Xevious 3D/G Is Finally Getting Its Original Arcade…

Hamster continues its increasingly heroic campaign to ensure no interesting arcade board is left mouldering in a warehouse. Xevious 3D/G, Namco's 1996 polygonal reworking of the classic vertical shooter, joins Arcade Archives 2 on September 24 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. Although Xevious 3D/G previously appeared as part of a PlayStation compilation, this release marks the first direct home conversion of the original arcade version. The game replaced Xevious' famous flat sprites with full 3D polygonal environments, shifting camera angles, additional weapons and new enemies while preserving the air-and-ground targeting concept that helped make the 1982 original enormously influential. Hamster's modern release includes its usual quality-of-life machinery, including configurable controls, save states and scoring modes, plus Time Attack and Variable Refresh Rate support on compatible hardware. It is also another example of Arcade Archives moving beyond the obvious 1980s classics and into the stranger transitional period when arcade companies were enthusiastically discovering polygons and occasionally using approximately six of them to construct an aircraft. Preservation is at its most useful when it rescues games people have actually forgotten, and Xevious 3D/G fits that mission beautifully.
