A New THE NEWZEALAND STORY By Commodore

A cult classic brought back to life

With the remake of THE NEWZEALAND STORY Commodore Industries, under license from TAITO, aims to bring a legendary historic video game back to life.

In 1988 by TAITO, the arcade title was born from the imagination and creativity that made that era famous.

For this reason, the game comes back in a new form, staying true to its original charm.

An adventure simple in concept, extraordinary in execution.

The adventure begins at the Auckland Zoo, where TIKI lives peacefully with Phee-Phee and other Kiwis.

This peace is suddenly shattered by the arrival of a giant Sea Lion, who kidnaps TIKI’s friends.

Thus begins an extraordinary journey that takes him across New Zealand landscapes: lush forests, rugged coastlines, sea caves, mysterious labyrinths.

“There is light music and vibrant colors; however, the game world hides a surprising complexity, full of challenges.

The protagonists

At the heart of THE NEWZEALAND STORY are characters who, in their apparent simplicity, embody universal values recognizable to all.

TIKI represents courage born from the unexpected: a small Kiwi who, driven by events, becomes a hero of the story.

Moreover, TIKI’s strength is fueled by Phee-Phee, who, even from afar, remains the emotional driving force of the entire thrilling adventure.

Even the imprisoned Kiwi friends convey a sense of togetherness, expressing community, solidarity, and deep bonds that support the protagonist.

However, these characters, already ingrained in the imagination of the original players, return today with renewed energy, freshness, and extraordinary vitality.

Thus, in the remake, they are not merely narrative elements, but an integral part of a project that unites historical identity with sensibility.

A legacy that continues

With the return of THE NEWZEALAND STORY, Commodore Industries reaffirms its commitment to celebrating classic video games, preserving their creative spirit.

Consequently, the remake projects the legacy of the title into the present, celebrating TAITO’s expertise.

Finally, the experience offered resonates with the memories of long-time fans and the excitement of new generations of players.

Stay tuned for updates, because the journey of this renewed arcade adventure has just begun, full of surprises.
