I’m already a sucker for old Saturday Morning cartoons, but a new X-Men arcade machine is on the way that has me ridiculously excited for the revival. Better still, the retro cabinet also has one of my favorite Sega Saturn fighter🃏s built in, alongside a few other classics that pay a perfect homage to the comic book caper.
Clad in promotional X-Men ‘97 artwork, the latest modern cabinet by Arcade1up is available to pre-order now at Amazon , but it's more than just a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best retro console contender. In fact, just like the company’s other coin-ops creations, the setup looks pretty much identical to something you’d find in a ‘90s amusements. Pretty appropriate considering the new Disney+ show wants to drag your mind back to the glory days of watching a short hairy Wolverine call everyone ‘bub’ on a CRT, but it does ta🔯ke advantage of a few qualities we’ve come to appreciate in 2024.
For starters, the X-Men ‘97 Arcade1Up cabinet pairs its light up marquee and two-player joystick setup with a 17-inch BOE display, and while it retains that 4:3 aspect ratio from back in the day, it should hold up against modern 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:gaming monitors. Unlike most original machines, it also has eight different X-Men fighting games built in. Here’s the complete list💯:
X-Men '97 Arcade1Up machine games:
- Marvel vs Capcom 2
- Marvel vs Capcom 1
- Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter X
- X-Men vs Street Fighter
- Marvel Super Heroes X
- X-Men Children of the ATOM X
- X- Men Mutant Apocalypse
- Marvel Superheroes in War of the Gems
I’m personally pretty hyped for X-Men vs Street Fighter, as it’s the reason I still have my Sega Saturn waiting in the wings for whenever I need to see Cyclops get a talking to from Cammy. However, having played all the fighters on this list, I can confirm that they all slap, and thanks to online multiplayer features♊, you can duel other players with the cabinet and climb your w💧ay up a leader board. Or, in my case, reveal just how much you suck at old 2D fighters.
Arcade1up says the X-Men ‘97 machine will be available April 25, meaning it should line up with the new show’s Disney+ release. As mentioned above, the setup is going to set you back $499, which is a pretty penny to pay for a nost🥃algia burst, but one that I’d argue is worth it if you’d rather have an arcade cabinet in your ꧙home where something adult and boring like a fireplace should be.
That said, if you’re not really into yellow spandex and ‘90s cartoon shenaওnigans, you could always grab one of the company’s other cabinets. I’ve included a few favorites that are currently available below, just in case you’re eager to get one in your game room ASAP.
