Tatsunoko Production is teaming up with the blockchain game Meteon Run for a collaboration featuring Yatterman, marking the second installment in Meteon Run's ongoing series of Japanese anime crossovers.
Collaboration Overview
The collaboration is the second entry in Meteon Run's project to bring Japanese anime works into the blockchain gaming space. By featuring a popular Tatsunoko Production work, the partnership aims to reach both anime fans and gaming users at home and abroad.
The collaboration includes the following:
Character Sales
Characters from Yatterman will be sold in the in-game shop. With visual designs that faithfully recreate the world of the series, players can enjoy their own in-game characters styled after the Yatterman cast.
Limited-Edition Shoe Items
Limited-edition shoe items themed around Yatterman's characters and world will also be available for purchase.
Background and Aim
Since its release, Meteon Run has drawn attention around the world as a running game that combines entertainment with simple, easy-to-learn controls. As it looks to grow its global user base further, the game has been pursuing collaborations built around "Japan's celebrated content culture," and this partnership with Tatsunoko Production is the second in that effort.
Yatterman, one of Tatsunoko Production's signature works, became a social phenomenon after it began airing in 1977 thanks to its pop, comedic world and memorable characters, and it remains a symbol of Japanese pop culture with a devoted following both in Japan and overseas.
The collaboration with a series that has been loved across generations is expected to extend Meteon Run's reach beyond its existing blockchain game users to anime fans and new users of all ages, both in Japan and abroad.
The partnership also reflects Meteon Run's vision of "a gaming experience anyone can enjoy, regardless of nationality, gender, or age."

We hope this collaboration gives longtime fans a fresh way to enjoy the series, while also introducing Meteon Run users around the world to the fun and appeal of Yatterman."
