Nintendo Switch Is Getting More Classic Arcade Games
For the uninitiated, Hamster's Arcade Archives series has given Switch owners a plethora of old-school games that initially debuted in the arcades. Thus far, the series has included games like Donkey Kong, Punch-Out!!, Frogger, and more, presented in a format meant to faithfully deliver the experience seen in arcades (minus the quarters). Each of the games in the Arcade Archives series retails for $7.99.
All of the new releases were originally created by Data East, and released throughout the '80s and '90s. Of the latest batch, BurgerTime is easily the most recognizable. Released in arcades back in 1982, the game put players in the role of Peter Pepper, as he attempts to create burgers, while avoiding malicious hot dogs, pickles, and eggs. The game spawned a number of follow-ups, including 2019's BurgerTime Party!, released exclusively on Nintendo Switch. Now, fans of the 2019 game can see how the series got its start!
The rest of the games offer quite a bit of variety for old-school fans. In Burnin' Rubber, players are tasked with jumping over obstacles, and bumping other vehicles on the road to cause them to crash. Darwin 4078 is a shoot 'em up in which players can evolve their ship into different forms. Finally, Trio the Punch is a brawler with three playable characters, and 35 levels to complete.
The Arcade Archives series has been steadily offering old-school classics nearly every week since the launch of the Nintendo Switch. According to Hamster, those releases could begin to slow due to the coronavirus pandemic, so this could be the last batch announced, for the foreseeable future.

Gossip Nothing wrong with a classic game. Price should be lower for an older game though in my opinion.
Yeah if the games are old they definitely should be a lot cheaper, but look at the cods still going for 20 plus dollars on the store LMFAO.
