Hamster talks about working with Nintendo for their Arcade Archives series

Hamster has been working with their Arcade Archives series for awhile now, but in recent months, they've partnered up with Nintendo to re-release some of their classic titles. In a Famitsu interview with Arcade Archives producer Satoshi Hamada, we learn a bit more about the collaboration, and why Hamster thinks Nintendo teamed with them.

I’ve always wanted to release a collection of famous Nintendo arcade titles via the ‘Arcade Archives’ series. With that wish and also Nintendo’s cooperation, we were finally able to make that a reality. When it was finally decided we would do it, I think I was more surprised than anyone.

The ‘Arcade Archives’ series was established with the aim of looking back into the past and restoring classic arcade games. This is just my guess, but I think a common ethos is one reason we succeeded.
