As co-director, -writer and -designer of 198X, I'm overwhelmed by the kind words and excitement expressed by all you wonderful people in the comments. We're so happy to bring you this labour of love to Switch. Our most humble thanks to Nintendo for featuring our trailer - and to each and every one of you for your touching love and support.
From our little team in Stockholm, Sweden; tack så mycket!
noice game
Thanks for your hard work! The game looks amazing and I can’t wait to play it!
Ser riktigt fett ut!
Im sold on this game from what ive seen so far. it looks great keep it up and ill be expecting to hear more from u guys
This game is so inspiring! As a Game design student from the netherlands, this game has definitely insprired students here. We're currently all busy doing projects but trailers like these keep us going! Maybe one day one of us can do an internship with you ;P
This game sounds like a virtual novel
Scott pilgrim-y
But it seems to have actual gameplay elements though.
It's an arcade stylised game with an angsty teen drama thrown in. Ergo a mix of genres. How much one element drives the other, who knows?
I doubt many people want to play the game for the story, moreso for the throwback action, style & soundtrack.
YOU'RE breathtaking!
@@earthmanbrick The story is driven by those elements, and definitely the reason for me to play it.
"They say that when you grow up something inside you dies. I'm still not sure if that's good or bad. When you're a child shadows seem darker and lights seem brighter. Everything is more terrifying and more exciting at the same time."
Well damn.
Lol someone Already quoted .....
"They say when you grow up, something inside you dies...I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing." *_Oof._*
This is a reference to the movie The Breakfast Club

@@crypt0nym0ussec57 but change is also important
"When you're a child, shadows seem darker and lights shine brighter"
Hits deep.
now that I'm growing up the two seem to merge... and i don't know if that's reassuring or more terrifying.

Now this is how you build up hype with a launch trailer, I wasn’t even around in the 80’s so no nostalgia for me but this looks fantastic!
Spoiler alert: the 80s was a lot more pixelated and staticy then the trailer leads one to believe.
The game is out on steam
Yeah dude there were spaceships and dragons in the 80s for sure
Smónker what a time to be alive!
I was born in the 90s but I love the 80s it looked so futuristic. The music, movies, fashion etc.
I think this game deserves a novelization. Seriously, it so great in descriptive storytelling from the narrator, that I think it would be very cool as a Young Adult novel set in the 80's.
I love it when games use multiple genres for gameplay and storytelling.
(When did this get 2000+ likes??)
I have no clue when that has occurred prior to 198X

I grew up in the 80's and this trailer brought up almost all the genres i loved so much and still do. I see "Back to the Future", "Tron" and so many more nostalgica. This combined with the Voice, the Speach and the Sound rly touched my heart, i can almost feel the story. Thanks to the whole Team, which is working on this, u got me there.

Haiku
@@GianniEndo It can't be a haiku. It doesn't have the correct amount of syllables. The first line has four syllables, then 5, 5, and then 6. But it's still a good comment regardless.
As someone who grew up in the 80s this hits me in the nostalgia. This is an instant buy for me. :)
I grew then as well. But I think nostalgia is a drug. And not a good one. It keeps you weak and craving the past.... use it very very sparingly....
It’s called target audience
"Everything seems to terrifying and exciting at the same time."
Amazing. You perfectly captured why being a child is so wonderful. When there's nothing to get excited about, to feel about, life becomes *dull.*
Not to get too philosophical in this comment section under a video game trailer (game looks awesome btw), I would argue that it is not always true that a child dies when they grow up. For me, my inner child has come alive again in recent times thanks in large part to Nintendo and the love and support of my girlfriend.
I think that the child in us dies only if we let it; if we let go of or forget the things that we love, willingly or otherwise. Being an adult is...different, I'll admit. But I never let go of the things that I loved as a child (except for action figures, I'm too self-conscious to keep those), and for that reason I believe my inner child will live forever.
aDULLt.....
@@Dovah21 I don't think they mean that specifically with your inner child dying. It's leaving behind your innocence and forming a new identity, one that is fit to face the harsh reality of the world we adults step in. As a child, the world revolves around you and life is carefree and worriless. But as you grow up, you'll realize how indifferent the world is and that it moves on, with or without your presence.
"They say that when you grow up, something inside you dies."
How true is it.
The trailer made my inner child excited. Well done.

Thanks man!
Oh no I can't get this game.
THERE ARE USES OF TOBACCO
I know you're just pointing at the absurdity, but would any kid or pre-teen be really interested in a coming-of-age story?
@@Linkale_ Um, yes. Thats the demographic CoA stories typically apeal to.
@@phillystevesteak6982 I don't think so, these kind of stories usually require the viewer to have already "come of age" to really have a perspective about what's going on on the character's mind
@@Linkale_ Well, perhaps this game is an interesting exception because it's targeting nostalgic gamers who grew in the 80s. But CoA stories are typically made to be relateable for kids currently going through that time.
Oh noes! Tobaccoez!
Been a few years, and this still holds up as one of the best video game trailers ever. If only the game itself could go on forever, but the metaphor of how short the game is reflects well on how short childhood is.
Wish a second game was in the making

I effing love the whole 80s, aesthetic, vaporwave, synth, etc. ... aesthetic, even though I am a 90s baby. I am very interested.
Honestly, the 80's homages are miles better than the actual 80's were, though I was just a kid then. Maybe it was better as a teen.
Ok, let me explain this
The Beat em' up is Streets of Rage
The Shoot em' up is R-Type
The racing game is Outrun
The RPG is Phantasy Star on the Sega Master System
And the ninja game is Strider.
The RPG was the only one I couldn't get and all I could think was "Soooooo..... Nintendo's just blatantly ripping off all these games?" Wasn't 198X the year from Mega Man?
The original Phantasy Star on the Master System is one of the most underrated games of all time. Better than the original Final Fantasy games for my money.
Ninja game is more likely to be Shadow Dancer or Shinobi.
@@Larry OMG, I love Fact Hunt!!!!
I wouldve thought racing was rad racer and ninja was ninja guiden
Love the 80's retrowave style this game has ! The OST also seems so perfect, perfectly fits to what I listen to !
When will the soundtrack be fully released!!?
I know, right?
Sounds like m83

Yeah it means the 80's were really something special when people were more excited about the future than nostalgic of the past.
Look up retrofuturism
We all long for something better, back then we yearned for a brighter future, now we want to go back to the good old times

Nintendo are continuously uploading reveal trailers I’m sure they don’t do this for the sake of it besides what can they show this early in the year
I am so jealous of everyone who grows up in the 80s! This must be such an amazing time.
I mean... They weren't that great when you see what happened in the real world at the time outside of media.
I did grow up in the '80s. I think a lot of the nostalgia though comes from the fact that we didn't pay any attention to world events, we had no idea what was going on in politics. Sure, the world was scary but it was magical. And we were much more full of hope for the future.
Many things we could do in the 80s, and never thought twice about, we can no longer do anymore.
The 80s had their ups and downs... On the bright side, people were much more social and you could do lots of great things that are no longer possible. On the other side, we had the geopolitical bickering between the US and the USSR. Not to mention the AIDS crisis...
This game feels like the story of my life, I was overwhelmed by nostalgia and been able to connect me back to someone that I've lost for decades: myself. Thank you very much for such a masterpiece.
I’m really vibin at this, the music, the visual, the concept, everything! Looking forward to play this
This game is made by fairly famous video game journalists here in Sweden. Tobias Bjarneby, the director of this game has been writing lengthy awesome nostalgic text about video games since the early 90's when he wrote for the magazine "Nintendo Magasinet" (think of it as the Swedish Nintendo Power), then starting his own magazine "Super Power" which evolved into "Super PLAY" which then evolved into "LEVEL". LEVEL was discontinued in 2018, basically killed by the Internet. It was the last video game magazine in Sweden.
Tobias is a master of setting the scene and talking about how it is to grow up with games. His editorials about Super Mario Bros. 3 are quite legendary here in Sweden.
I beat this game. It was short but oh so wonderful. And to meet all the writers again after reading their magazines for 25 years was a wonderful thing.
Highly recommend this game.
I dunno why I always come back to this trailer
A couple of these scenes like the arcade remind me of my youth/early teens in the late 80's. I remember playing games that looked like this at Aladdin's Castle and Dennis' Place for Games back in Chicago during that time with many friends who sadly aren't alive any more. Thank you for the memories, I'll definitely be picking this game up.
*My Childhood: The Game*
I'm in. ❤️
Amazing, I’m so glad I clicked on the notification
Lmao me too. This artstyle is insane!
199X and 198X cannot be just a coincidence
All those scenes of games we played in the past brings so many memories of when we where younger and we had to talk about the games mechanics and how to pass them if we got stuck or if we wanted to pass it untouched ,seens like we lived in another world or dimension ,thats why i love nintendo cus they make us relive those times
What sold it for me- that black screen mirror of that boy looking back at himself as the game goes off.
Talk about vision and direction. This is fascinating
2020s are gonna be full on with this stuff
I was born in 1983, yet these 1980s vibes give me a warm feeling inside.
Music reminds me of ODDEEO.
David Brown 1984 here, I know that feeling. :)
1981 is my Birthday...and i'm beginning Gaming 1987 with Atari 2600 Console...So i grows up with 16bit Games...I'm so stoked to see 198X...!!! The Trailer looking very nice...!!!
Yes, I’ve had the same concept for a game In my head for years. This looks better then I imagined, can’t wait to play
This gave me nostalgia for something I've never experienced.
My kind of game. Love when they change the story suddenly, and then they leave you thinking about yourself
This just brought a tear to my eye. I cannot wait to play this.
That Logo with the Music....
This trailer hits like, really, **REALLY** HARD.
All these games look awesome, and I love visual novels. This game just looks rad overall. I'm a 2000 kid, but I show great respect for all those who came first and got to experience all of those great games. Can't wait to try this!
You know what: I dont know when I will have time to play this game. But I bought it the instant I finished this trailer. You deserve my money for making this. You deserve my money.
This game is too short and fun, it won't take more than 40 minutes to beat it
@@oo0zer0ne0oo too short and fun? I can't tell if you're complimenting it or criticizing
What I mean is that the game is good, but very short that you can finish it in less than one hour
@@oo0zer0ne0oo Darn. Was hoping that wasn't the case. That's a deal breaker for me
@Lain ah that makes more sense. I typically wait for those kind of games to release everything (and then it's usually cheaper as well).
I swear, the music gives me chills every time
The music, the artwork, the games, capture so the feels so well!
This game hands down looks amazing!! I’m for sure gonna get it right now!
Everything about it is amazing, the sprite work, the atmosphere, and the heart they put into this! It all shows through, this is a passion project, I’m sure many years will be shed playing this game!
Indeed a passion project.

Never heard of this game until this trailer and now I want more! I want this as a full length movie!
I'm curious what kind of game this really is. Never heard of it.
Looks stellar, I love the love notes to classic arcade games of my youth. Makes me nostalgic ! Plus it's beautiful to look at and the sprite animations are glorious !
198X: let's add all these genres of games as our selling point.
Nier series: we'll sell our game without telling anyone.
N:A was amazing and varied, but not quite this varied. This takes it to another level
This isn't Adobos Big Adventure
bro yakuza did all this and more years ago
The Last of Us combies different genres:
It's a Stealth-Third-Person-Zombie-post-apocalyptic-Shooter, where you kill hundrets of normal humans, plus some puzzle elements.
The game felt sometimes it has an identity crisis.
Can't wait to use the backgrounds as a desktop wallpaper lol

I’m speechless. What an amazing trailer, leaving me emotional in the end, not only with excitement but also nostalgia and awe. First of all the concept of retro games as fragmented facets within the game is genius, and I feel confident they’ll capture the feel of every genre of its age that it’s trying to integrate. The coming of age story is also something that grabbed me from the start and is an enticing way to tie all the different game types together. And can we talk about the art style? (The fighting part looks better than streets of rage 4 imo), and the soundtrack of this trailer? I got serious Stranger Things vibes from it all.
Excited!
Stranger things suckssss !!!
That voice acting is pure gold. Made me cry.

Damn... this brought back memories... I'm totally into this.
*This concept is actually giving me chills. THIS IS SO COOL!!!*
This seems less like the 80s nostalgia cashgrabs we've been seeing recently and more a heartfelt story about how video games shaped someone's life that just so happens to take place in the 80s. Great job guys, I hope this sells well.

It doesn't. It just gets covered in thicker layers of armor. Too many and you think it's dead cuz you can't hear it.
But it's there. Waiting for you to make yourself vulnerable again and open it up. ( Unless you've gone through so much trauma or war that it becomes impossible to do).

Ad an 80's and 90's kid looking forward to this.
Sure I might be an adult but I haven't fully grown up and still have part of my inner child still inside me,.that still marvels at somethings in the world.
Omfg... in 1994 I experienced a moment of life that is so easily described by a line in this trailer!!!
"They say that when you grow up, something inside you dies. I'm still not sure if that's good or bad. When you're a child, shadows seems darker, and lights seem brighter. Everything is more terrifying, and more exciting, at the same time."
I remember realizing what death truly meant at 8yrs old in 1994. The morning after, I woke up to a world that was a lot duller, as if it had lost its light. But that wasnt the case at all...
I just realized the truth of our reality.
I’m buying my first switch soon and can’t wait to get this game
It is a scam. Save your money.
it's amazing how immersive the environment is

As an 80s fan, this gave me chills.
