Hamster Brings Ishin no Arashi to Switch 2 and PS5 in Console Archives Release

The launch preserves a once Japan-only strategy title with save states and control tweaks.

Overview

  • Hamster’s Console Archives version, which went live Thursday, puts Ishin no Arashi on Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5.
  • The digital release costs $7.99 on both consoles.
  • The game’s content remains in Japanese, though the user interface and the manual are available in English.
  • Console Archives adds modern perks such as save and load at any point, customizable button layouts, and screen options that mimic older TVs.
  • First released on consoles in 1990 and later brought to PC on Steam in 2017, this reissue gives today’s players easier access to Koei’s Bakumatsu-era political strategy game built around debate rather than action.
