Control Your Way

The Coin Game supports mouse, keyboard, and double stick/pad controllers. The easy-to-use button mapping system ensures compatibility with almost all controllers, so you can play your way.

Arcade Throwback: Tokyo Wars on Consoles

Speaking of arcades, Hamster's Arcade Archive is bringing Namco's classic Tokyo Wars to Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Originally released in 1996, this battle tank game supports up to eight players.

Note that the standard version (Switch and PS4) is single-player only, while 4-player splitscreen is available on the Arcade Archives 2 releases (Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S).
