Plenty of SNK, and two Nintendo games of wildly varying quality.

Hamster has unveiled a massive group of games for the Arcade Archives that could stretch for up to three months.

In a presentation timed for the end of this year's Tokyo Game Show, the following games were announced for release on Switch in the next few months for the Neo-Geo portion of the service: Bust-a-Move (Puzzle Bobble) 1/2, The King of Fighters 2001, Zupapa, 3 Count Bout, Pleasure Goal, Savage Reign, and Strikers 1945+.

A further eight titles have been licensed from other developers including Nintendo and SNK. These titles include Alpha Mission (ASO), Ninja Kid II, Route-16, Urban Champion, Athena, Ikari Warriors, Donkey Kong Jr., and Image Fight. Alpha Mission, Athena, and Ikari Warriors are also slated to appear in the November 13 release of the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection.

Urban Champion?  Why does Nintendo keep re-releasing that?  I guess this is the arcade version but still...

I really wonder what the sales of that game are like each time they offer it on a new platform.  With the Wii Virtual Console I figure it would have gotten a fair amount of sales out of curiosity since retro games in a digital store was a new thing so every title released got a little more attention than usual.  But since then I can't imagine anyone familiar with the game, who is not downloading it to review it, buying it.  Are we looking at sales under three digits?
