Video Hustler is this week’s Arcade Archives game on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch

Another Arcade Archives game is bound for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, with Hamster preparing Video Hustler. It’ll be out for both systems tomorrow, September 11.

Konami was behind the original release, which happened in 1981. This is a fairly straightforward take on pool.

Here’s an official overview:

Video Hustler is a sports game released by Konami in 1981. This game is a simplified version of pool (pocket billiards). You strike the white cue ball to roll it, hit six balls, and sink them into the pockets. The game’s most distinctive feature is that the score can vary greatly depending on the numbers on the balls and the different multipliers assigned to each pocket.

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.
