Taito’s Retro Arcade Fighter “Dino Rex” Lives Again on PS4, Nintendo Switch

“…and that’s where the attack comes… not from the front… from the sides.”

Publisher Hamster has announced that Dino Rex is now available on Nintendo Switch and PS4 as part of the digital Arcade Archives series.

Originally released in Japanese arcades by Taito in 1992, this is the first time that Dino Rex is seeing an official release in the West.

Players choose from six available dinosaurs and do battle to win the amazoness queen, and become the “Dino Rex” – king of all the land! In addition to your regular fighting prowess, you can also make use of various egg-shaped items and weapons to gain an edge over your opponents.

Like other Arcade Archives titles, players can post their high scores to the online leaderboards and change various game settings to match their own personal skill levels and taste.

Arcade Archives Dino Rex is available today for $7.99 via PSN and the Nintendo Switch eShop.
