Arcade Archives (アーケードアーカイブス Ākēdo Ākaibusu?) is a series of emulated Arcade machine game titles from the 1980s and 1990s for Sony's PlayStation 4, Microsoft's Xbox One, and Windows 10, published by Hamster Corporation. The emulator for all games is developed by Nippon Ichi Software. There is also a sub-series called ACA Neo Geo (アケアカNEOGEO Akeaka Neo Jio?), which is focused on re-releasing Neo Geo titles, in their original Arcade (MVS) form, unlike many services with attempts to emulate the domestic (AES) console versions.
It has also been announced that the service is planned for a release on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop. According to a official announcement from Hamster, will feature The King of Fighters '98 as a launch title for the service, as well as initial line-up: Waku Waku 7, Shock Troopers, World Heroes Perfect and Metal Slug 3. As much like Nintendo eShop Virtual Console titles, new games will be released for every week. At the moment, only Neo Geo titles are announced.
