A Konami Xbox 360 console exclusive has been stealth-released on modern platforms, 16 years after it came to the most popular Xbox console ever. The game in question actually hails from 1987, though, when it was released by Konami in arcades. Then, in 2010, it was re-released on PC and Xbox 360, and that was it, making it an Xbox 360 console exclusive at the time. Now, it is on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Consquently, this is the first time the game has ever been available on both Nintendo and PlayStation platforms.
Konami isn’t publishing this new release directly. Instead, Hamster is bringing Konami’s classic pool game, Rack ‘Em Up, to two different arcade collections: Arcade Archives 2 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X, and Arcade Archives on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Arcade Archives 2 costs $9.99, while the original Arcade Archives version is priced at $7.99. Players who already own the original can upgrade for $2.99.
New Features For 40-Year-Old Classic
This isn’t a rebuilt or reimagined version of the game; it’s the classic experience you remember, now with some added extras. You’ll find new modes like Time Attack, High Score, Original, and Caravan. We’ve also included Variable Refresh Rate to make it feel more like playing in the arcade, a significant improvement over the 2010 PC and Xbox 360 versions. Be warned, though – this is a true arcade game, meaning it’s designed to be challenging, just like the games of that era.
Fans of the Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2 series seem to be excited about this particular addition, as the trailer above has zero dislikes, only likes, with many positive comments as well.
“About time, I used to play this on Game Room a lot. Waaaay better than the Side Pocket games, in my opinion,” reads one of the top comments on the YouTube trailer above. Another comment adds: “Finally, a Konami Classic arrives to the Arcade Archives. Rack em up looks like a very chill and relaxing pool game. I hope to play it on my Switch.”
