When I was like 9 or 10 I thought our neighbor was at the door so I jumped out in my home made samurai pizza cats outfit, yelling "samurai pizza cats, they're so bad!", presuming that he was there to play samurai pizza cats.
Turned out to be a boy from my class at school collecting money for something. He proceeded to blackmail me, getting my lunch in exchange for keeping my dorkiness hush-hush.
Not sure if it was, but this sure sounds like what you would name a knock-off of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I watched this as a kid! I didn't expect anyone else to know it existed lol.
“One of us, one of us, one of us!”
Just a tad miffed that I had to put in my own leg work (because I’m lazy) to figure out this is coming out to all major platforms. Not just Steam.

This cartoon was my childhood and I’ll be grabbing this day one!
I want a Swat Kats revival. That show ruled for some reason.
Oh my, who could've seen this coming...huge surprise
I honestly have no idea who greenlit this or why; but given just how obscure the source is - I have hopes that it’s a passion project, and will be made with love and care.
Maybe the rights went cheap. Or maybe you're right.
For what it's worth there was an NES game back when the Pizza Cats were originally notionally relevant. It was alright.
Didn’t know about the NES game, thanks for the heads-up! It looks like it was only released in Japan and based on the original Kyatto Ninden Teyandee version, and not the deranged English dub.
Even calling the original series notionally relevant is probably a stretch, it wasn’t even renewed for a second season! 🤣 But I guess we have its general failure to thank for setting in the Rube Goldberg series of events which led to the absurd English dub?
This is awesome! So many of these old cartoons do feel like they were a fever dream, for sure. Same with cartoons like Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, Ren & Stimpy, etc.
As soon as you asked about what other cartoons were due for a revival, I immediately thought of Tekkaman Blade, too. I loved that show so much, even if it wasn't the best.
I would also love to see a revival of Biker Mice from Mars, if it hasn't been done recently.
Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, Ren & Stimpy, etc.
That was a rabbit hole to fall down, unlocking so many childhood memories! For some reason, I thought those were all by Klasky Csupo, turns out I totally misremembered… 😅
May as well throw CatDog onto that list too, I sing the theme song to my daughter to make her laugh..
I kinda feel sorry for later generations, there really is no way that modern kids animation holds a candle to what we millennials got to experience.
FAHRAD!
