Samurai Pizza Cats, a NES game that combines action, humor, and pizza

 


Story:

“Samurai Pizza Cats” is based on the animated TV series “Kyatto Ninden Teyandee” (Cat Ninja Legend Teyandee). In the game, you control one of the three pizza-delivering feline heroes: Speedy Cerviche, Polly Esther, or Guido Anchovy. Their mission? To protect Little Tokyo from the evil villain Seymour “Big Cheese” Cheeseborough and his minions. Expect quirky humor, puns, and a dash of absurdity – just like the show!



Game Mechanics:

Side-Scrolling Action: The gameplay primarily involves side-scrolling action. You’ll battle enemies, jump across platforms, and collect power-ups.
Pizza Delivery: Yes, pizza delivery! Your main goal is to deliver pizzas while thwarting Big Cheese’s plans. It’s a unique twist on the usual heroics. You can also choose from multiple characters to play with unique abilities!



Boss Battles: 

Each level ends with a boss fight. These encounters range from bizarre to downright hilarious.

Release and Popularity:

Release Date: “Samurai Pizza Cats” was released for the NES in 1991.
Localization: While the original Japanese version is called “Cat Ninden Teyandee,” the English version was never officially released. Fans have since created fan translations to enjoy the game in English.
Popularity: The game gained a cult following due to its quirky premise, catchy theme song, and nostalgic appeal. Fans of the TV show appreciate the faithful adaptation.

Graphics:

The graphics are colorful and capture the show’s aesthetic.
Sprites for the pizza cats and enemies are well-designed, with expressive animations.
Backgrounds vary from city streets to Big Cheese’s lair, adding visual diversity.
