The Legend of Kage Returns to PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2

Hamster’s rerelease adds modern save and control tools to make the 1986 TAITO ninja action game easier to play.

Overview

  • Hamster published Console Archives: The Legend of Kage as a digital release for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 on Thursday, priced at $7.99 / 800 yen.
  • The release brings explicit quality-of-life features including customizable button layouts, rapid-fire settings, multiple save points, and a rewind option offered in the Console Archives series.
  • An official trailer from Hamster is available that highlights the game’s original action gameplay and the Console Archives menu for visual filters and screen layout choices.
  • The title began as a 1986 TAITO arcade and 8-bit home release and was later reissued on the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console, so this launch continues its long pattern of re-releases.
  • The game is digital-only and listings may vary by region, so players should check their local PlayStation Store or Nintendo eShop if the title does not appear immediately.
