《ACA NeoGeo 精選集 Vol. 5》（ACA NEOGEO Selection 5 / アケアカNEOGEO セレクション Vol.5）是由HAMSTER推出的NeoGeo經典街機遊戲合輯系列第五彈，延續該系列「忠實重現原作＋追加現代便利功能」的設計理念，將1990年代街機黃金時期的代表性作品再次帶回玩家眼前。於2025年正式登陸Nintendo Switch與PlayStation平台，並針對現代家用機硬體進行優化，使經典遊戲在高解析度螢幕與流暢輸入下依舊保有當年的手感與節奏。

收錄多款來自不同類型的NeoGeo經典，包括格鬥、射擊、動作與體育等領域的名作。無論是承襲熱血對戰的格鬥遊戲，還是充滿挑戰的橫向卷軸射擊，以及適合多人競技的運動遊戲，都完整保留原始街機版本的玩法與視覺風格。可以透過單機遊玩重溫當年的體驗，也能利用現代化的線上排行榜系統與全球玩家比拼高分，甚至透過遊戲內的「快進與倒帶功能」快速修正操作失誤，降低新手的上手門檻。

收錄的作品有10部，分別是: 拳皇 2002（THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2002）、龍虎之拳 2（ART OF FIGHTING 2）、Real Bout 餓狼傳說 （REALBOUT FATAL FURY）、閃亮小妖精（TWINKLE STAR SPRITES）、THRASH RALLY、BURNING FIGHT、痛快 GANGAN 行進曲（AGGRESSORS OF DARK KOMBAT)、音速戰機 2（AERO FIGHTERS 2）、得分王（SUPER SIDEKICKS）、CYBER-LIP

在操作層面，完整重現原始NeoGeo街機的按鍵配置，同時支援Joy-Con、Pro手把等多種控制器，並可自由自訂按鍵，滿足不同玩家的習慣。遊戲節奏依然保持當年街機特有的直接與緊湊感，每一場對戰或挑戰關卡都能在短時間內帶來極高的專注度與成就感。

雖然並非以故事情節為主，但由於收錄的每款作品都有其獨立的世界觀與角色設定，在遊戲過程中仍能感受到 90 年代街機特有的背景敘事魅力。例如格鬥作品中角色間的對話與必殺技演出，射擊遊戲的關卡場景與敵人設計，以及體育遊戲的場館氛圍與音效，都在無形中構築出濃厚的懷舊感。

在市場評價方面，受到資深街機迷的高度好評，玩家普遍讚賞HAMSTER對原作的高還原度，尤其在畫面像素精準還原、音效真實重現，以及額外的便利功能上取得平衡，既保留了經典的挑戰性，又兼顧現代玩家對流暢體驗的需求。部分評論認為，雖然收錄作品本身皆為老遊戲，但由於NeoGeo遊戲本就具有高重玩價值，加上線上功能的加入，讓這些經典在今日依然具有吸引力。

整體而言，《ACA NeoGeo 精選集 Vol. 5》不僅是懷舊向的合集，更是將街機文化傳承下去的作品，讓老玩家重拾當年的熱血，也讓新玩家有機會親身體驗90年代街機時代的獨特魅力。

ACA NeoGeo Selection Vol. 5 (アケアカNEOGEO セレクション Vol.5), released by HAMSTER, is the fifth installment in the NeoGeo classic arcade game compilation series. Staying true to the series’ design philosophy of “faithfully reproducing the original + adding modern convenience features,” it brings back iconic titles from the golden era of 1990s arcades. Officially launching on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation in 2025, the collection has been optimized for modern home console hardware, ensuring that the gameplay retains the authentic feel and rhythm of the originals while running smoothly on high-resolution displays with responsive controls.

The compilation includes 10 NeoGeo classics spanning multiple genres such as fighting, shooting, action, and sports. From adrenaline-pumping fighting games to challenging side-scrolling shooters and competitive sports titles, each game fully preserves the gameplay mechanics and visual style of its arcade counterpart. Players can relive the nostalgic single-player experience or make use of modern features such as online leaderboards to compete with players worldwide. Additionally, quality-of-life functions like “rewind” and “fast-forward” are available, allowing quick corrections of mistakes and lowering the barrier for newcomers.

The collection features 10 titles: The King of Fighters 2002, Art of Fighting 2, Real Bout Fatal Fury, Twinkle Star Sprites, Thrash Rally, Burning Fight, Aggressors of Dark Kombat, Aero Fighters 2, Super Sidekicks, and Cyber-Lip.

In terms of controls, the original NeoGeo arcade button layouts are faithfully recreated, with support for Joy-Con, Pro Controllers, and various other input methods. Players can also freely remap buttons to suit their preferences. The gameplay pacing maintains the arcade hallmark of being fast, direct, and intense, delivering a strong sense of focus and achievement in each match or stage.

Although not story-driven, each title retains its own unique setting and cast of characters, giving players a glimpse into the narrative charm characteristic of 1990s arcades. For example, fighting games feature character dialogues and flashy special moves, shooters highlight imaginative stages and enemy designs, while sports games capture the atmosphere of stadiums and matches through immersive visuals and sound.

In terms of reception, the collection has been highly praised by veteran arcade fans. Players particularly commend HAMSTER’s meticulous attention to authenticity—pixel-perfect graphics, faithfully recreated sound, and balanced convenience features. While the included titles are undeniably retro, the inherently high replay value of NeoGeo games, combined with added online functionality, ensures that these classics remain engaging even today.
