Continuing the process of converting Switch owners into die-hard fans of the NeoGeo, Hamster Corporation is releasing Blazing Star on the eShop tomorrow. It’s actually out now in Japan, but Nintendo’s site lists it for May 2 in North America. It will probably be available in Europe this week as well.

Hamster kept up with its string of NeoGeo games on Switch this week. On Thursday, Arcade Archives hit the eShop. View an official trailer for it below.

Fatal Fury is the new NeoGeo game on Switch having launched across North America, Europe, and Japan. Take a look at some footage below.

Nintendo highlighted Hamster’s Arcade Archives series during the latest Nintendo Direct. King of Fighters ’99, Galaxy Fight, and Shock Troopers 2nd Squad were among the confirmed games.

However, two were left out from the Japanese presentation. Last Resort and the first Sengoku should be heading to Switch at some point. It’s unclear why the overseas Nintendo Direct lacked these games, but it’s probably not something we should be too worried about.

The European eShop has updated with a listing for yet another Neo Geo game. Next Thursday, Hamster will be bringing out Fatal Fury as its latest Arcade Archives release.

Here’s an overview from the eShop listing:

“Fatal Fury is a fighting game released by SNK in 1991. Players take part in brutal street fights in a variety of locations, with the goal of toppling the infamous crime lord Geese Howard.

The game includes very unique features when compared to other fighting games available at the time, including a special Line Battle system that allows players to traverse between the foreground and background and 2-player co-op functionality.”

Yesterday, the European eShop listed Over Top for Switch. That Neo Geo title should be out on April 27.

Another Neo Geo game has been dated for Switch. Over on the European eShop, Over Top is listed for April 27. The Neo Geo titles tend to launch worldwide, so North America and Japan should be getting it on the same day.

Here’s an overview of Over Top:

Over Top is a racing game released by SNK in 1996. Players will participate in breathtaking races through urban areas, mountainous regions, and snowy roads. The courses also feature weather variants to add more variety to the game. In addition to the various vehicles with different performance factors which players can use, they can also enjoy the thrill of drifting their way through corners to clear courses.

The ACA NeoGeo series has faithfully reproduced many classic NeoGeo masterpieces. Players can change various game settings such as game difficulty and also reproduce the atmosphere of arcade display settings of 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.

ACA NeoGeo Over Top will cost $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.29.
