HAMSTER has announced that Console Archives Marl Jong will launch for PlayStation 5 and Switch 2 on October 29 2026.

 

Let’s play Marl Jong!! Collect them, form them, and be filled with smiles!

Marl Jong was released by Nippon Ichi Software in 2003 for a 32-bit home console.

This is a game in which you go on an adventure while competing in Marl Jong matches with the people of Marl Kingdom.

With simple controls, gameplay progresses smoothly! Furthermore, you can enjoy heated battles using character-specific “Special Moves” and comeback-enabling “Cheat Techniques.”

Unrevealed episodes of Marl that were not told in the main story will also be disclosed…

(The game includes only the Japanese version. Please note that all in-game text is in Japanese only.)

The Console Archives series is designed to bring classic games originally released on home consoles to modern gaming platforms.

In Console Archives series, features such as customizable button layouts, rapid-fire settings, multiple save points, and for some titles, a rewind function have been added, to support players in completing these classics.

Additional options include screen layout adjustments and filters that recreate the the nostalgic atmosphere of CRT TVs back in the day, allowing players to customize the visual experience to their preference.

Whether it’s a title you played long ago or one you’re experiencing for the first time, we hope you’ll find a favorite and enjoy the game your way.
