A classic 1989 action fighting game is set to make its debut on modern consoles thanks to one of Arcade Archives’ latest projects.
Arcade Archives is bringing back another classic Sega Genesis-era arcade title with the new release of Street Smart. The SNK game from 1989 is making its way to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles this week.
“In an era where a man’s true worth was measured solely by his strength, a lone karate master and a professional wrestler travel across America to prove who is the ultimate street brawler.
After teaming up in 2-player co-op, you’ll face off in a 1P vs. 2P showdown! Victory earns you the blessings of the GALS!”
The Arcade Archives 1 version of the game will cost players $7.99 and the Arcade Archives 2 version raises the price to $9.99 and includes a few more enhancements and new features. Shoppers who own the first version on PS4 and want to upgrade to the Arcade Archives 2 version for PS5 will have an option to do so for $2.99.
In Original Mode, players will find a variety of convenient features that make revisiting these classic titles even more enjoyable.
Arcade Archives 1 version:
- Difficulty and display settings
- Button remapping
- Rapid-fire options
- The ability to create multiple save files at any time

Arcade Archives 2 series introduces a brand-new mode called Time Attack Mode, in addition to the Original Mode, Hi Score Mode, and Caravan Mode from Arcade Archives.
Arcade Archives 2 version:
- Time Attack Mode focuses on how quickly you can complete the game, regardless of the score you achieve.
