Natsume’s Wild Guns was recently added to the Nintendo Switch Online catalog of SNES games, but did you know that there’s another legendary adventure set in the same time period that was also released on Nintendo’s classic 16-bit console? That game was Konami’s Sunset Riders! Saddle up, cowboys (and girls) because the game is joining Hamster’s Arcade Archives lineup this week.

The catch? It’s only been announced for Japan, so far. There’s no guarantee that it’ll be in the European or North American eShops tomorrow as of this writing. However, that doesn’t mean it won’t be: historically, the Arcade Archives lineup in Japan has pretty solid parity with those other two regions, so hopefully official word will come soon. If you have to play it now, it’s always possible to set up a Japanese Nintendo eShop account, so you can get to downloading Sunset Riders right now if you so choose.
