Classic Konami Beat 'em Up Vendetta Now Available on PlayStation and Switch

Japanese publisher Hamster is best known for porting numerous classic arcade games to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch (plus some NeoGeo games on Xbox). The Arcade Archives series makes it possible to play dozens of games from yesteryear, many of which have never been released on consoles before. The latest Arcade Archives release is Konami's Vendetta, the sequel to Crime Fighters.

This is the perfect game that the evercade needs for its konami arcade collection vol 1.

I grabbed Raiden a couple of weeks ago. The third stage boss is kicking my ass.

[eastx]

Sweet! I need to pick that up as well.

[Knushwood Butt]

Recently they have been releasing one a week, but some of them are pretty obscure.

I think Raiden is the first Seibu Kaihatsu game they have released so far so I really hope there are more Seibu games on the way.

This game is so awesome! I'm definitely buying this one! I know I'm in the minority, but I really miss good beat 'em up games!

I wonder if the gay leather men that sexually assault you on the train are still in it, lol, pissed ourselves laughing as kids when it first happened while playing it in time zone.

Arcade Archives is pretty fantastic. I wish they’d release a physical collection of volumes.

[Knushwood Butt]

Yeah, that's an excellent idea.

Sometimes the odd one or two pop up in sales but a compilation would be great.

Wish developers would upgrade the graphics for ps5

Hope the do Rastan Saga soon.

[Einhander1971]

Amazing arcade sidescroller love it.

[VTKC]

Its pretty advanced for its time as you could still beat the enemies up while they are still on the floor.

[Knushwood Butt]

Probably advanced in some ways, but you could get on top of downed enemies and pummel them in Renegade from 1986.
