Arcade Archives Brings Thunder Fox to Switch and PS4 on January 30

Retro gaming fans can look forward to another arcade classic hitting modern consoles as Hamster releases Arcade Archives Thunder Fox on January 30, 2025, for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.

Originally developed by Taito in 1990, Thunder Fox is a fast-paced anti-terrorist action game, where players take on the role of an elite commando squad battling against terrorist forces. The game features a variety of vehicles, including combat jeeps, gyrocopters, and water bikes, adding a dynamic twist to the side-scrolling action.

The Arcade Archives series aims to faithfully reproduce classic arcade experiences, complete with adjustable difficulty settings and CRT-style display options. Online leaderboards will also be available, allowing players to compete for high scores globally.

To celebrate the launch, Hamster will air a special episode of its YouTube program Arcade Kaiber on January 30 (in Japanese), featuring former Taito developer Hiroyuki Maekawa alongside other industry guests to discuss the game’s history and development.

You can find out more on the official website (in Japanese).
