+SabertoothRetro Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) The first in-game images of Breakout: Recharged as well as a release date are here. Out February 10, 2022! From Nintendo.com: The original brick breaker returns with its toughest challenge yet. Survive as long as you can in arcade or take on one of 50 challenges picking up game-changing power-ups along the way! The grandfather of brick-breaking games is back with some of the toughest challenges yet! Breakout: Recharged steps up the excitement with a fresh coat of paint, exciting power-ups, and another original soundtrack from award-winning video game composer Megan McDuffee. Breakout: Recharged will forever change what you expect from a brick-breaking title. The endless arcade mode and 50 challenge levels will push you to the limit of your skills. Don’t fret, however, as this wouldn’t be a Recharged title without game-changing powerups. Expect the aid of rail guns, homing missiles, and explosives to join the traditional multi-ball. You’ll need every tool in the arsenal and razor-sharp reflexes to climb the global leaderboards. Key Features: Old Meets New: Classic Breakout gameplay updated with refined control, and modern visual flourishes Power Up: Blast special bricks to pick up paddle-transforming power-ups a rail gun, explosive balls, missile launchers, and more Challenge: Compete in a series of 50 challenges designed to put even the most seasoned players to the test Compete: Reach the top of global leaderboards for arcade and individual challenge modes Bring a Friend: Play local co-op in every mode - breaking bricks is better together! Get in the Groove: Rock out to an original score by Megan McDuffee Edited February 10, 2022 by justclaws changed subject to show (in VCS Store) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SabertoothRetro Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 Is anyone else getting a vague Jinks (7800) vibe from these captures? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I suspected they'd go with an "endless arcade" mode rather than levels! Seems cool to me and looking forward to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SabertoothRetro Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 If there are 50 challenges in the other versions, I wonder if we'll get 60 on the VCS? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SabertoothRetro Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 For those that are curious, the paddle function of the Classic Controller was confirmed by Atari's producer via Twitter. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMaddog Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I also hope there will also be mouse support for the Steam version, or else we'll have issues... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negative1 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) looking forward to this. but its basically arkanoid all over again (or maybe tournament). even the power ups seem the same. xbox preorder page: https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/breakout-recharged/9p7178rs82s7?ocid=AID2200057_aff_7593_1243925&tduid=(ir__1aq6qxexdwkf60utnnosoqbsk22xo9ajmuvzo6ir00)(7593)(1243925)(te1Fq2FCseg-Wcd939sX3VGfNxGLCFbQ4w)()&ranMID=24542&ranEAID=te1Fq2FCseg&ranSiteID=te1Fq2FCseg-Wcd939sX3VGfNxGLCFbQ4w&epi=te1Fq2FCseg-Wcd939sX3VGfNxGLCFbQ4w&irgwc=1&irclickid=_1aq6qxexdwkf60utnnosoqbsk22xo9ajmuvzo6ir00 later -1 Edited January 23, 2022 by negative1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW - does anyone know when Atari plans on fixing the Leaderboard system? Only local scoring seems to work for me in the Recharged games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_JaguarVCS Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I can see myself spending many hours playing Breakout Recharged! It’s been that way with all the Recharged games so far, I enjoy them so much I end up buying the games across all the other platforms as well as the VCS, I’ll spend the most time playing the VCS version though and then the Switch version for portability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+swlovinist Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I am really happy with this one. Nice to see them offering a classic at a good price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoGamer Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Tomorrow is the day! Does anyone know if the game will launch shortly after midnight (like most games do on the big 3) or will it be later in the day? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
