Nintendo Dream recently conducted and interview with Hamster CEO Satoshi Hamada about their work on bringing Arcade Archives: Mario Bros. to the Switch. You can see some snippets from that interview below, as translated by NintendoEverything.
- this marks the first time arcade titles from Nintendo have been completely ported
- Hamada himself actually gave the proposal to Nintendo
- the two had been already in talks before the Switch was formally announced
- both sides wanted to release past arcade games Nintendo had created
- Mario Bros. was decided for porting when Hamada and Nintendo discussed which game would have the best impact
- development was mainly done by Hamster, while Nintendo acted as the supervisor
- Hamster had to check the game thoroughly before sending it to Nintendo
- debugging included people who worked on the original arcade version
- Hamada wants to set a pace of one Nintendo arcade game per three or four months
- the pace of releases is due to the time and care both Hamster and Nintendo put into these projects
