Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection (アーケードクラシックス アニバーサリーコレクション Ākēdo Kurashikkusu Anibāsarī Korekushon?) is a compilation package that includes eight selected classic titles from Konami's arcade history. It was released on April 18, 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch.
The product is part of Konami's "Anniversary Collection" series, celebrating the company's 50th anniversary, with the other two compilations being Castlevania Anniversary Collection and Contra Anniversary Collection.
Features
The collection provides several modern features and additional content for all games, including:
- Option to select from a number of display settings:
- Original
- Pixel perfect
- 16:9
- 4:3 scanlines
- Pixel perfect scanlines
- 16:9 scanlines
- Option of picking from different border frames to use during gameplay.
- Achievements/Trophies (except for Switch)
- Bonus e-book packed with new information about the titles, including interviews with the development staff, behind-the-scenes insights, and sketches and design documents never before revealed to the public.
Versions of the games included in the bundle are apparently regionalized, meaning each country will receive its own original specific version release (including censored, modified and/or cut down versions from the Japanese originals if applicable).
