KinnikuNeko: Super Muscle Cat coming to PlayStation
- by Stephen Tailby
Never assume humanity is out of ideas. KinnikuNeko: Super Muscle Cat is a side-scrolling action platformer about a cute little cat that can transform into an outrageously ripped bodybuilder in order to fight off invading aliens. Need we say more?
The game failed to meet its funding goal on Kickstarter, but has since become something of a viral success on Steam. The result is that the anime-inspired title is being ported to consoles later this year, though there's no release date as yet.
KinnikuNeko is essentially a fast-paced mix of platforming and beat-'em-up style combat. You spend much of the game in the character's muscular state, but there are also sequences in which you'll play as the cat pre-transformation, and each state of course has its own abilities. It looks suitably silly, but also pretty fun. We're unsure whether it has the substance to go with the style, but it'll probably be a good laugh finding out.
Are you interested in KinnikuNeko: Super Muscle Cat? Will you be playing it when it hits PS5 and PS4?

Duality of a gamer:
- Yes I am so up for zany madness like this
- No I'm not willing to spend actual money on it, are you mad?
Both thoughts coexist in my head.

I fell off my chair when body builder nipples appeared. People in my office came rushing to see if I was okay, but then their concern turned into confusion when they saw this video playing.
I am now in manager's office trying to convince them that I thought the nipples were scary eyes and I got a frightened.

Err... Wut? 😦
I like six pack dudes but that cute cat face with human bodybuilder body looked really off in my opinion. 😶
And also, again...
Why with the stereotype of bodybuilder by being show off the muscle like that?
Six pack dudes can be smart in the right way.

I'm not sure why this reminds me of that Hentai Kamen series lol.
But it's from Japan where we got weird-quirky games like Mister Mosquito, Incredible Crisis, Katamari, Seaman, The Last Guy, Cho Aniki Zero, or Battle Construction Vehicles (search youtube dunkey).
So Japan, please don't stop being weird

@PuppetMaster I completely agree that Japan needs to keep being weird, but this game is actually developed by one guy from Spain.
