Arcade 1Up – known for recreating classic arcade cabinet titles as well The deadly beating and Jam NBA – unveiled a cabinet for the launch of Rare in 1994, Killer Instinct. This is the same game that was ported to Super Nintendo a year later – although there are notable differences between the two versions.
This cabinet also includes a number of other rare games. There is a continuation from 1996 Killer Instinct 2, Battletoads (arcade version) and Battletoads & Double Dragon (1993).
“Killer Instinct ™. Fans loved it, critics loved it. For many retrogamer enthusiasts it is a definitive title from the mid-90s, with gameplay, soundtrack and 3D graphics, all revered. Relive the era video game with this stop the you-in-your-tracks arcade closet, which also includes Killer Instinct 2 ™, Battletoads ™ (yes, the arcade version!) and Battletoads ™ / Double Dragon ™ as a bonus game. “
The cabinet itself can support up to two players, includes a “live wifi feature” – allowing you to take on opponents online and can be raised in height.
“Do you have to add a certain height to this closet? No problem, the included assembly device helps you get there. Do you want to fight remotely? The Live WiFi feature allows you to take opponents anywhere, playing from your own office.”
There is no word yet on a release date, and the design or artwork on the closet is not yet final. What do you think? Is this the arcade closet you’ve been waiting for? Leave a comment below.
