Wait... what? A cursory search suggests no series revival or anything, just this game based on a single season animated show from 1991. I mean, I definitely watched it as a kid and 100% approve but still... what?!

Someone owning the IP saw money sitting on the table.
ok now do medabots
Not that extreme a time gap, but there was a shitty PS2 game in 2007 supposedly based on the first Fievel movie (1986). It had basically nothing to do with the movie and played like a terrible Super Monkey Ball for some reason.
Someone saw a cheap IP floating around and thought they could sell slightly more copies through vague nostalgia. They're probably right too, they're not losing any sale from people who have no idea what the original cartoon was, and they might earn a few from people who recognize it and are curious.
They were recently featured in Jitsu Squad arcades: https://exa.ac/en/jitsu-squad-available-now/
So maybe they're testing the waters for some kind of revival, or someone new got the rights to the IP?
There's a small interview with voice actors Kappei Yamaguchi, Ai Orikasa, and Seiichiro Yamashita: https://www.gematsu.com/2025/02/2d-action-rpg-samurai-pizza-cats-blast-from-the-past-announced-for-all-major-platforms
