@DwaynesGames yup Taito & Namco games go on sale most frequently. Just about grabbed them all by now lol. But they do need to shake it up a little more with other IP owners.

While I’m glad Hamster is putting out more recent arcade games, $17 is just too much to ask. Even the Switch 1 version at $15. I’ll wait for a sale like I always do as rare as Hamster sales are. But I continue to applaud what Hamster is doing from Day 1. Outside of emulation, there’s really no way to play many of these games anymore! Keep em coming Hamster!

@Edd-O wow didn’t know that! Would love to see Prize Fighter again! Even though some frown on FMV games I enjoyed it. And Night Trap is one of my all time favorites! Thx

@Kingy Lately LRG has been much better with my orders. I tell you who definitely will never get another nickel from me is Strictly Limited! I’m still waiting on 3 pre orders from 2022/2023! It’s absolutely insane!!

Capcom Arcade Stadium for sure. Aero, Earnest Evans collection as well. REALLY Surprised to see the Slam City game from Sega CD library wow!
Would love to see Prize Fighter & Road Avenger too!

I think it’s insane that Nintendo wants $70 for the 2 Galaxies. While I’m happy they’re both on switch now, they should be $30 each tops. Even though they’re both still amazing games lol.

I wish Hamster would lay out a schedule of upcoming games? What’s the big secret anyway?

Would it kill these publishers to have a single player offline mode option so you don’t feel like you tossed your money out the window?? Jeez!

@YANDMAN right I meant the arcade versions of course but I didn’t assume that all 3 titles were in the arcade first: Hell if that’s the case, then put both versions of each game in there!

What would be awesome is if they can remaster the original Cruisin trilogy we had on N64! Those racers are awesome 😎
Meanwhile looking forward to this one for sure!

I loved the first one on Genesis. And nice to see the Atari Jaguar version in here! So I’m in!! Just rather not purchase from LR if I can help it. Maybe I’ll wait and see if it shows up in the Atari Age Store? Although sometimes waiting on them can be a while as well.

Go Atari! Let’s also see more Atari 50 DLC like the Activision classics pack and the Intellivision pack too! And KEEP THOSE NEW 7800 CARTS COMING! SO AWESOME! 😎

Awesome to see another round of 7800 carts coming when the next batch with never before released Tiger Heli didn’t even drop yet! Go Atari! My 40 year old 7800 system is loving the attention!! Keep em coming!!

Not my cup of coffee but it still gets me excited about potential future releases under this Arcade Archive 2 series! So Keep em coming Hamster!!

$30 million! Damn I’d love to know what this guys job entails daily. And didn’t they just lay people off and close a studio?? As a business owner I wouldn’t dare! You’re nothing without solid talented reliable employees!! I’m sure he’s not doing any programming or tech work, strolls in at 10am & leaves by 4. Smh just terrible!

I bought the PS4 version being Sony (and Microsoft) still issues reward points for purchases unlike greedy Nintendo that killed the gold coins. Terrible corporate greed big N!
Anyway RR is a good game but yea I agree that it is overpriced and I hate that we only have the first person view of your car. That being said, I’m excited to see what else Hamster has in store for the Arcade Archives 2 line up!

@Ristar24 ya know i was just gonna say that I can’t figure out how to get the 3rd person view of the car! Thanks for clarifying that you can’t. And because of this (it’s the arcade port I get it) minus a point! Oh well

Anyone know how to change the cars viewpoint? I prefer to see my car during a race

@chardir thx I will check that out - I need to get hold of a Switch 2 first! lol 😆

@chardir ok but as I understand it, you can’t have the same game downloaded to play on both consoles? Is that accurate? 🤷‍♂️
Certain switch 1 games I’d like to have available to play on both units.

Why can’t we simply sign in to switch 2 and see all our purchases and manage them accordingly like Microsoft and Sony does?? I’m not looking to kill my Switch 1 yet either just way to much games on it to move over for one thing and it sounds like the system transfer renders your Switch 1 pretty much useless??

Idk I recall enjoying the Genesis Bubsy 1 game a lot. And with the Jaguar edition included I have to say I’m in! This and the Gex collection too! We’re not always going to get what we want from the past but it’s good to know that some companies are trying to preserve the oldies be it good or bad. Accolades to Atari and LR. Accolades- see what I did there? lol

@Stormcloudlive so when I went back to try your suggestion I noticed another update so had that done, system restarted and now all is good! Weird experience on Switch. Anyway thx for the tips much appreciated ☺️

Wait a second my error code is 2002-6706. This is what I get when I click on the virtual game cards- is this the same issue?

Yea I did the update yesterday then I couldn’t access my library after the restart it just kept buffering. Then I bought a game which would usually download automatically but it didn’t so when I went to the virtual game cards to find it they wouldn’t come up either! I hope this is fixed by tomorrow when I plan to get some gaming in before my wife comes up with some stuff to kill my Saturday! 🤣

$666?!?!?? Total insanity is all I have to say!!

I’ve been saying this since the very first digital video game was ever downloaded- people need to get off their butts and into the stores and buy PHYSICAL GAMES! But it seems like it’s too late. It’s not that I don’t download games - but usually it’s games that aren’t available physically. GameStop I fear will be next at some point.

@NicolausCamp thx for the reply! Whatever the reason is, I’m looking forward to what’s down the line!! Should be awesome!! 🤩

I’m more curious what Hamster has up its sleeve with this “Arcade Archives 2” label & with the launch of Ridge Racer to kick it off!

What about NHL?? I could never understand how NHL and Madden weren’t on Switch 1 in the first place - only FIFA made it 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Ridge Racer via Arcade Archives 2?????!!?!? Tell us more about AA2!!! Gimme gimme!! lol

Amazing actor in many great movies like Heat, Top Gun and Willow. But for me his finest role was Doc Holiday in Tombstone- absolutely brilliant performance!

@rwalsh6882 isn’t it horrible?? Maybe when we’re all dead we will see some GameCube games. lol it’s just ridiculous!

@iNintendo wow I actually grabbed that game really cheap on the 360 way back but never booted it up. Not sure if I have it on switch but I’ll check it out thx 😊

@Kiyata omg I think I played bookworm for 2 years straight!! I was so hooked! How that game is not on Switch is beyond me! lol

How greedy can you get Nintendo?!?!? I’ll have to cut back a little bit while still focusing on physical purchases! Terrible corporate decision though!

Between Neo Geo and AA I gotta own close to the 200 area! I religiously check every week to see what’s new and what’s on sale! Many timeless classics worth the $8 although i usually grab most of them on sale!
Seems We will NEVER see ANY Atari/Midway classic games through Hamster much as I hoped they’d get a deal done with Warner Bros and that’s a shame because there’s dozens of classic arcade games in that buried treasure chest!! It’s the biggest gaping retro hole in the switch and PlayStation libraries!! Here’s hoping one day!!
2 minor complaints Hamster:
1- WHY is ONLY Neo Geo available On Xbox but no AA games at all? I don’t get that.
2- would it kill you guys to put out a sneak peak coming soon list once and a while??
Peace fellow gamers!

I orders Ray’z and Steel so long ago that I sometimes forget I even did!! It’s absolutely ridiculous now that it’s coming up on a year and a half for Ray’z!! There’s quite a few SLG games I could’ve ordered but passed up because this situation has made me very hesitant to order from them until my 2023 orders are in hand! While I understand the covid difficulties and etc etc, we’ve all been through Covid but that was 2020 this is 2025. And somehow Limited Run has managed to stay under a 6 month wait, at least for me.

Quick! One of you gaming companies that cares about game preservation please snap up all the Midway/Atari Games classic arcade games they own before it’s too late!!!!

@Migoshuro I agree- FEAR was such an incredible franchise idk why the hell they didn’t bring it back! Warner Bros has no idea what they’re doing! It’s like Atari early 1980s all over again!

So we’re getting the ARCADE & NES Operation Wolf versions? As long as the arcade version is included I’m In day 1.
Also have a feeling we’ll eventually see these as individual Hamster releases who have put out quite a few Taito games already.

I could never understand why Madden and NHL never made it to switch in the first place but FIFA was doable?? 🤷‍♂️

It begs the question- why would they even bother with the next Xbox console?

@Antraxx777 I didn’t say I went to one but you don’t have to be a genius to understand WHAT THAT WOULD BE LIKE & what I was getting at?? Cmon now. And it’s just a little daytime humor Houston! I see NL removed my comment too funny and that’s fine. But CERTAINLY Nintendo can be doing WAY better than this crud!

Been a big Atari fan since the 2600 was under my Xmas tree Christmas morning 1978! It was mind blowing! I was 12 and instantly hooked! Anyway, I think Wade is doing a hell of a job with the company now. Atari 50 is amazing and several recharge games are very cool. Then the 2600+ And now the 7800+ with a lineup of new games!
Also great moves acquiring Night Dive, digital eclipse, the Intellivision brand and games, and most of all imo, the acquisition of Atari Age giving them an avenue of tons of 2600 and 7800 homebrew games to republish on the plus systems like they’ve already done! So keep going Atari and MORE 7800 GAMES PLEASE!! 😊

I’ve been saying for years the switch eshop is a horrible navigational mess! The most important thing Nintendo needs to address with Switch 2 is the eshop! Hell even the Wii U eshop is better!

@OorWullie HOPEFULLY!! of course I failed to mention I’ve been seeing articles lately regarding Sega considering a subscription based service for its classic IP. Hope not though ☹️

@OorWullie omg that would be so amazing! Sega really frustrates me with the ton of arcade classics they own but do nothing with! I was so upset when they pulled the plug on the Sega Ages lineup! There’s no limits on what they can do. Hopefully delisting all these classic games recently will lead to something big!! 🙏

If you have plans for Ecco Sega, please use the Sega CD soundtracks! Talk about atmospheric! absolutely amazing music!
