I was a modest fan of the first one, but I'm very glad I took a chance on it because that lead me to playing The New Challengers. I enjoyed TNC so much more than the first game, and having an imported save from that title made it an even better experience.
The writing feels far more natural in this game, more honest and real. The original had an issue where it would sometimes come off as "clearly written dialogue" rather than something a person would think to say.
While I went into it being hesitant about all of the new characters in TNC, they did all grow on me over time to various degrees. My favorite of the main crew is Zapper, and Domino is my least favorite.
What really surprised me however was the customizable rival, and the ability to romance them. I'm a sucker for a good enemies to lovers story, and I was able to get exactly what I wanted here. I don't know what the friendly rival is like, but I loved how the hostile rival was written and how we interacted.
Ultimately I loved the game, and it feels like playing the first Arcade Spirits was merely a prelude to the amazing experience that I had with The New Challengers.
