Arcade Spirits (Nintendo Switch)

Set in the distant future of 20XX, Arcade Spirits is a visual novel romantic comedy with an alternative historical narrative, where arcades continue to reign supreme as the ultimate destination for gaming. After a period of turbulent employment, your character embarks on an exciting new journey, securing a job at the Funplex: a popular local arcade filled with a team of staff as eccentric as the customers themselves. But where will this newfound employment opportunity lead you? Who will you encounter along the way? And will you finally uncover the romantic connection you've been seeking?

In Arcade Spirits, the experience is entirely customizable. Players can personalize their protagonist, selecting their preferred pronouns, hairstyle, skin tone, hair and eye color, and more, allowing them to develop a distinctive personality. The choices made throughout the game will be reflected in both the cutscenes and artwork, empowering players to interact with characters in whichever manner they desire - be it through friendship, platonic relationships, or something more intimate.

As players progress, the game's identity identifier system, known as "IRIS," will track their relationship status with all characters, as well as their evolving personality traits. Are you kind and caring, quirky and eccentric, steadfast and reliable, gutsy and bold, or a combination of these qualities?

Moreover, the decisions made by players will directly impact the future fate of the Funplex arcade. Whether it's the relationships you choose to nurture or the way you navigate critical moments of crisis management, your actions will shape the ultimate destiny of this beloved gaming establishment.

For the first time, the acclaimed visual novel, which has received a "very positive" review rating on Steam, is now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, allowing a wider audience to immerse themselves in this alternative historical narrative where arcades continue to thrive.

In the 1983 video game market crash that never occurred, the arcade industry has persevered, maintaining its position as the premier destination for gaming enthusiasts. Arcade Spirits invites players to explore this captivating world, forge meaningful connections with a diverse cast of characters, and uncover the romance they've been seeking, all while navigating the challenges and triumphs of running a beloved arcade establishment.
