'''''Arcade Archives''''' is a line of downloadable [[Reissue|re-releases]] of arcade games by [[HAMSTER Corporation]], a company specializing in low-budget ports of arcade games to consoles. The line started on the {{wp|PlayStation 4}} in May 2014 and was introduced on [[Nintendo]] systems with the launch of the [[Nintendo Switch]], initially focusing on {{wp|SNK}}'s {{wp|Neo Geo}} system before expanding to other arcade titles, including [[Nintendo]]'s own arcade games.  
''Arcade Archives'' releases are almost always straightforward emulations of games that do not include new content or any changes or additions to the game's original version. All ''Arcade Archives'' titles include adjustable controls, access to the DIP settings to modify gameplay parameters, suspension saves, online leaderboards, three display settings (raw pixels, blurred or blur + scanlines), and Caravan and Hi-Score modes.

''Arcade Archives'' releases may also include different variants (regional or otherwise) of the game when there are notable differences. ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'' are the only ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-related releases to support this feature, allowing players to choose between the original Japanese release, the later Japanese release (only for ''Donkey Kong''), or the international version. For ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[VS. Pinball]]'', and ''[[VS. Wrecking Crew]]'', only the Japanese version is provided. For ''[[Stroke & Match Golf|VS. Golf]]'', only the international version can be played. Only one version of ''[[VS. Super Mario Bros.]]'' exists as it was not released in Japan.
