The first sequel to Mappy, and I must say, trying it out for the first time in emulation all those years ago, I love it almost as much as the original Mappy.
I'm so glad this game is ported to Arcade Archives on the Switch and PS4/5, along with the original Mappy :) I love the Mappy series. Hopefully one day, Namco and HAMSTER will also port Mappy Arrangement in Arcade Archives.
@@glitchedblood Which is the unfortunate part. Hopping Mappy should've been ported on Wii Virtual Console worldwide instead of just Japan. Fortunately, Arcade Archives fix that.
How come Dig Dug's sequel get to release in the U.S while Hopping Mappy just stayed in Japan? Hopping Mappy is sooo much better than Dig Dug 2. Dig Dug 2 is quite frustrating and not even quite as good as the original Dig Dug, while Hopping Mappy on the other hand is a really great and addicting game, heck, I'll say it's almost at the same level as amazing as the original Mappy. As a matter of fact, I find the Mappy series so much better than the Dig Dug series anyway. It boggles my mind that Mappy's popularity is down to obscurity, while Dig Dug gets all the fame alongside with Pacman. Mappy deserves to be as popular as Dig Dug, Galaga, and Pacman. This shows how cruel this world can be. As a huge Mappy fan, I could never understand why the Mappy series doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
I like Mappy too the problem is that Mappy didn't do well in America but in Japan Mappy was a success and popular which spawned 2 games only for Japan Mappy Land and this game Hopping Mappy
@@ethanc.8683 Cool to know you also enjoy Mappy too :) Yeah that's true, Mappy not being successful internationally hurt Mappy a lot. Which is what didn't happen to Galaga, Dig Dug, and of course Pacman. That's why I find this so frustrating, because the Mappy series is legit a really great series. All the Mappy games are really fun, great, and addictive. Since Mappy only found success in Japan, it seems that Namco has no faith in this series to continue and stop at Mappy Arrangement, which is a shame because the Mappy series has lot of potential to grow in a modern gaming age in the same way like Pacman, Mario, and Sonic, but Namco didn't give Mappy a chance. On the bright side though, Mappy is getting more of a cult following these days, there's hope for Namco reviving the Mappy series in a surprise fashion, and all the Mappy games being ported to modern consoles one day. Hopefully, that'll happen.
@@ethanc.8683 Yep, and it's unfortunately only released on a Arcade compilation called Namco Classic Collection Vol.1, not on any Namco Museum compilations on consoles. Have you played it yourself ? :)
I bought it :) It's really fun. Glad this got ported to Arcade Archives along with the original Mappy. Now when it comes to Mappy Arcade titles, all we need now is Mappy Arrangement to be ported to Arcade Archives.
Hopping Mappy should've at-least be included in Namco Museum Vol.3 for PS1. Heck, even NM vol.3 is aware of its existence and does include Mappy hanging around the museum as if Hopping Mappy is originally intended to be in this specific compilation. I mean it makes sense, the original Mappy is included in Namco Museum Vol.2, Hopping Mappy being included in Vol.3 would be the next logical step, but that's my theory though. What's even more frustrating is that Hopping Mappy was re-released only in Japan on the Wii's Virtual Console, not internationally :(
@@zimphanybanales768 I love that Hopping Mappy is finally included in Arcade Machine Namco compilation. The thing is I don't know what Arcade has Pacman Pixel Bash so I can play it. And while I did find Pacman Arcade Party, Hopping Mappy is unfortunately not included. But it did include the original Mappy, which no doubt I have a really great time playing Mappy on Pacman Arcade Party.
@@retrofan4963 Pac Man's Pixel Bash is included in very limited spaces such as Dave n Buster's inlcuding Arcade Party but its not on every one but they are less rare when it comes to Arcades (obviously) or you can just buy it, which is probably the last choice to do idk
I wish they made mappy the animated series, i want Tate Donovan to voice the mappy, Susan Egan as mapico mappy's girlfriend/wife, Tara Strong as mappy Jr mappy and mapico's son/various mewskies, and james woods as nyamco
To me, they're both really great games. Hopping Mappy is going more with a different gameplay style and mechanics while retaining the same basic concept and rules of the original Mappy. Mappy-Land on the other hand focus more of expanding the Gameplay style and mechanics of the original Mappy, while adding its own twist of it. I feel Hopping Mappy is to Super Mario Bros 2 USA, while Mappy-Land is to Super Mario Bros 3.
Mappy: I gotta say, Goro. These pogo-sticks are pretty awesome! Goro: Thanks, Mappy! Bought these on Amazon for free. Meowkie 1: *bouncing on a pogo-stick* Yahoo!! Meowkie 2: *bouncing on a pogo-stick* This is awesome!! Meowkie 3: *bouncing on a pogo-stick* Come on, Mappy! Get on your pogo-stick! Mappy: This'll be awesome.
@@parmesanballz4631 Yeah, I'm really happy knowing it'll finally release internationally in Arcade Archives :) Thank you for letting me know! It's a really great news! I'm definately going to get it tomorrow :)

this game looks like the mappy game you'd play when playing in a fever dream
The first sequel to Mappy, and I must say, trying it out for the first time in emulation all those years ago, I love it almost as much as the original Mappy.
Same here :) While the original Mappy is better, Hopping Mappy is still a really great and addicting game.
The bonus theme sounds like a cross between "Crocodile Rock" and "Please Mr. Postman."
Literally have never seen this in my life and hearing the music is extremely trippy!
I’ve known mappy since I was 5 and for the first time I just discovered Hopping Mappy existed
Man this is surprisingly interesting
ゲーセンに置いてなかったのでこの動画はありがたかった！
The animation is so smooth
I'm so glad this game is ported to Arcade Archives on the Switch and PS4/5, along with the original Mappy :) I love the Mappy series. Hopefully one day, Namco and HAMSTER will also port Mappy Arrangement in Arcade Archives.
I mean true since Pac-Man, Galaga & Dig Dug (Arrangement versions) has been ported for the GameCube, XBox & PS2 (Namco Museum)
すごい・・・すごすぎる。
このゲームはマイナーだったけど、曲(メリーゴーラウンド)はいいねえ。
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PLAYING!
Wow, I had no idea this existed until now when I noticed they added a theme of this game to Pac-Man 99. I'm gonna give this a try right away
Hopping Mappy will be ported in Arcade Archives on the Switch and PS4/5 tomorrow :)
@@retrofan4963 Is there a release schedule for Arcade Archives?

こんなマッピーのゲームあったんだね😮知らなかった‼️
They Should Had Released This In The United States After Japan's Release In March Of 1986.
Yeah they should, it's a really great game.
this game looks really underrated, I found this through Pac-Man 99 as DLC this week; it's free
Hopping Mappy will be ported to Arcade Archives tomorrow :)
What do the M-A-P-P-Y letters do in round three? You don't get any points for collecting them.
You recieve an extra life for collecting the letters.
(sorry for a late reply)
I didn’t know this existed, nor did I know that there is a finite amount of levels in this game

@@retrofan4963 Your kidding I never even heard of those arcade games don't tell me that Galaga and Dig Dug have arrangement versions
Hopping Mappy is out now on Arcade Archives (including PS5 BC ready), jump out of pogos on Nyamko & Goro.
I bought it :) It's really fun. Glad this got ported to Arcade Archives along with the original Mappy. Now when it comes to Mappy Arcade titles, all we need now is Mappy Arrangement to be ported to Arcade Archives.
What a great record
The theme song is so catchy!!!
ボーナスステージの曲は脳みそ溶けます。あ、パチスロマッピーの話です。
わかる！
聞き入ってしまいますよね✨
面白い作りだけどこれじゃ目が疲れるでしょう。
That’s pretty sad. You don’t have a lot of videos, Japanese man. Get some more videos.
This game is coming to Arcade Archives so I'll be able to play it on my Switch
Wonder why Hopping Mappy was never included in any Namco Classic game compilations.
Luis Reyes Not as popular as the original Mappy.

It was included in Pac Man's Pixel Bash or Pac Man's Arcade Party
And it was licensed

What's next? Rocket Mappy or even- *gasp* MOBILE SUIT MAPPY?!
I hope there is another police themed video game like MAPPY someday maybe made by SNK about a K-9 police attack dog.
So like the original you need to collect all the loot to complete the level.
Hopping Mappy is an awesome game! Wish i can play on PS3 RETROARCH.
Fortunately it is ported in Arcade Archives for PS4/PS5 and Switch :)
I wish they made mappy the animated series, i want Tate Donovan to voice the mappy, Susan Egan as mapico mappy's girlfriend/wife, Tara Strong as mappy Jr mappy and mapico's son/various mewskies, and james woods as nyamco

Seems way better than Mappyland
To me, they're both really great games. Hopping Mappy is going more with a different gameplay style and mechanics while retaining the same basic concept and rules of the original Mappy. Mappy-Land on the other hand focus more of expanding the Gameplay style and mechanics of the original Mappy, while adding its own twist of it. I feel Hopping Mappy is to Super Mario Bros 2 USA, while Mappy-Land is to Super Mario Bros 3.
it's fucked up how the pink cats are smaller than mappy
The pink cats(Meowkies) are really deadly though. Mappy gets defeated when a Meowky get ahold of him.
Mappy: I gotta say, Goro. These pogo-sticks are pretty awesome!
Goro: Thanks, Mappy! Bought these on Amazon for free.
Meowkie 1: *bouncing on a pogo-stick* Yahoo!!

昔小学生の時にケータイでやってたわ～

It's actually great and really fun in my opinion :) Such a shame it's Japan exclusive though.
