Arcade Archives[a] is a series of emulated arcade games from the late 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, and Nintendo Switch, published by Hamster Corporation. A sub-series called ACA Neo Geo[b] focuses on re-releasing Neo Geo titles in their original arcade format, unlike many services that attempt to emulate the console versions.

Arcade Archives was first released for the PlayStation 4 on May 15, 2014, via the PlayStation Network. It supports various system-specific features, allowing players to share screenshots and videos and compete with others for online rankings. The Xbox One version of the service launched on February 23, 2017, via the Xbox Games Store and exclusively includes Neo Geo games. The Nintendo Switch version was also launched on the Nintendo eShop on March 3, 2017,[1] initially focusing on Neo Geo games before adding other arcade games, including titles from Nintendo. The Windows version of the service was launched on December 15, 2017, through the Microsoft Store and, like the Xbox One version, only includes Neo Geo games.[2] ACA Neo Geo games were released on iOS (via the App Store) and Android (via Google Play) on November 30, 2021.[3] In May 2024, Hamster announced ACA2 Neo Geo[c] for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Main features of standard ACA2 Neo Geo games include Time Attack and Network (online play) modes. Users who previously purchased ACA Neo Geo titles on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One receive a discount on the purchase of ACA2 Neo Geo titles.[4]
