Since launching the Arcade Archives series, Hamster has made it a mission to preserve gaming history, delivering faithful ports of vintage titles to today's hardware.
The ACA NeoGeo Selection series compiles some of the most iconic releases from SNK's legendary NeoGeo arcade platform, and their arrival on the Switch further cements Nintendo's status as a destination for retro gaming enthusiasts.

Hamster's previous volumes—ACA NeoGeo Selection Vol.
1 and 2—first debuted in Japanese stores at the end of December, with Vol.
3 and 4 following just last month.
These compilations have been well-received by both collectors and long-time fans, thanks to their authentic emulation and robust lineup of games.
"With each ACA NeoGeo Selection, our goal has been to faithfully reproduce the excitement of classic arcades, making them accessible to players on today's platforms," a Hamster representative conveyed in a recent statement, emphasizing the company's ongoing commitment to game preservation and accessibility on the Nintendo Switch.
The physical releases will appeal in particular to collectors, as boxed Switch editions of classic compilations remain in high demand within Japan's vibrant gaming retail market.
Previously, individual titles from the NeoGeo catalog have been available digitally via the Nintendo eShop, but these retail compilations offer a new level of convenience and value.
Fans interested in these upcoming volumes can expect updates on pre-order availability and import options as the August 2025 release date approaches.
With a strong track record of bringing essential arcade experiences to new hardware, Hamster's ACA NeoGeo Selection continues to thrive as a cornerstone for retro gaming on the Nintendo Switch.
