We really enjoyed the time we spent with Narita Boy when it was released on Switch late last month, but we could never expect it to receive a special edition soon. quite like this.
Team17 and Studio Koba have unveiled Narita Boy: Techno Edition, a “premium and exclusive edition” of the game. This deluxe version includes a bespoke and custom Narita Boy arcade wardrobe, with custom graphics, and is the only one of its kind available for private property.
As you might expect, and as you’ve already seen in the headline, this unique limited edition isn’t cheap. The Techno Edition is available for purchase for £ 7,999 / $ 11,000 / € 9,185 and, at the time of writing, has not yet been downloaded.
Narita Boy – Techno Edition includes:
– Custom Narita Boy Arcade machine
– Unique custom console controller
– Copy of Narita Boy on all available platforms
– Care package
– Set of limited edition augmented reality pins
– Original soundtrack
Three other Narita Boy arcade cabinets are also being produced, but will be housed in game museums as part of the Saving The Arcade World campaign, a partnership between Team17, Studio Koba, The Strong: The National Museum of Play in New York , The National Video Game Museum in Sheffield, United Kingdom and Arcade Vintage: Video Game Museum in Alicante, Spain.
All proceeds from the sale of Narita Boy: Techno Edition will go to this campaign, which raises funds for institutions ’game preservation projects.
