Hamster has confirmed two retro reissues arriving June 4, 2026: Taito’s 1990 arcade maze game Cameltry will launch on Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2, while Sunsoft’s 1986 Famicom title Firework Thrower Kantaro’s 53 Stations of the Tokaido will be reissued under Hamster’s Console Archives banner.
Cameltry — a rotating-maze puzzler first released by Taito in 1990 for the F1 system hardware — tasks players with rotating a labyrinth to guide a ball to the goal before the timer runs out.
The F1 system is the same arcade hardware that powered titles such as Dead Connection, Metal Black and Hat Trick Hero.
Cameltry later appeared on home formats including the Super Famicom/SNES as On the Ball!, the Sharp X68000 and FM Towns, and its mechanics inspired later entries such as the Nintendo DS game Labyrinth (known in Japan as Mawashite Koron) and the 2009 iOS release Cameltry: The Labyrinth of Enigma.
Over the years Cameltry has been included in several compilations: Taito Memories Jōkan for PlayStation 2, Taito Memories Pocket for PSP, the international Taito Legends 2 (Xbox, PS2, Windows), Taito Legends Power-Up for PSP, Taito Milestones 4 on Nintendo Switch, and it has also been available via Antstream Arcade.
Hamster’s Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2 editions of Cameltry will release on June 4, 2026 across Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PS4, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Pricing is set at $7.99 for the Arcade Archives edition (PS4 and Switch), $9.99 for the Arcade Archives 2 edition, with an upgrade option between the two available for $2.99.
Hamster summarized Cameltry’s gameplay as follows: players rotate the maze to roll the ball toward the goal before the clock hits zero, navigating obstacles such as time-reducing traps and bumpers that deflect the ball.
The description highlights the title’s distinctive ball-and-maze action that defined the arcade original.
On the Console Archives front, Hamster confirmed a reissue of Sunsoft’s 1986 Famicom release Firework Thrower Kantaro’s 53 Stations of the Tokaido.
That release will arrive for Nintendo Switch 2 and PS5 at a price of $7.99.
Hamster noted the reissue will not include English-localized in-game text beyond the interface and manual.
Both announcements add to Hamster’s ongoing program of retro reissues on modern platforms, bringing classic arcade and console experiences to current-generation hardware and preserving notable entries from Taito and Sunsoft’s back catalogs.
