Console Archives: Oda Nobunaga Den Hits Switch 2 and PS5 on November 12
Hamster will release Console Archives: Oda Nobunaga Den on November 12, 2026 for 1200 yen (tax included). The reissue covers Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5, according to the announcement Hamster made on November 11. The original Oda Nobunaga Den shipped in 1998 from Koei, now Koei Tecmo Games, on 32-bit home consoles. It is a simulation RPG that follows the Sengoku warlord Oda Nobunaga through battles drawn from history: the Battle of Okehazama, the capture of Inabayama Castle, and the Battle of Nagashino. Players read the battlefield and issue orders to allied units. Strategy choices and battle results branch the story away from the historical record, and the game asks whether Nobunaga can survive the Honnoji Incident and end the Sengoku era. The cast totals 22 major characters, spanning the Oda clan, warlords from other provinces, and cultural figures.
