Castle of Dragon is this week’s Arcade Archives game on Nintendo Switch

Hamster never takes a week off from adding to its Arcade Archives series, and the company has now announced Castle of Dragon as its latest release. The game launches tomorrow, January 2.

Athena originally made the game back in 1989. Here’s an official overview, courtesy of Hamster:

Two young kings set out on a journey to a castle inhabited by dragons in order to save a princess kidnapped by a ferocious dragon. Use your shield to defend against enemy attacks, or move between the two lines of paths at the front and back to create an advantageous situation in the battle.

The Arcade Archives series has faithfully reproduced many classic Arcade masterpieces. Players can change various game settings such as game difficulty, and also reproduce the atmosphere of arcade display settings at that time. Players can also compete against each other from all over the world with their high scores. Please enjoy the masterpiece that built a generation for video games.

Check out the new official trailer below.
