Arcade 1Up is looking to expand your arcade collection with three more cabinets.

First up, we have another Street Fighter II cabinet in the Street Fighter II Big Blue Arcade Machine. The style mimics the Street Fighter II Championship Edition cabinet and will feature 12 games! That's a lot and it will also house a lit marquee and a light up deck protector. It's a tall machine coming in at 67.5" making it their tallest cabinet. The 12 games are as follows:

  • Street Fighter II: Championship Edition
  • Street Fighter II’ Hyper Fighting
  • Super Street Fighter II Turbo
  • Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
  • Darkstalkers
  • Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge
  • Darkstalkers 3
  • Saturday Night Slam Masters
  • Knights of the Round
  • Eco Fighters
  • Capcom Sports Club
  • Muscle Bomber Duo

July 1st is when you can pre-order the Street Fighter II Big Blue cabinet.

Their second cabinet today is the iconic Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga Class of '81 machine. It's a combo of Ms. Pac-Man on one half and Galaga on the other, both really great classic games. As with the Street Fighter II Big Blue cabinet, this one also has a light up marquee and a light up deck protector. There's actually a good variety of games included in the 12 that will be on this box. They are:

  • MS. PAC-MAN
  • GALAGA
  • GALAGA ‘88
  • GALAXIAN
  • DIG DUG
  • DIG DUG II
  • MAPPY
  • RALLY-X
  • ROLLING THUNDER
  • ROMPERS
  • TOWER OF DRUAGA
  • KING AND BALLOON

Pre-orders for this one start in August.

Finally, we have Turtles in Time Home Arcade Machine, a replica of the sequel to one of the most popular 4 player co-op games out there. This one features 4 player controls and the light up marquee as well as the light up deck protector.  This release only has two games though: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Turtles in Time matching the Simpsons as just having an additional game included with the feature game.

For Turtles in Time, you can pre-order beginning July 1st.

All of the cabinets today will come with a matching riser and feature Wi-Fi connectivity to let you play with others online. Including the Simpsons arcade unit announced a few days ago, Arcade 1Up is certainly moving along in producing new cabinets for collectors to purchase and expand their home arcade.
