Hamster Corporation has published Arcade Archives The Newzealand Story, now available for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch consoles.

Taito's sprite-based platformer Newzealand Story first arrived in arcades in 1988. The developer's love letter to New Zealand stars Tiki the kiwi and involves guiding the bird protagonist through a variety of perilous mazes, often riding balloons and dirigibles, to rescue caged friends.

In 1991, Software Creations in Manchester, England localized a home console port for the Nintendo Entertainment System, retitled "Kiwi Kraze" in North America. The NES port features chip music arrangements by Tim Follin and Geoff Follin.

Published by Taito sound team Zuntata, The Newzealand Story Original Soundtrack is available for streaming on Amazon Music Unlimited, Spotify, and YouTube Music. Music for the game is by Yasuko Yamada, Hisayoshi Ogura, and Yasuhisa Watanabe.
