colored it digitally like cuphead did.
There's been interest in reviving SPC for decades now. They were extremely close to being added to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom back in the late 00's, but the plans fell through last-minute. It's achieved minor cult fame at this point though, and the Diskotek blu ray sales were decent enough to show that it still has some interest, so they're probably just throwing shit at a wall right now to see what sticks.
also, this:
youtube.com
this game is being made by the same devs. it was in fact this little Exa-arcadia exclusive update that made Tatsunoko consider them to make a game in the first place.
now how did said update happened? simple: the Exa-arcadia people HAVE contacts with tatsunoko.
Sick, I didn't know about this, thanks for posting it. Gives me hopes that the Exa-arcadia team just really loves the show and is shouldering the risk so Tatsunoko can grant them the license without worrying too much about the risks.
Incredibly based.
Let me bring this completely irrelevant metric trying to pass it as evidence for argument
How are you going to preserve those?
I can show you what ChatGPT says.
This is the only game so far that i am looking forward too.
ChayGPT
What's that?
Exa-arcadia arent the devs, Blast Zero are.
Jitsu squad was originally a pc game. and EArc asked them for an arcade port. the thing about EArc is their downright disgusting philosophy of all their games being exclusive to their platform, or have something exclusive to their platform that cannot, under any circumstance, be available anywhere else. in Jitsu Squad's case, it was the cats, they are only playable on that arcade version.
I bought Speedy, Guido, and Princess Vi maybe 12 or 13 years ago for about $20-30 each, and Polly a few years back for probably $80 (Guess that shows just how much interest in the show has increased in recent years) but have unfortunately just not had much of an opportunity to frame them. Not enough wall space, too much moving, and just don't want to risk losing or damaging them in the process.
Saving up for a more stable and permanent home though, and once that's the case, I'll be framing in a UV plexiglass case and hanging them in a spot with no natural lighting. In the meantime, I keep them in their original packaging, stored in a portfolio box so they don't get sun damaged.
Grok can refute it.
Ah damn, well still cool that they did it though. Anything to get the cats back in the limelight, I'll take.
Polly needs her Pointless Sisters outfit as an unlockable.
their slogan should be "Pussy Pussy"
i wonder if we'll get any new merch from this
I'm buying it day 1 out of nostalgia and hopes that people start to realize we don't need 300 billion dollar budget AAAAAAAAA titles
unless its going to be like $70 then they can get fucked and i'll wait for a steam sale
Erm, this game is funded by oil money, you know. It's AA at the very least.
the game oozes SOVL....but the actual gameplay looks like a generic NES platformer.
That's actually what the original NES game was.
It's AA at the very least.
I'm paying $70 dollarinos at release. Bless AA and before $100 at base game becomes normal.
WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE CUE THAT BIRD?
I always heard WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE KILL THAT BOID
The fucking theme song was so brilliantly retarded.
I have to wonder if there was even 1% of the original script in the localization or if its just a complete made up shitshow.
stronger than old cheese
They brought back Samurai Pizza Cats and Space Adventure Cobra and game them games in the modern era. What next old anime IP could they get next?
Hey guys, remember that unabashed rip off of TMNT? Here's a new game!
Street Sharks and Big Bad Beetleborg games when?
I knew the animations were looking oddly too good in the OP gameplay, but I didn't realize they were doing them by hand.
Samurai pizza cats game: *Exists*
Cuphead: Finally a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!
Actually looks crazy good.
They run the Pizza Cats Pizza Parlor (yes, in the JP original too). And they're samurai (they're ninjas in the JP original though).
Better not saturate it
I have a proposition.
I watched the whole anime last year. Kinda neat they're making a new game based on it.
I need me a Tenchi Muyo sandbox farming game where you go into space to adventure on the side like you wouldn't believe.
I watch a bit of the japanese show with ESL subtitles. Seems like the stories were similar by virtue of the visuals being strong enough to not be like super reinterpretable.
DeeDee needs more love.
This post smells like cowboys.
Go to bed, fucker. I know it's you.
That's Lovely Mipple, you fucking retard.
It's his fucking time, now.
I'll get lovely with your mipples if you don't shut that stupid mouth of yours faggot.
One of the few times the dub is better and more popular then the sub.
thought it was a new trailer
nope, just the one from last month when the game was unveiled
kino
big cheese is literally a gay furry fox
there is zero point of him
I HATE IT
Just give me a TvC Ultra or something, and put the Pizza Cats in it this time.
I'm going to cremate your testicles.
new trailer would be a bit early. game not coming out any time soon
The pizza cats are samurai and I'd like to note!
I need a tekkaman blade game.
Weeaboo Saudi princes brought this back , same with virtua fighter
They're not Samurai, they're Ninjas.
Works on my rig. Sounds like you're not trying hard enough, faggot.
Great Teacher Onizuka
Teacher isn't actually that great
I don't believe you on virtua fighter.
He's great at indirectly totalling Toyota Crestas
question any other sites for japaense fanarts other than nije?
fucking auto correct you know what I mean
tatsunoko vs capcom rerelease with the pizza cats added when?
they're not from the sukdikkin clan, they're from the diksukkin clan
same difference
Never. Nobody that cared about it is working at capcom
what a pointless villain
I need to get back to watching GTO. Tried to get one group into it, but came to the realization none of them realized the show was complete satire.
m.youtube.com
At 26:44, after the nvidia guy
he doesn't know the subtle and nuanced differences between the sukdikkin and disukkin clan culture
fucking secondaries I swear
For
Weeaboo Saudi princes brought this back
was funny reading jp comments thanking oil money for bringing it back
SPC's style reminds me of this show
en.wikipedia.org
Why is that?
THE BIG CHEESE IS THE VILLAIN HO'S LOWER THAN LOW
{spoken}
Will somebody please cue that boid
{sung}
(Samurai Pizza Cats)
(Oh yeah!)
Who do you call when you want some pepperoni?
(Samurai Pizza Cats)
(Right on!)
They're stakin' out crime, and you know that ain't baloney
There's Speedy Cerviche, he's the leader of the bunch
A heck of a fighter. Makes a heck of a lunch
And little Polly Ester, who's never afraid (That's me.)
Of going into battle when the bad guys invade
There's Guido Anchovy, a wild romantic rover
This cat gets down down with a wild hangover
(Here come the Pizza Cats)
They're so bad
They've got more fur than any turtle ever had
(They're stronger than old cheese)
Stronger than old cheese
(Stronger than dirt)
Stronger than dirt
(Don't step on their tail)
Not on my tail
(When the going gets hurt)
Don't hurt me
(Samurai Pizza Cats)
They're fighting crime (all over town)
(3-2-1, Pizza Cats are on the run!)
The Big Cheese of the villain, who's lower than low
It's a rotten shame he lives in Little Tokyo
He's got a nasty bad bird, and some nasty ninja crows
As soon as someone finds him, well, we might begin the show
Sit right back, kick up your feet, and turn the sound up high
And if you want the full effects, go eat a pizza pie!
same character designer i believe
he still posts stuff on his blog too
Oh neat! Can you post his blog? happy he's still alive.
Japan needed more 1990s shows with animal characters in them
When this was announced I expected one of those lame nostalgia-bait, UE5, online asynchronous PVP games where you don't actually have to design any gameplay or put in any creative effort.
I imagine they probably colored it digitally like cuphead did.
Bless them.
ameblo.jp
i'll give you a post with Carla art from his blog
They can't reuse the shitty resident evil engine for TvC, so it will never happen. Even if they could, everyone would look like shit like in street fighter 6.
Nice
also posts some other good pizza cats stuff
If it helps, his full name is Seymour Cheese, and his JP name is Kitsunezuka Ko'on-no-Kami.
someone give me gay ideas to draw of them
Do you seriously think a japanese anime and a tokusatsu show ripped off TMNT? Especially the latter, you gotta remember that if it weren't for Metal Heroes, we wouldn't have Robocop.
draw polly getting sexed from behind saying 'what the pizza!'
It's funded by some rich guy in the Emirates as a passion project.
Arabs love fighting games, including their government. Pretty sure that's why their prince put a stake in SNK.
Jesus Christ. I forgot about this guy. There's not even any middle easterners in VF are there?
Damn, but which soccer players and obscure ass musicans are they going to put in it?
You don't think it's possible? It came out during the height of TMNT and features anthropomorphic ninjas who love pizza.
The same kind of name as Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad. Samurai was so 90s, dude.
I'm so happy that this is a thing.
Tatsunoko is a weird company sometimes
I want Slayers but after Revo-R flopped I don't think we're ever getting something like that again.
The only episode I remember was one where Neo-Tokyo was going to be crushed by a meteor and everyone was freaking out because nobody had a plan to do anything about it and it led to a moment where big cheese is having a mental breakdown about accomplishing nothing in his life except being a Straight A student in the third grade. It felt like such a fever dream that I'm not 100% sure it was a real episode because I must have been five when I watched it.
That sounds like my life right now, but I am not an evil rat the fights cats.
when basically no children today know of it
things can only exist and be experienced if you already know about them
I really hate this nonsense mentality being so normalized now that people are bewildered when it's subverted
God that song is such a fucking BANGER
the thing is: kids have more access to this stuff than ever.
this game existing is going to expose more kids to this than they ever would have been if it played on some late-night movie cable channel that bought old kids shows en masse to fill time in a saturday morning block. That was its fate before this deal happened and literally no one except stoners who stayed up all night would ever see it.
Or, worse, MeTV or whatever the fuck Cartoon Network and Adult Swim has devolved into.
this should be a whitepill that new audiences will now know it existed.
lets bring back the worst cartoon from the 90s
Nobody liked this, zoomers
this chart again
Given how many times it’s been posted i’m lead to believe it’s done purposefully
This is from 2017, not present-day. CN hasn’t been like this for years yet people still peddle the notion that it’s the TTG channel. If you’re gonna complain then actually cite something they’re doing recently, not 8 years ago. It would be like people citing the WiiU as an example of what nintendo is when that was over a decade ago
But enough about Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat
This is from 2017, not present-day. CN hasn’t been like this for years
It's still dogshit. Do you want Samurai Pizza Cats on some dogshit network that shows maybe 4 shows total throughout the day?
Nta, and it's certaintly gotten better, but it's mostly just three shows with scooby-doo, at least in the first month of the year.
Oh my god
Leave my wife out of this.
No way this is making back it's production budget.... Unless corpos have been lying about the price of quality assets.
I'm honestly surprised they show The Looney Tunes Show considering that is actually funny. Gumball is also good past season 2(or 1 idk), but still. I'm pretty sure the writters for TLTS also did Mike Tyson Mysteries.
Did they get the Cuphead guys on this? Can't believe the look they achieved.
Fat gay character of your choice being unable to fot in their uniform. Or your favorite gay character from the show sitting on an anom and calling them a pervert.
pls no
Sorry if too gay. It will happen again.
