Hamster looking to release 800 Arcade Archives titles

I wish they'd add online multiplayer for the games where it makes sense, like fighting games. The online scoreboards that they have right now are still pretty cool, though.
I'd love to see them do some physical releases. Release a a retail pack of 50~ to ~100 games and I'd buy it.
I'd not heard of this before; looked up their website, and found Hamster's the ones re-releasing those NeoGeo games on the Xbox One recently.

The PS4 side has been getting even more of these arcade games for years, apparently. Lots of great titles in that list.

You're not allowed to praise Konami's terrible beat'm ups and diss SNK's
Robo Army is better than everything Konami
The only good beat em up that SNK ever released was sengoku 3. None of their other beat em up could compare to The Simpsons or TMNT
Bruh The Simpsons is like one of the qorst Konami brawler. It was never good to begin wirh. Konami's end of 80s start of 90s brawlers all followed the same formula with little to no variation. At least Robo Army was different (but yeah burning fight sucked and Mutation Nation was somewhat average)
They need to bring more old school Shmups, especially the ones by Taito and Toaplan, I'd buy them all up!
Sammy only published the MD version of Viewpoint
SNK published the AES/MVS versions and Aicom developped them
THE TIME HAS COME!!!
Yes.....
YES........
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!
Not sure what this may cover, but in terms of general arcade games, I'd love :
Rastan Saga
Black Tiger/Dragon
Operation Wolf/Thunderbolt, Gradius/Nemesis
Salamander
Tehkan World Cup (probably shit without the trackball!)
Ironman Stewart's Off Road
APB
Snow Bros
Paperboy
Cabal/Blood Bros
Knights of the Round
Could go on and on!!

Gradius, Salamander/Life Force are already available on PS4.
I want them to start releasing lightgun games (Lethal Enforcers!) on Switch's ACA, wouldn't this work reasonably well with the Joy-con?
Says who?

Super Baseball 2020 is coming to Switch in February.
So I wouldn't be surprised if Baseball Stars 2 releases right when baseball season starts.
Wish they'd branch out a bit more with their offerings. Aside from some of the Neo Geo titles, most of the games they've added are trash that probably should've stayed in the past.
That said, I'd kinda like a physical compilation release of these at the same time.

Very nice, theres over 150 Arcade Archives on Ps4 at the moment (JP store), just to add to your oddly specific Nintendo quotation (nevermind its quoted from a Nintendo site)
The more the merrier.
Also i love hamsters
Hmm, asking a bit much of Nintendo to be able to sort by publishers surely.
Lewd. Is VS Mario just regular ass SMB?
Great - will have to look in to them when I get my PS4 out of storage. Would love them on the Switch!
What's taking Nintendo so long to release some dpad joycons. Switch could also do with folders. We're not ready.
Weren't they released in a collection on just about every console last generation? If anything Capcom would probably just port the collection to newer systems.
Switch needs folders so bad. My ACA collection is already out of hand.
Anyway, classic publishers/libraries Hamster has licensed or owns access too:
Data East (G-mode)
Escape/WestOne (Lat)
Irem
Jaleco (Clarice Games)
Konami (plus Hudson)
Nichibutsu (Hamster owned)
Nintendo (Switch exclusive)
NMK (Hamster owned)
SNK
Sunsoft
Taito (Square Enix)
Technos (Arc System Works)
Tekhan/Tecmo (Koei Tecmo Games)
UPL (Asya)
Video System
People asking for Capcom, Namco (plus Banpresto) and Sega (plus Sammy and Atlus) games should just stop now too. They won't bother as they'll want to do their retro services and collections. I suspect Cave and Eighting fall in this camp too, or just prefer working with M2 on premium older stuff. Zerodiv has Psikyo covered already too.
There are other classics Hamster could get though. Personally I'd like to see Toaplan (whoever owns it), Mitchell, Kaneko, Seta (Aruze), Visco, Seibu Kaihatsu (Moss) and the other Data East games (owned by Paon).

Beat'em ups to me are about mashing and beating shit up with friends or family; even the most basic of beatem ups are fun when played with others
My nephews and brothers all had a blast playing xmen on the ps3 and simpsons
I cant think of any snk or neo geo beatem up i liked outside of MAYBE Gang wars
Unless i am mixing it up with another beatem up :v
Man, you just reminded me that I absolutely love that game. Haven't played it in so many years
Gradius 2 on PS4 and Aero Fighters 2 on Switch are both absolutely wonderful. Two of my favorite shooters of all time and I'm getting to replay them on my modern systems thanks to Hamster! Can't wait to see what else they port!
Can you please release the rest of the Metal Slug games on Switch? Please Hamster!
Even though 7/XX wasn't on arcades at all. 6 also maybe.
