KinnikuNeko: SUPER MUSCLE CATis a side-scroller that lives up to its beefy subtitle, starring a character who looks like someone slapped a cat’s head on aCho Anikiscreenshot. Following up on its March 2024 launch on Steam, developer Kamotachi’s absurd action game is now on the way to consoles.
There’s no date in place at the moment, butKinnikuNekois currently eyeing a release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Kamotachi promises “many improvements and features,” and the console release will coincide with a “great update” for the Steam version.
We’ll have to wait and see what all those improvements and features stack up to be. In the meantime, you can try it out for yourself onSteam, which has a demo available to download for free. The full game is priced at $11.99 and has garnered “Very Positive” reviews since its March debut.
The premise ofKinnikuNekois about what you might expect after looking at a screenshot or two. The titular KinnikuNeko is very accurately described as “a cat with the body of a bodybuilder,” and it’s up to him and his friends Lemon and Keita to stop a massive alien invasion of Earth. Naturally, KinnikuNeko will be using his absolutely explosive muscles to put the diabolical plans of General Pitaya and her henchmen to rest.
Honestly, all you really need to know is “cartoon cat have beefy body” and you’re most of the way there. The wait for the console versions should give us plenty of time to get our own bodies in shape ahead of the alien onslaught.
