Classic Game Blankets to Launch in 2026

KADOKAWA Game Linkage, a subsidiary of KADOKAWA Corporation based in Tokyo, has exciting news for nostalgic gamers. They will be releasing a series of Classic Game Blankets featuring the iconic designs of three beloved NES titles: PAC-MAN, Xevious, and The Tower of Druaga. Set to launch on February 16, 2026, these unique blankets capture the essence of the classic gaming era and are now available for pre-order.

Nostalgia Wrapped in Comfort

The Classic Game Blanket collection draws inspiration from the original box art of these timeless games developed by Namco (currently Bandai Namco Entertainment). Each blanket measures an impressive 1044mm x 700mm, crafted from soft polyester microfibre that ensures comfort whether you are snuggling up while gaming or showcasing your love for retro video games. One of the standout features of these blankets is their double-sided printing, showcasing the meticulous reproduction of the game box designs on both sides.

In addition to the blankets, each purchase includes an A4-sized box art that mirrors the original game packaging. For further nostalgia, buyers will receive a beautifully illustrated A5 booklet, comprising 16 full-color pages summarizing 30 classic Namco titles for the Famicom system. This comprehensive booklet serves as a delightful reminder of the rich history of gaming and is designed to cater to both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
