GungHo TGS 2026: Ninjala 2 Demo, Chit Chat Party, BLUE NOVA

GungHo Online Entertainment has locked in its Tokyo Game Show 2026 lineup, and the booth centers on three games at very different stages. Attendees get the largest hands-on showing of Ninjala 2 yet, a brand new party game that is available now, and a first look at a co-op shooter that was only just announced. The company hosts all of it at booth 06-C06 during the show.

Ninjala 2 takes over the booth with 40 demo stations

The biggest draw is the open world follow up to the ninja action series. According to the official announcement from GungHo Online Entertainment, the Tokyo Game Show demo is the largest hands-on showing of Ninjala 2 The Uncharted Planet in Japan so far, with 40 stations on the show floor. That scale makes sense for a game that shifts the series from arena battles to a full explorable planet.

The demo splits into two playable courses. The Planetary Exploration Course puts combat first, letting players test Ninja Gum Action against the creatures and enemies roaming the world. The Photography Course slows everything down and sends players sightseeing across landscapes to capture the planet and its inhabitants at their own pace. Together the two courses show both halves of the design, fast combat and relaxed exploration.

The story setup explains the new structure. When the Forbidden Seal breaks, young ninja students find their whole academy transported to a strange planet, and they must fight their way home. It is the first chapter of a planned two part saga. Series staples carry over in new form, with weapon attributes, item crafting, and a cooking system feeding into quests that players can tackle in any order. Dungeons and colossal bosses round out the loop, playable solo or with up to four friends in online or local co-op. The full game launches exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 in Spring 2027, so readers catching up on the hardware can check our Switch 2 guide covering everything to know about the console before the release window arrives.

Chit Chat Party turns GameChat into a party game out today

The second announcement is a genuine surprise. Chit Chat Party is a cooperative communication game for up to four players built around the Nintendo Switch 2 GameChat feature, and it is available now for 9.99 dollars. Players talk to each other through in game chat to complete challenges, so clear communication is the difference between a great play and total chaos. Simple controls keep it open to any age or experience level, and the developers say it is as fun to watch as it is to play.

The package ships with three communication trials. In Watermelon Bash, players guide a blindfolded friend to the watermelon using only voice directions. Delivery Dash splits the group into a map reader and a delivery carrier who must talk through every order. Ghost Hunt uses security camera footage to pin down mischievous ghosts hiding in a spooky mansion before the team drives them out together. A solo Practice Mode sharpens skills before group sessions, while a Spectator role lets extra friends watch and cheer. Note that a Nintendo Switch Online membership is required for online play.

B.L.U.E. NOVA gets its first public showing

The third pillar is the newest reveal. Our earlier report on the B.L.U.E. NOVA reveal covers the basics, but Tokyo Game Show is where the public sees it first. The free to play co-op PvE shooter comes to Steam in 2027 and casts players as Heroes fighting for humanity against a runaway AI. Squads of up to 30 players share an open world, and the Ring System powers up allies standing together while granting infinite ammunition to turn battles around.

At booth 06-C06 the company screens the teaser trailer alongside a video made only for the Tokyo Game Show venue. Fans who add the game to their Steam wishlist or follow its official social accounts can claim limited edition novelty items on a first come first served basis. Full detail will follow through the official B.L.U.E. NOVA channels as the 2027 window approaches.

Why this booth matters for TGS 2026

Few publishers bring this spread to a single show. One station lineup demonstrates a flagship sequel deep into production, another sells a low priced party game available the same day, and a third teases a large scale shooter more than a year out. That mix gives every kind of attendee a reason to stop, from competitive players curious about Ninja Gum Action in an open world to families hunting for a weekend party game.
