**Miniature Arcades Are Now Available**
Game enthusiasts rejoice! Miniature arcades are now available for pre-order, and they're incredibly affordable at just $2.99. These 3/4 scale replicas of classic arcade cabinets are perfect for anyone who wants to own a piece of gaming history without breaking the bank. The miniature arcades are designed to be assembled from the ground up, with each one measuring 45.8 inches high, 23 inches deep, and 19 inches wide.
**Assembly and Riser Options**
The miniarcade kits come with instructions on how to assemble them, and they're relatively easy to build using basic tools. However, if you want to create a more authentic experience, you can purchase a riser that adds an extra foot-and-a-half to the bottom of the cabinet. This riser provides real arcade-style controls for gameplay, making it feel like you're playing in a real arcade. The weight of the miniature arcades is approximately 63 pounds, which may require some careful handling.
**Cabinet Designs and Game Selection**
The miniature arcades come in various designs, each with its own unique artwork and game selection. For example, one version features asteroids, tempest, Major Havoc, and Lunar Lander, while another has Street Fighter II, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo: The New Challengers Edition. There's also a Centipede cabinet with Crystal Castles, Missile Command, and Millipede, which boasts a beautiful trackball built-in along with action buttons.
**Final Fight and Other Games**
The Final Fight miniature arcade features Ghosts 'n Goblins, 1944, and Strider, making it an attractive option for fans of these classic games. The selection of games is impressive, and the manufacturer plans to add more titles in the future, potentially allowing players to customize their own miniarcade experience.
**Technical Details**
While the exact hardware used in the miniature arcades remains a mystery, the manufacturer has hinted that it might use an Android or Linux-based system with an Allwinner CPU. This would allow for a relatively cheap and efficient build process. The assembly video provided on the manufacturer's website will help guide users through the process.
**Availability and Pricing**
Pre-orders are now available on Walmart.com, GameStop, and Walmart Canada, with shipping expected to begin on September 27th. While $2.99 may seem like a bargain, keep in mind that these miniature arcades require assembly and some basic tools to build.
**Conclusion**
For fans of classic arcade games, the miniature arcades offer an exciting alternative to traditional full-size cabinets or home console systems. With their affordable pricing, impressive designs, and potential for customization, they're sure to delight gamers of all ages. Whether you choose to assemble one yourself using a Raspberry Pi or purchase a pre-assembled kit, these miniature arcades are a great way to own a piece of gaming history without breaking the bank.

different ones here we're gonna go down a little bit they're not full size they're 3/4 scale you will have to assemble them when you get them 45.8 inches high 23 inches deep 19 inches wide approximately 63 pounds and you can also buy a riser to make them kind of a full size it just adds an extra footer foot-and-a-half to the bottom of the cabinet itself that's all those little risers are gonna do real arcade style controls for game play I'm not sure how they're gonna work out I'm not sure if they use really cheap parts or nice parts I haven't had my hands on them yet beautiful cabinet designs the cabinet's might not be shaped exactly like the original cabinet was but the artwork is pretty dang close v available we're gonna go over those real quick first up we have the asteroids tempest major havoc and lunar lander version you take a look at the front of that cabinet there is no joystick it does have the potentiometer wheel to play these games with pretty cool little setup next up we have the street fighter edition this is the one I ordered Street Fighter 2 Super Street Fighter 2 turbo and Super Street Fighter 2 turbo the new challengers I know that they're pretty much the same game with a couple of avid characters and stages but I absolutely love Street Fighter and to see something like this brought me back I used to dump so many quarters in the Street Fighter 2 this is a three-player cap rampage gauntlet jail stand defender if my wife will allow me I want to get this one also I love rampage gauntlet cows and defender and to have the three player set up it's pretty awesome next on the list the centipede cabinet with Crystal Castles Missile Command and millipede this does have a trackball built-in along with your action buttons centipede artwork on the side looks beautiful this would be a great addition to somebody's collection now you got to remember they're not full size they're 3/4 scale so they're gonna kind of be small I have seen a few videos of these it's really hard to judge the scale by a video but as soon as I get one I'll definitely show it off and finally the final fight version so we have final fight ghosts and goblins 1944 and Strider I want every single one of these like I would love to get each one of these put them in my office side-by-side and just have a line of miniature cabinets I think that would be amazing and who knows if I could talk my wife into this before they release I might be able to do it it's gonna be a bit expensive but I've spent more on other crap they also have an assembly video I'm not sure what kind of hardware they're using but it's probably going to be maybe an Android or Linux based system running an all winner CPU they're very cheap they can cut cost using that and it's gonna work fine for the games provided there is a possibility we could add more games to these also and that's something I will be looking into as soon as I get my hands on one assembly is fairly easy I'll leave links to their website Walmart Game Stop and Walmart Canada if you're interested in pre-ordering one because for $2.99 it's hard to build something like this if you have the tools and everything you could go ahead and build one with the Raspberry Pi it's totally up to you up for those who don't want to mess around you can go ahead and pick one of these up looking at the Walmart listing it looks like they're going to be releasing on September 27th which isn't that far away and I'm sure that these things are probably going to sell out if they didn't build a ton of them so
