The Arcade is a gameplay mechanic of Goddess of Victory: Nikke introudced with the Old Tales update
Story[]
One day, the protagonist is visited by Exia, Elegg, and Trony, who on top of being some of the biggest tech people he knows, are also some of the biggest gamers he knows. Elegg passes him a strange game console, one that the trio boasts has a special feature; it automatically compiles all of the unofficial games made in the Ark, making it one of if not the biggest collection of indie games ever made.
Elegg gushes about how this console is a godsend for indie gamers, and assures the protagonist that it will auto-update its library, so he doesn't need to go scouring for new titles himself. The buck then gets passed to Trony to explain the making of the system, who in typical Trony fashion, clams up and gives the most laconic, unexciting explanation ever. Awkward silence ensues befor the protagonist makes a save by cheering over how some of the biggest techheads in the Ark have collaborated to give him this custom masterpiece of a system.
Taking the thanks with pride, the trio then gives the protagonist their reason for giving him the console; they want him to be its first user, and to really put the thing through its paces by gaming his heart out. A notion both he and they are more than happy to entertain.
Gameplay[]
Some event minigames will be implemented or moved here instead of the Archives, with the Arcade versions featuring challenge missions and rewards as if the minigames were in their original event run.
