While there’s no exact release date for the West just yet, hopefully, we’ll be getting an update soon. This third retro collection will once again feature “over seven classic Taito games” between the 1980s to early 1990s. Hamster Corp, the team behind Arcade Archives, is also helping out!

Looking forward to this upcoming release? Let us know in the comments.
