This week's Arcade Archives title from Hamster is the Athena. It will see release on Dec. 13th, 2018. Check out a quick blurb on the game below.
Athena is a platformer arcade game, produced and published in 1986 by SNK. The game's protagonist, Princess Athena, has gone on to appear in later fighting games by SNK as a secret character or assistant to her descendant Athena Asamiya, a frequent main character in these games. The game features certain role-playing video game elements to complement the platform action. Princess Athena has to defeat enemies by using various mythological weapons, items and equipment. Without some items, she cannot make it through the adventure.

The image above comes from a presentation that SNK recently held showcasing what projects they have in the works. That goes hand-in-hand with an article that mentions SNK revealing that the upcoming Samurai Spirits is heading to Switch. Also in the image is Nintendo's logo next to both the King of Fighters and Metal Slug franchises. King of Fighters XV is in development, but platforms weren't specifically discussed. As far as Metal Slug, it's not clear if anything at all was said.
Two more trailers for SNK HEROINES ~Tag Team Frenzy~ in Japan. We have the Japanese version of the Jeanne DLC trailer, as well as a new promo video for the game in general.

Thanks to someone's prank, MissX's appearance has been altered, and she's forced to fight in SNK HEROINES Tag Team Frenzy. But who is MissX, really? No matter! Focus less on figuring out her true identity and concentrate more on not getting thrashed when MissX enters the arena! Word of advice: Don't mention anything about the Kyo Kusanagi shirt.
