I'm glad that Tinkle Pit arrived to the Arcade Archives on Switch. Now I hope that Parodius Da or Twinbee Yahho can come to the Arcade Archives as well.

[@beauwalker9820]

Agreed, the game I want most is Popeye, but unlikely as Arcade Archives doesn't do licensed games.

[@mastersproutgamer9327]

Let's wait till another week or so when Hamster makes an announcement on Konami games.

I've never seen this in my life, but i find myself wanting to buy everything i see. 😂

[@Gigantemanatee]

😅 join the club… I feel like I’ve been hypnotised. At £6 a pop it starts to add up.

Honestly I Would Love To See Namco Classic Collection Vol.1 And Vol.2 To Be In Arcade Archives Too

Originally released in March of 1994 (despite the in-game copyright of 1993) and running on the Namco NA-1 Hardware, Tinkle Pit is a maze style game which had been made as an homage to Namco's legacy which was fitting as Namco was celebrating its 40th anniversary. The player assumes the roles of Pitt and Patti, who must walk around the mazes, collecting items and avoiding enemies. They have the power to drop their Tinker power balls, which are both invulnerable to the enemies, and move around by pressing the Line button, therefore creating a line between them and their power balls. Releasing the button makes their power balls come back to them; the enemies are killed by having the power balls slam into them. There are also pieces of popcorn which can be picked up around the mazes - and pressing the Popcorn button, Pitt and Patti can throw them at the enemies, and they shall bounce off the walls until they hit one (or evaporate if they have not done so by the end of the stage). As mentioned before, Tinkle Pit pays homage to Namco's legacy and it definitely shows it by featuring cameo appearances by characters from classic Namco franchises such as Pac-Man, Galaxian, Mappy and contemporary games such as Rolling Thunder 2, Bravoman and Numan Athletics.

Very glad I picked up the game and really enjoyed it. I can play it for hours on end.

[@mastersproutgamer9327]

It's official, folks! Tinkle Pit has finally deserved an Arcade Archives treatment! Let's go, baby!

[@rorz999]

Good maybe you will stop spamming the comments of every video now

[@TheZotmeister]

I've actually been anticipating this one. Namco's love letter to itself, this is actually a really-well designed game, with a variety of strategies available - not too hard to just play through, but a good challenge to score well while doing so. But yeah, you do have to get past that name XD

[@jeffrey5976]

You gonna stream this on twitch, zot?

[@illustreightr2630]

It’s like Mr Do with a ball that looks like Butters from South Park. 👍🏻

[@Kourumeme]

Butters dad: you’re grounded

[@john.infinite78]

Yeah I think that also came out to Game boy. 👍 (Mr.Do)

[@mastersproutgamer9327]

I hope Bandai Namco doesn't get sued by Paramount.

[@MylstarElectronics]

Namco Crossover!!

[@retroghostx3788]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG!!! THANK YOU HAMSTER!!!

[@mastersproutgamer9327]

Same here, dude.

[@mastersproutgamer9327]

Now can you do Dirt Fox next?

[@redbutterflyprincessgeanne4620]

I got it, today.

[@EightOne01]

Thanks Bamco. Now please release _The Outfoxies_ and/or _Nebulas Ray_ .

[@mastersproutgamer9327]

Not Bamco, Namco!

[@EightOne01]

It's Bandai Namco, sometimes nicknamed Bana, or even Bamco.

[@mastersproutgamer9327]

@@EightOne01 Or maybe... Bandamco.

[@SkyknightMu]

I expect NebulasRay first, as it uses the slightly older hardware (NB-1 vs. Outfoxies's NB-2). I fully expect renewed commentary about possible influence on Smash Bros. (and post-2005 Suda Goichi) when Outfoxies comes out.

[@mastersproutgamer9327]

Or do Dirt Fox (System 2 game), next.

[@redbutterflyprincessgeanne4620]

Oh okay.

[@solvalinky]

thank you hamster oh my god thank you

[@zorro727]

When Arcade Archives games available on Steam???

[@john.infinite78]

Fun colorful sound and music is cheering. Had I seen this back in the day I'd have liked it.👍
