Arcade Archives Cameltry launches June 4

Hamster has set June 4 for the return of Cameltry, the 1990 Taito arcade game built around rotating a maze to guide a ball to the goal before time runs out. The company is releasing two versions at once: Arcade Archives 2 Cameltry for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and Arcade Archives Cameltry for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. Gematsu and VGChartz both reported the date on June 3, citing Hamster’s announcement. Hamster’s official Arcade Archives site also lists Cameltry in its upcoming lineup. ### Which platforms are getting which version? Arcade Archives 2 Cameltry is the version slated for Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, according to Gematsu’s report published June 3. The older-branded Arcade Archives Cameltry is the release for Switch and PS4. Hamster’s official Arcade Archives catalog reflects that split. On the series homepage, Cameltry appears with support listed for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and Xbox Series X|S, matching the platform breakdown carried by the news reports. (gematsu.com) ### What kind of game is Cameltry? Taito first released Cameltry in 1990, and Hamster describes it as an action game. GoNintendo’s write-up, based on Hamster’s announcement, said players rotate the maze to roll the ball and reach the goal before the timer reaches zero. (gematsu.com) Time Extension described Cameltry as a “quirky puzzler” in coverage published June 3, but the core mechanics are the same across reports: the player manipulates the stage rather than directly steering the ball. (arcadearchives.com) ### How much does it cost? Gematsu reported that Arcade Archives 2 Cameltry will cost $9.99, or 1,100 yen. (gonintendo.com) The standard Arcade Archives Cameltry release for PS4 and Switch will cost $7.99, or 837 yen, according to the same report. Time Extension separately matched those prices in its June 3 coverage. That report said the newer edition is priced above the legacy release, in line with Hamster’s two-tier branding across current and older console generations. (timeextension.com) ### What does the “Arcade Archives 2” label change? Hamster has not, in the sources reviewed here, published a fresh standalone feature list for Cameltry beyond the platform split and pricing. (gematsu.com) But Time Extension said the release will likely include the extras commonly associated with Hamster’s arcade reissues, such as added modes, online leaderboards and screen filters. That was the outlet’s characterization, not a quoted Hamster feature breakdown for this title. (timeextension.com) Hamster’s official Arcade Archives series page says ACA releases generally reproduce classic arcade titles, let players adjust difficulty and other settings, and support online score competition. The company presents those as standard features of the line rather than Cameltry-specific additions. ### Where does this fit in Hamster’s release schedule? Hamster’s official topics pages show a steady weekly cadence for Arcade Archives releases in recent weeks. (timeextension.com) The company posted “Arcade Archives ACE DRIVER” and “Arcade Archives 2 Tatakae! Big Fighter” on May 28, after “Arcade Archives TAG TEAM WRESTLING” on May 21 and “Arcade Archives Mr.Do!” on May 15. June 4 is the next date on that sequence for Cameltry.
