How did this come about?
In April ’14, Hamster partnered with Nippon-Ichi after the former acquired the rights for Nihon-Busan’s entire Arcade library to bring arcade classics to PS4.
Wait, did I read that right? New game per month?
Yes. Aside from one hiccup, Hamster Corp has been consistent in putting out new games every month
Okay, so what’s been updated?
You’ve got a slew of display options, online leaderboards, SHAREPlay and Save States.
Uhhh…I don’t see a credit slot anywhere
Press the Triangle to put in more credits. Place a piggybank next to you and put in a quarter every now and then for maximum immersion.
Are there trophies?
Yes.
Are there Platinum trophies
No
The game I want hasn't been released yet
You can try hitting them up on Twitter
Can I...can I use my arcade stick?
Yes!
