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.

[@luiss428]

"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.*

[@Dovah21]

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.

[@durpiedurpdurp]

aDULLt.....

[@ryanwaasdorp]

@@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.

[@Real1Gaming]

Indeed a passion project. 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 texts 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'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.

[@themongoose7318]

This could be the greatest game EVER. I'm properly GASSED!

[@thepayne7862]

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.

I saw this trailer and decided to look into it. I saw it was on PSN for 10 bucks so I went ahead and bought it. I just finished it. Played it all in one sitting and I just couldn't stop. The game evokes nostalgia in the best way, from the atmosphere, the story and narration, and the games themselves. This is truly a little masterpiece and I can't wait to play it several times over as the years go on.

[@jasonmcdillion2646]

This game looks amazing! The trailer was so well executed, and from this.....the title will be added to my catalog of switch titles for sure! I remember playing the Rad Race for nes, Super R-Type and shinobi games. I can't wait to see the story of this new character unfold and fully immerse myself if the 80dom 😁👍🏻🥂. Great job Team

[@dainbramage712]

Oh my god the voice acting to be THAT close to John Conner. Wow.

[@JonnoPlays]

I was born in 1985 so that means I'm cool 😎

[@noah_ayyubi]

hands down best video game trailer released, so aesthetically vintage. Also perfect song choice.

[@adamjerzyrodewald5752]

OK i am 1981 and i am instantly in Love with this production

[@MiguelPerez-sq3tc]

This looks so amazing and beautiful

[@danielelopezonlyonyoutube1678]

"Not just a game". This can be said for anyone's favorite childhood memories. Least you can be in control even when your life is not. Don't play to win play to live.

[@Hittorito]

Jesus Christ, this trailer hits harder than Rock Balboa driving a train with the cole train feeding the coal furnace.

[@torchytries2168]

The nostalgia and beauty this game exudes omg.

[@JB3AZ]

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.
