Bandai Namco previously announced that GameCenter CX: Arino no Chousenjou 1 + 2 Replay (Retro Game Challenge 1 +2 Replay) was in the works for Switch. Today brings us a new trailer for the game, and it reveals a Feb. 22nd, 2024 release date for Japan. There’s no word on a localization at this time.

There will be both digital and physical options of Retro Game Challenge 1 +2 Replay available, with the standard digital/physical version priced at 5,900 yen. Those who cough up 9500 yen can get the DVD bundle edition, which includes a “Bandai Namco Special” DVD featuring the unaired “Arino’s Challenge” segment Kinnikuman: Kinnikusei Oui Soudatsusen, first DVD recordings of the Arino’s Challenge segments Oishinbo Kyuukyoku no Menu Sanbonshoubu and Pac-Land, and a bonus game adaptation project of famous scenes.
