Arcade Archives 2 Releases Original 1994 Tekken on PS5, Xbox Series and Switch 2

Packed with save states, rewind, VRR and a new Time Attack mode, the release points to more Namco System 11 reissues.

Overview

  • Hamster Corporation released Arcade Archives 2: Tekken for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Switch 2 on Thursday for $16.99 as a digital download on each platform’s store.
  • The port uses the original 1994 arcade ROM and adds modern conveniences such as multiple save files, button remapping, rapid-fire options and a rewind function to ease play for new audiences.
  • Arcade Archives 2 adds a Time Attack mode and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support to better match the original arcade timing and display behavior.
  • This iteration omits Arcade Archives’ online Network Mode and offers only local two‑player versus matches, limiting multiplayer to in-person play.
  • Hamster positioned Tekken as the first Namco System 11 title in the Arcade Archives 2 line, which required current‑gen hardware to accurately emulate System 11 and could enable future reissues like Tekken 2.
