Console Archives: The Conveni 2 Coming to PS5 and Switch 2

The 1997 convenience-store sim is being reworked to include save states, CRT-style display filters, double-speed mode and other modern conveniences.

Overview

  • Hamster announced Wednesday that Console Archives The Conveni 2 will launch on September 3 for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 at $11.99 (1,200 yen).
  • The port revamps the original 1997 visuals, adds more maps and shifts the camera to an isometric viewpoint to increase the game’s sense of scale.
  • New gameplay functions include a double-speed mode and a tool to create original store markers that change how players design and run in-game shops.
  • All in-game text ships in Japanese only, which limits access for non-Japanese speakers and may affect the game’s listing or availability on some international digital storefronts.
  • The release continues Hamster’s Console Archives program of modern ports for niche 1990s home-console titles, following an earlier Conveni re-release this year and arriving alongside at least one outlet’s incorrect report that listed the PS4 as a platform.
