I frankly shudder to think about how much crunching had to be done to get that record.

I wonder how people in the future (maybe 5-10yrs later) handle the nostalgia of this console,

Has it ever been revealed how the emulation is done for these titles? They all seem suspiciously like a repackaged version of MAME with a single ROM running in it

I really applaud their efforts, I’ve been a supporter of the Arcade Archives series since Mario Bros. It’s really great to see so many cool games get rereleased each week.

I feel sorry for people who are unaware of FPGA hardware that can play these arcade classics with 100% accuracy and little to no latency.

Cool, I wish they could or would do The Simpsons game……

They’ve had weekly releases? Seriously? I feel like they haven’t been marketed at all.

Still surprised they haven’t done Popeye yet. That’s the one Nintendo arcade classic still missing from the console.

Most of the work is probably securing all the licenses for the games.

If they put Ms Pac-Man and Midway’s arcade games on the system, it will the console with the best library of classic arcade games.
