Namco Racer Cyber Cycles to ride into Homes for First Time

Cyber Cycles has been announced at this week’s entry 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 V’Ball, on which we reported at the time.

This week’s release, Cyber Cycles, is a futuristic motorcycle racing game that was originally released into arcades by Namco back in 1995.

Hamster Corporation describes Cyber Cycles as follows: “This game featured a large bike-style cabinet design that stood out at arcades at the time.
Set against the backdrop of near-future motorcycle racing, choose from a lineup of unique machines with different performance features, and cross the finish line ahead of all your rivals!”

Despite being over 30 years old, these Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2 releases of Cyber Cycles will be the game’s first ever ports to home formats.

The one-player only Arcade Archives version of Cyber Cycles will be released on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 from tomorrow (August 20, 2026), priced at $14.99 USD, or local equivalent.

Meanwhile, the Arcade Archives 2 version of the game, which adds a new Time Attack mode and Variable Refresh Rate support that recreates the arcade experience more accurately, as well as multiplayer support for up to four players, will be released on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $16.99 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 at a later date, on Nintendo Switch 2 or PlayStation 5 respectively, for $2.99 USD or local equivalent.

My love of gaming began way back in 1986 with the ZX Spectrum, before becoming a lifelong Nintendo fan in 1990 with the Game Boy. And although I keep up with modern gaming, we all know you can't beat retro classics (or maybe I'm just old!) https://x.com/paultwist
