Hyper Crash has been announced as this week’s release in Hamster Corporation’s Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2 lines of emulated coin-op titles for modern formats, following last week’s release of the maze game Lady Bug, on which we reported previously.
This week’s game, Hyper Crash, is a driving game that was originally released into arcades by Konami back in 1987.
Hamster Corporation describes the aim of Hyper Crash as follows: “race along courses with various landscapes and buildings from all over the world while avoiding obstacles like drums and oil as you aim for the goal across all 6 stages. Slam into enemy cars to make them crash! Or jump into the air and land on them to crush them down! In this survival race, anything goes!”
The Arcade Archives version of Hyper Crash will be released on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 tomorrow (July 9th 2026), priced at $7.99 USD or local equivalent.
Meanwhile, the Arcade Archives 2 version of the game, which adds a new Time Attack mode, will be released on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $9.99 USD or local equivalent.
As usual, purchasers of the Arcade Archives version of the game on Nintendo Switch or PlayStation 4 can upgrade to the Arcade Archives 2 version on Nintendo Switch 2 or PlayStation 5 respectively for $2.99 USD or local equivalent.
