Classic Game Blankets Featuring Nostalgic Designs

KADOKAWA Game Linkage, a subsidiary of KADOKAWA, is delighting retro gaming fans with the launch of two new classic game blankets on September 16, 2026. The blankets in question are inspired by the nostalgic box designs of beloved Famicom titles: MAPPY and Valkyrie No Densetsu. Accompanying each blanket is a charming 16-page booklet that showcases images of the Famicom cartridge art.

The Classic Game Blanket Series

The newly released items are part of the second wave in the Classic Game Blanket series, which has already garnered attention with its nostalgic appeal. This time, KADOKAWA brings back the iconic MAPPY, a game currently featuring in a short anime series called “MAPPY-CHU!”, and Valkyrie No Densetsu, which commemorates its 40th anniversary this year. These blankets are not only functional but also celebrate the artistry of classic video game packaging.

Designed with care to replicate the original Famicom software box art, each blanket measures 1044mm x 700mm and is crafted from plush polyester microfibre. The designs are printed on both the front and back of the blankets, ensuring a high-quality appearance and feel.

Embarking on a stroll down memory lane, fans will appreciate the bundled booklet which is A5-sized and consists of 16 full-color pages filled with the visual history of Namcot’s Famicom titles. The package altogether presents a delightful homage to the golden age of gaming and will surely evoke fond memories for those who played these games during their heyday.

Each classic game blanket retails at ¥3,300 (including taxes), offering great value for avid collectors or those simply looking to relive their childhood gaming experiences.
