Arcade1Up, one of the forerunners of miniaturizing the classic arcade games of yesteryear will be rolling out with 3 new arcade cabinets for your home, business, and private use this fall: Killer Instinct, Tron, and Ridge Racer! These cabinets will be 75% smaller than the original arcade models that they are based on.
The Killer Instinct cabinet will come loaded with the arcade Killer Instinct, Killer Instinct 2, Battletoads (Arcade), and the Super NES version of Killer Instinct to round out the package.
The Tron cabinet will come loaded with the Tron game by Midway and Discs of Tron, an obscure and under-produced arcade curiosity “highly requested by retro game enthusiasts”.
The Ridge Racer cabinet will emulate Namco’s System 22 hardware and the glorious 3D polygonal graphics that it produced. It will be loaded with the original Ridge Racer (one of the earliest 3D driving games out there!), Rave Racer (the 3rd title in the Ridge Racer series), Ace Driver (a 1994 racing game by Namco), and Ace Driver: Victory Lap (the sequel to Ace Driver).
All 3 machines will support Wi-fi for online netplay.
Pre-orders are available now for the Tron cabinet (It retails at the MSRP of $699.99)! Prices and final release dates for the Killer Instinct and Ridge Racer cabinets are to be confirmed. If you’re interested, act soon as pre-orders are limited.
Which of these Arcade1up cabinets tickled your fancy? The Ridge Racer one has my attention, as Ace Driver has often been an overlooked game!
