Namco Museum brings a bunch of 80s arcade classics to the Nintendo Switch this summer
|

Nintendo will be bringing a selection of Namco classics to the Switch pretty soon in the form of Namco Museum. Sorry it isn't Virtual Console news, but at least it's kinda fun.

If you weren't an 80s child, Namco Museum should at least give you a taste of what gaming was like. You'll recognise the name of a few titles, no doubt, but some others may surprise you.

I'm sure it's not an exhausted list, but expect to see:

  • Pac-Man

  • Galaga

  • Galaga '88

  • Dig Dug

  • The Tower of Druaga

  • SkyKid

  • Splatterhouse

  • Rolling Thunder

  • Rolling Thunder 2

  • Tank Force

Coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch sometime this summer, you'll also be able to rotate your screen (to really get that arcade experience) and keep up with everyone else's scores online.
