Hamster Corporation has been one of the steadiest supporters of the Switch since day one with their Arcade Archives NeoGeo titles. Today, they announced that combined worldwide sales for all ACA NeoGeo games have exceeded one million. More Arcade Archives games are on the way, naturally, like Samurai Showdown II next week.

With the eShop updating today, it gives us a look at Hamster’s next releases on Switch. The company is preparing two more classics for January 25.

First up, the NeoGeo game World of Heroes 2 will be available. Here’s a brief overview:

World Heroes 2 is a fighting game released by SNK in 1993. Players are able to take part in epic battles between 14 historic figures such as Hanzo Hattori and Jeanne. Players can enjoy numerous battle strategies via the simple but deep game system featuring mechanics such as “Throw Back” and “Projectile Bounce Back”.

Arcade Archives Double Dragon was originally intended for release on Switch last month, but that didn’t happen. For whatever reason, it ended up seeing an unexpected delay.

Hamster now says that Double Dragon is on track for tomorrow on Switch. It’ll be out in all regions for $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.29.

Hamster has brought a ton of NeoGeo titles to Switch over the past year, including Magician Lord. For some time though, it had gone missing on the North American eShop.

The good news is that Magician Lord is available once more. We’re not sure why it was taken down in the first place, but we assume that it won’t be removed again.

King of the Monsters is the newest game on Switch, where it’s available in Japan and North America / Europe tomorrow. Check out some footage below.

Included with the latest issue of Nintendo Dream is a small booklet recapping all of Switch’s releases last year. It also gives a small look at what’s to come in 2018.

The book also confirms four more classics from Hamster. This month, we should be able to expect the following:

ACA NeoGeo King of the Monsters – January 4
Arcade Archives Crazy Climber – January 11
ACA NeoGeo Art of Fighting 2 – January 11
ACA NeoGeo Power Spikes – January 18

Another Hamster game we could be seeing this month is Double Dragon. That was originally supposed to launch in December, but was delayed at the last minute.
