With that wish and also Nintendo\u2019s cooperation, we were finally able to make that a reality. When it was finally decided we would do it, I think I was more surprised than anyone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The \u2018Arcade Archives\u2019 series was established with the aim of looking back into the past and restoring classic arcade games. This is just my guess, but I think a common ethos is one reason we succeeded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I think being allowed to port Nintendo\u2019s titles [also] has a lot to do with a history we share\u2026 on the Wii U we released games on the Virtual Console.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hamada went on to explain how generally the older the game is, the harder it is when trying to negotiate a deal and republish it. There are also often issues when the data has not been preserved:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In those cases we acquire the original circuit boards and work from there. But honestly there are also plenty of cases where we can\u2019t acquire those circuit boards and so can\u2019t republish the game at all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Are you a fan of Hamster\u2019s Arcade Archives series?
