Arcade Archives

Arcade Archives (アーケードアーカイブス) is a series of emulated arcade games from the late 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, and Nintendo Switch, published by Hamster Corporation. A sub-series called ACA Neo Geo (アケアカNEOGEO) is focused on re-releasing Neo Geo titles in their original arcade format, unlike many services with attempts to emulate the console versions.

Arcade Archives was first released for the PlayStation 4 on May 15, 2014 via the PlayStation Network. It supports various system specific features, in which players can share screenshots and videos, and compete with others scores for online ranking. The Xbox One version of the service was launched on February 23, 2017 via the Xbox Games Store, and only includes Neo Geo games. The Nintendo Switch version of the service was also launched on the Nintendo eShop on March 3, 2017, initially focusing on Neo Geo games before the addition of other arcade games, including Nintendo's own games. The Windows version of the service was launched on December 15, 2017 through the Microsoft Store, and also like the Xbox One version, this version only includes Neo Geo games. ACA Neo Geo games were released on iOS (via the App Store) and Android (via Google Play) on November 30, 2021. In May 2024, Hamster announced ACA2 Neo Geo (アケアカ2NEOGEO) for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Main features from standard ACA2 Neo Geo games include Time Attack and Network (online play) modes. Users who previously bought ACA Neo Geo titles on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One gets a discount on purchase of ACA2 Neo Geo titles.
