When Tutankham and Super Basketball were released in the U.S., they originally kept their original names. "Horror Maze" and "Basketball" are names exclusive to this collection. It is unknown why the games' names were changed. This compilation also marks the first North America appearance of the original TwinBee arcade game in any form.
Reception for Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits has been slightly positive, garnering an average score of 76% on Game Rankings. Complaints have revolved around either some of the included games simply (in GameSpot's words) "aren't really worth playing," or the visuals being "squashed" or "jittery." 1UP was even more critical of the included game library, stating "The bulk of the 15-title collection, however, is dated and generally pretty lame." Furthermore, some sites such as IGN or VGRC lamented the lack of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection support, with VGRC saying "It is a shame, because some of these games would have been made so much greater if we could play them online."
