Holy Shit a Sunset Riders re-release is this real life?

Haven't found any non-nintendo source so far but I would not bet they are Switch exclusive.

edit:

Switch and PS4 - Sunset Riders and Trigon
Switch - Gradius

OH MY GOD! SUNSET RIDERS!!!!!!!!

Edit: I've been dreaming of a Sunset Riders re-release for so long.
I've been feeling down because of this virus situation, and these news made me jump in joy!

Thanks OP, and thanks Konami and Hamster.

Finally! With a lot of other Konami content already on AA, I figured it was just a matter of them getting far enough through the lineup. Gonna be fun to play Sunset Riders again.

FUCK YES

Sunset Riders and Lightning Fighters are great gets. More late 80s / early 90s Konami goodness is exactly what I want from ACA.

I even bought that shitty Johnny Arcade cowboy game thinking it would be the closest we could actually get to Sunset Riders!

I'm excited for Sunset Riders. Not too excited to be reacquainted with Chief Scalp'em but I'm still excited.

Looking at the Konami boards these games run on there's a bunch more stuff I hope to see:
  • Block Hole (Quartet)
  • Contra
  • Flack Attack (A Jax)
  • Gradius III
  • Parodius
  • Super Contra
  • Thunder Cross
  • Thunder Cross II
  • Vic Viper (Gradius II)
And stuff I'd kill to see but is definitely out due to licensing (Konami X Hamster should do another Arcade Classics Collection maybe):
  • Aliens
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time

Wow that's wild. I guess since they've got SEGA into the Arcade system already it's just gonna be easy to ask for other Genesis titles then.

Flak Attack's already confirmed and I'm sure the other games that are already in the Konami arcade bundle will show up individually before too long.

Rather than another Hamster collaboration, I'd prefer a straight TMNT collection--they put out something like 14 TMNT games in the '90s and none of them would be technically difficult to put out again (aside from that one computer game, I guess).

Not the Genesis version, the superior arcade version.

As someone who owns the actual arcade PCB, I'm really happy. It would make it a lot easier to possibly part ways with the cabinet, since it's too unwieldy. Also, I'm expecting that this version will have four player support, I don't have that in my cab.

Contra Arcade and Super Contra Arcade are already on the recent Contra Classics Collection, on all consoles.
Most of those shooters are also on the Konami Arcade Anniversary Collection.

This game was made by Konami, not Sega.
This arcade version is much better than the MegaDrive and SNES versions. It supports 4-player co-op, for starters.

Isn't Gradius already included with the NES games? What would be the benefit of buying the Arcade Archives version?

Sunset Rider is one of the rare SNES games I tried only last decade, but found to be really good. Great that these series is covering up for the lack of virtual console games.

Mystic Warriors next.

People need to appreciate the greatest hero that Konami has ever given us, Brad.

HOLY FUCKING MEGATON

how did I miss this? I'm legit smiling at the screen :'-)


Can't fucking wait for Vendetta/Crime Fighters 2.

Let's hope TAITO also starts giving more titles to pick from to Hamster, looking forward to Liquid Kids and other gems unlikely to get in collections... too bad they relegated og arcade Bubble Bobble to BB 4 Friends.

Also, PLEASE, PLEASE, ESCAPE/SEGA unchain WONDER BOY from its 4y old JPN-PS4's exclusive state.
