Arcade 1Up – known for recreating classic arcade cabinet titles, such as Mortal combat and NBA Jam – revealed an office for the launch of Rare in 1994, Killer Instinct. This is the same game that was ported to the Super Nintendo a year later – although there are noticeable differences between the two versions.
This case also includes a number of other Rare games. There is the 1996 sequence Killer Instinct 2, Battletoads (the arcade version) and Battletoads and Double Dragon (1993).
“Killer Instinct ™. Fans loved it, critics loved it. For many retrogamer enthusiasts, it’s a definitive title from the mid-90s, with gameplay, soundtrack and rendered 3D graphics. Relive the era of video games with this arcade cabinet stop. you-in-your-tracks, 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 wi-fi feature” – allowing you to face opponents online and can be elevated in height.
“Do you need to add a little height to this case? No problem, the included riser takes you there. Do you want to start a fight remotely? The Live WiFi feature allows you to face opponents anywhere, playing from your own case.”
There is no word on a release date yet, and the design or art of the case is not yet finalized. What do you think? Is this the arcade cabinet you’ve been waiting for? Leave a comment below.
