198X

 [![198X](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/198x.jpeg "198X")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/198x.jpeg)Welcome to Suburbia, just outside the City, sometime in 198X. This is the journey of Kid, a teenager stuck between the limitations of innocent youth and the obligations of inevitable adulthood. The story unfolds when Kid discovers the local arcade – finding new worlds, and new meaning, in video games. For every visit to the arcade – every game uncovered, every move mastered, every demon defeated – Kid grows stronger. And the lines between reality and game start to blur…

- 5 full-blown arcade stages in 5 different genres
- 9 expert pixel artists delivering larger-than-life old-school sprites
- 20+ music tracks from the likes of Yuzo Koshiro and Swedish hit-duo Sinephony
- 90+ minutes of intense gameplay and pixel-art storytelling
