Japanese company Nissin is releasing caffeinated ‘gamer’ cup noodles soon, but they won’t be easy to get ahold of.

If you’re a gamer with any sort of social media presence, there’s no doubt that you’ve seen various products being released with a gaming vibe to them.

Whether it be a drink mix like G Fuel or beef jerky like JerkyXP, there has definitely been a market for gaming focused products.

Japanese company Nissin is joining the fold with caffeinated ‘gamer’ cup noodles releasing soon, but good luck getting ahold of them.

Nissin releases gaming cup noodles in Japan with RGB design

In a press release, Nissin revealed the “Gaming Cup Noodle” product alongside its very colorful design.

Sporting an RGB effect around the logo, the noodles come in two different flavors. The first one is Garlic and Black Pepper yakisoba which contains shrimp, pork, egg, and cabbage while the second one is a curry flavor that uses pork and veggies as a base.

Nissin is also marketing it as a soup-free meal, so it won’t get your peripherals dirty while eating in the middle of a gaming marathon.

The noodles will be released in Japan on September 18, 2023, with the garlic and black pepper yakisoba coming in at 280 yen ($1.90 USD) and the curry flavor at 298 yen ($2 USD).

As they’re only launching in Japan, those in other countries will have to find a way to import the product or else there will be no way to get ahold of them. Nissin also didn’t specify how much caffeine will be in the products, but we assume that it’ll be less than a can of Pepsi.
