Super World Court, the classic tennis arcade title from Bandai Namco Entertainment, is making its highly anticipated return to modern platforms as part of Hamster Corp's acclaimed Arcade Archives series.
The game officially launches on May 29, 2025, and will be available digitally on both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 via the eShop and PlayStation Store, respectively.
First unveiled during a special Hamster Corp livestream celebrating Namco Month, Super World Court is the final title in a trio of Namco classics arriving this month on the Arcade Archives lineup.
Originally released in arcades in 1993, Super World Court is the follow-up to the 1988 hit Pro Tennis World Court, and is notable for introducing four-player simultaneous play along with a wide selection of unique and whimsical competitors.
According to information provided on the official Arcade Archives website, Super World Court is priced at $7.99 across both the Nintendo Switch and PS4 platforms.
The publisher describes Super World Court as a vibrant sports title that allows players to select from a diverse roster of characters—some conventional, and others more eccentric.
Players can compete in intense singles or doubles matches, choosing from a lineup that includes a quick-footed cat, the quirky frog-like MMM, and the mechanical Tins, adding a layer of charm and personality that has contributed to the game's enduring appeal.
Super World Court was originally developed for the Namco NA-1 arcade hardware, placing it alongside other vintage titles such as Exvania, Emeraldia, and Cosmo Gang The Puzzle.
Fans of Namco may also spot surprising in-game references, including a delightful cameo by Pac-Man on certain courts, a nod to the company’s storied arcade legacy.
A newly released trailer offers a look at the updated port, showcasing the classic pixel art and fast-paced tennis action that defined early-1990s arcade sports games.
With its accessible multiplayer modes and upbeat presentation, Super World Court stands as a testament to Bandai Namco’s influence on the sports game genre.
Hamster Corp’s ongoing collaboration with Bandai Namco Entertainment through the Arcade Archives series underscores the enduring popularity and historical significance of titles like Super World Court within the broader gaming community.
The arrival of Super World Court to modern consoles not only ensures its preservation for a new generation of players but also provides long-time fans with another opportunity to relive one of Namco’s arcade-era gems.
Super World Court is now available for purchase and download on Nintendo Switch and PS4 for $7.99, joining the expanding lineup of retro offerings in the Arcade Archives catalog.
For fans of classic arcade sports titles and those seeking couch multiplayer fun, this latest release is a welcome addition to the PlayStation and Nintendo eShop libraries.
