2 NES Games From the 1980s Return With New Releases

by

I’m so hyped! Hamster is bringing two classic games to Switch and PlayStation on May 7th: Arkanoid and MagMax. Honestly, Arkanoid is the one I’m really excited about. It was a huge hit in arcades back in 1986 – that brick-breaking gameplay is just iconic! Then it came to the NES in ’87 and blew up even more here in North America. It’s definitely one of the most loved brick-breaker games of all time, and it’s awesome to see it getting a release on modern consoles. I can’t wait to play it again!
