This week’s issue of Famitsu has an early report on Hamster’s releases for Switch. On December 13, Arcade Archives Athena will be added to the eShop.
If Athena sounds familiar, that’s because it was recently included in SNK 40th Anniversary Collection. The side-scrolling platformer has players jumping, climbing, and swimming to reach new areas. In the game, players collect armor and weapons along the way after Athena starts out with only a red bikini.
Arcade Archives Athena will cost $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.29 on the Switch eShop.
