He is a producer for Namco Bandai of America. In the video, we get confirmation that Lion-O is the only playable character. It also gives us our first look at the gameplay in motion.
We get to see Lion-O calling upon Tygra to clear out a screen filled with enemies. We also get to see how combat will work, which looks fairly basic. Run, jump, slash, rinse and repeat. Levels will be based on locations from the cartoon and both Slithe and Mumm-Ra have been confirmed as enemies in the game. No word on more recent show additions like Kaynar and Addicus. For now, you can check out the brief video below.

I haven't seen this talked about anywhere. Apparently, Namco Bandai are releasing a Thundercats Video Game for the Nintendo DS. The game is being developed by Aspect Digital, who previously worked on Naruto: Ninja Council.
Siliconera got a chance to play a demo of the game at the Global Gamer's Day press conference, where the game wasn't even announced, but just sitting on the demo floor unceremoniously. The game will be a side-scrolling brawler. In the game you play only as Lion-O, who can be assisted by the other Cats. The game is set to follow the cartoon story closely. It will feature sound effects and voices from the cartoon and will feature concept art as unlockable extras.
Thundercats for the Nintendo DS is scheduled for a release in August 2012. Click the headline of the story to check out some screen shots!

Because every hero needs a place to unwind, Icon Heroes created the museum replica of the Cats Lair. Made of heavy weight polystone, this environment statue measures a massive 7.9” wide x 11” deep x 9.5” tall and weighs approximately 6 pounds. A perfect backdrop for your Thundercats station figures, this environment is detailed with towering archways, mechanical like claws, and blazing red cat eyes. The Cats Lair is the pivotal training ground, operations base, and sleeping quarters for the Thundercats. Sold exclusively by Action Figure Xpress and limited to only 600 pieces, this individually numbered collectors piece is a rare find. | | | Views: 533 | | | Posted on 02-28-2012 at 11:49 AM by Joe Moore under Thundercats Statues and Other Products News. |  In my personal opinion, one of the biggest missed opportunities of 2011's Thundercats relaunch was the lack of an accompanying video game. With it's mix of melee weaponry as well as firearms, Thundercats holds the potential for a fantastic video game.
So, with the major slow down in news, let's have some fun discussion. What would YOU want from a Thundercats video game? Would it be an old school brawler akin to the Konami arcade games of the 90's? Would you want a huge open world game? How about a linear adventure game ala God of War?
Stop by our Ongoing Discussion Thread and tell us what you would want in your ideal Thundercats Video Game.

According to the listing, the cards are set to ship in January (the site says 2011, but these were just added recently, so I'm assuming the year is a flub).

Each pack will contain 8 cards, with one of those being a holographic foil card.
No images are available at this time. More info as it comes.

Hear the Roar! The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to the Hit 1980s Series ThunderCats
by David Crichton
Originally broadcast in 1985, ThunderCats has become one of the most enduring animated series of its era. For the first time in print, Hear the Roar! documents every aspect of the production of this iconic show — told by the people who made it.
Featuring over 80 exclusive interviews with cast and crew members, this definitive reference guide charts ThunderCats' creation and development, drawing on a wealth of never-before-seen production paperwork and leaving no stone unturned.
Dedicated chapters highlight the writing, animating, scoring and recording of ThunderCats, while a comprehensive story guide reviews all 130 episodes, including notes from the scriptwriters themselves! The legendary ThunderCats toy line from LJN Toys is documented too, and even the associated series SilverHawks is explored.
This essential guide to ThunderCats demonstrates why the show continues to thrive, while many of its contemporaries have faded into obscurity... | | Credit: DaveCrichton of the Thundercats.ws Forums! | Views: 1,038 | |
