Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh Hits Arcade Archives on Nintendo Switch and Next‑Gen Platforms

Taito's 1987 arcade sequel Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh is receiving standalone releases across modern platforms via Hamster's Arcade Archives line, arriving for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PS4, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The reissue follows Hamster's earlier launch of the original 1986 Arkanoid on Arcade Archives 1 & 2 in May and brings the block‑breaking classic to a wider set of current consoles and storefronts. Background and release details Hamster is releasing Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh as part of its Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2 collections. The Arcade Archives edition for Nintendo Switch and PS4 is priced at $7.99, while the Arcade Archives 2 edition for Nintendo Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S is listed at $9.99. The rollouts include the usual Arcade Archives extras such as multiple display filters, additional play modes and online leaderboards. Game legacy and ports Debuting in arcades in 1987, Revenge of Doh built on the core gameplay of the original Arkanoid by adding branching stage paths, mini‑boss encounters, new power‑ups and additional brick types. The sequel was a commercial success for Taito and was subsequently ported to home systems including the Nintendo Famicom and a range of 1980s home computers. Ocean Software published home computer versions under the Imagine Software label for the Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64. Hamster's description paraphrased Hamster describes Revenge of Doh as a brick‑breaking arcade sequel that preserves the fundamental energy‑ball mechanics of Arkanoid while introducing new systems. The reissue highlights branching left and right paths between stages, a broader variety of in‑game items, and the series antagonist DOH as a dimension‑crossing threat players must stop. Context for collectors and players If you already own the title as part of Taito's Egret II Mini package, which included the paddle and trackball controllers, this Arcade Archives release provides a digital alternative across mainstream consoles. The standalone Arcade Archives releases make the sequel accessible on both the current Nintendo Switch family and next‑generation hardware, with consistent bonus features favored by retro enthusiasts. Additional Arcade Archives news Alongside Revenge of Doh, Hamster has scheduled an Arcade Archives 2 release of SEIBU KAIHATSU's action title Wiz for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S, also priced at $9.99. Players can expect both reissues to appear on their respective platform storefronts in the publisher's upcoming release windows.
