New Arcade Archives releases could be impacted by coronavirus and CERO’s temporary closure

When the eShop updates each week, you pretty much know that you’ll be seeing a new Arcade Archives game. But due to what’s happening with the coronavirus, the situation could be changing.
In Hamster’s latest broadcast on Niconico this week, the company said it anticipates changes in its development schedule. CERO, Japan’s ratings agency, has temporarily closed due to the coronavirus, which means that some titles may not be able to receive their proper classifications.
Hamster currently holds the Guinness World Record for the most consecutive weeks of eShop game releases having published a title for the past 160 weeks, give or take. However, the company still wants to maintain its record. It’s possible that some games may not be announced prior to their release.
Given the situation, it’s understandable that there wasn’t much in the way of news regarding upcoming Arcade Archives titles. However, Gemini Wing was reconfirmed to be coming in the future.
