- Prehistory: In a world without language, a tribesman grows up.
- A wanderer with a bounty on his head battles for his survival in the Wild West.
- A kung fu master hunts for a competent successor in Imperial China.
- In the twilight of Edo Japan, a shinobi performs a crucial covert mission.
- Today: A martial artist aims to be the strongest person ever.

- A freshly developed robot gets caught up in a cosmic disaster in the distant future.
This remake, which has restored music by original composer Yoko Shimomura and is produced by Takashi Tokita (the director of the Super Famicom version), keeps everything that fans of the original game liked while also making it accessible to newcomers.
The Live A Live Nintendo Switch remake will be out on July 22, 2022.
