Hamster Corporation released Nippon Ichi Software’s Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure game for Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 on July 9 as part of its Console Archives Series.
NIS America published Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles, a collection of Rhapsody II: Ballad of the Little Princess and Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom, in English for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam in 2023.
The two bundled titles have a longer history in Japan. Rhapsody II: Ballad of the Little Princess (Little Princess: Marl Ōkoku no Ningyō Hime 2) originally launched for PlayStation in Japan in November 1999. Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom (Tenshi no Present: Marl Ōkoku Monogatari) debuted for PlayStation 2 in Japan in December 2000.
Hamster Corporation’s Console Archives Series brings older titles to modern platforms with new quality-of-life features. The company has previously released titles such as Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos and Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom, among others.
