It feels like Nintendo Direct presentations are squarely targeted at the sickos these days, and if you happen to be a fellow retro sicko, today's presentation brought the goods. The highlight was the reveal of Hamster's Console Archives line of emulated re-releases, which seem to be the one thing keeping the Virtual Console dream alive on Switch 2.
For years, Japanese publisher Hamster Corporation has been putting out classic arcade titles on modern platforms under the Arcade Archives banner. The line includes hundreds of games, ranging from household names like Pac-Man and Space Invaders to much more obscure, but historically significant gems.
