On August 26, 2026, the company released the 1988 action game ‘Bubble Bobble’ for 800 yen. The launch included a special ‘Console Archiver’ live stream on YouTube featuring Taito representatives and developers.

On September 3, 2026, the corporation released the 1997 business simulation game ‘The Konbini 2: Zenkoku Chain Tenkai da!’ for 1,200 yen. Originally released by Human for 32-bit home consoles, this updated version features revamped graphics, an isometric viewpoint, and additional maps. Modern quality-of-life enhancements include a fast-forward mode, save states, customizable controls, and CRT TV filters. Players can also influence urban development by attracting facilities like schools or zoos to alter consumer demand. While the port includes features such as custom logo creation and the ability to add game software as in-game products, the in-game text remains exclusively in Japanese.
