The Arcade1Up X-Men, Dragon’s Lair, Final Fight, and Legacy Arcade cabinets are in development. Although Arcade1Up has yet to confirm the price of its upcoming releases, nostalgia certainly seems to sell for a premium. It seems that 2021 will be just as exciting with this new wave of releases, even if similar cabinets from the same company run anywhere from $300 to $600. Even as the last arcade holdouts are shutting down around the world, Arcade1Up's products continue to keep their spirits alive. Last year was busy for Arcade1Up, with the release of NBA Jam, Marvel vs. The table features eight of Atari’s two- and four-player games, including Pong and its sequels as well as Tempest, Warlords, and Super Breakout. In addition to these arcade cabinets, Arcade1Up also announced its first pub-style game table at CES. Meanwhile, the Bandai Namco cabinet will feature several early Pac-Man titles as well as Galaga, Galaxian, the first two Dig Dug games, and more. Finally, the Capcom cabinet includes the original Street Fighter and the Street Fighter 2 sub-series, along with Darkstalkers, Final Fight, and Ghosts 'n Goblins, among others. These cabinets are modeled after the original arcade cabinet for a well-regarded game from each company: Atari’s 1981 shooter Tempest, Capcom’s Street Fighter 2 from 1987, and Bandai Namco’s legendary Pac Man from 1980.Īlong with Tempest, the Atari cabinet will include classics like Asteroids, Centipede, and Missile Command. Meanwhile, the Legacy Arcade Cabinets will each feature twelve games from Atari, Bandai Namco, and Capcom respectively. Lastly, the 3D fighting game Killer Instinct comes bundled with Killer Instinct 2 and Battletoads Arcade. The cabinet for Dragon’s Lair, Don Bluth’s infamously unforgiving arcade adventure game, includes Dragons Lair 2 and its spiritual successor Space Ace. The cabinet will also include two more Marvel beat ‘em ups: Captain America and The Avengers, and Avengers in Galactic Storm, the latter of which should be particularly exciting for collectors given the game’s rarity. The X-Men arcade cabinet features side-scrolling action for up to four players, just like the original 1992 release.

The line-up of upcoming cabinets announced at CES 2021 and listed on Arcade1Up's website include classics like X-Men, Dragon’s Lair, Killer Instinct, and more. For those wishing to recapture a little piece of the early 90s, Arcade1Up has announced its line of arcade cabinets will soon include X-Men. It's out there and doable, not saying it doesn't exist, but not on the margins A1U likes, so it would probably be a $600+ cab.Old-school arcades are mostly gone, but the arcade cabinet still holds a special place in the hearts of many. It would be expensive for A1U to find some kind of hardware solution that would emulate these games properly and fit within the standard "credit card sized PCB inside the back of the monitor" form factor they use with everything. reflashed the Compact Flash to make sure nothing was corrupted. Then replaced the U98 and screen was snowy with color bars. So here’s the process of what was done: - Board was shipped to me with the U98 places backwards. You need fairly powerful hardware, more powerful than a Raspberry Pi 4. Trying to get this Killer Instinct PCB running. This is the same reason we'll probably never see A1U put out any Nintendo games. I can't see them thinking this would be an okay business move. Still running the original hard drive, but its working great. Even if they just wanted to re-release the classic games on Xbox, they'd be potentially losing sales to people who already bought the A1U version. Nintendo Killer Instinct 2 in a Killer Instinct 1 Cabinet Game works well, and has a nice monitor. If Microsoft wanted to make their own KI hardware (arcade cabinet or not), they'd be closing that door for themselves by licensing the IP to A1U. That puts A1U roughly in the vicinity of the same space as them, making them a potential competitor. Sucks because there are 2 issues with KI: first is that the IP is owned by Microsoft, and Microsoft is a manufacturer of gaming hardware.
