Arcade 1up, who manufactures arcade cabinets designed for the home user, is adding a Mortal Kombat Classics machine to its lineup! Some of its previous games include a combination Pac-Man & Pac-Man Plus, Galaga & Galaxian, and the rival fighting game Street Fighter II/Street Fighter II Turbo/Super Street Fighter II. Judging from the artwork on the cabinet, it appears that this unit will contain Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II, and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Just as with previous re-releases of the klassics, the vanilla Mortal Kombat 3 will not be included in this kollection.
Some of the features of these cabinets include:
- 45.8" H x 23" D x 19" W, approx. 63 lbs
- Optional riser add-on, raises height to 57.8" (for playing while standing)
- Optional bar stools (for playing while seated)
- 17" LCD screen
- Simple assembly
- Authentic arcade joysticks, trackballs, buttons and sounds
- No quarters required
- Adjustable volume
- Official licensed authentic cabinet artwork
- 1p and 2p controls
This unit is expected to be available for sale September 2019, at retailers such as Best Buy, GameStop, and Target. Although pricing for the Mortal Kombat kabinet has not officially been announced, it's worth noting that all of the other cabinets retail for $299.00 USD.
