Japanese publisher Hamster Corporation owns the rights to its intellectual property after purchasing it since it went defunct.[1] In 2017, several NMK games began appearing on their Arcade Archives series of re-releases, beginning with Zed Blade. From 2021 onwards, other titles from the company, such as Thunder Dragon, Saboten Bombers, Hacha Mecha Fighter, Gunnail, Thunder Dragon 2 and Bomb Jack Twin started appearing afterwards.
