As if Arcade1up’s upcoming line-up of games – including The Simpsons Arcade, X-Men and Dragon’s Lair – weren’t enticing enough for this year, the company has gone and announced three new deluxe machines that you’re going to want to add to your rec room. Say goodbye to the couch.
First up is a re-release of the highly popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game. However instead of the original (which is still included), the design will lean more towards the sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time. It looks pretty funky, as you can see in the photo below, and should make for a nice get for those of you that missed it the first time around. Cowabunga indeed.
There will also be a new Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga model made available, featuring both of the iconic Bandai Namco hits, along with the following games.
- Dig Dug
- Mappy
- Rally X
- Galaxian
- Rolling Thunder
- Rompers
- Tower of Druaga
- King and Balloon
- Dig Dug II
- Galaga ’88
Dubbed the “Class of 1981” machine, it should be a big hit with fans.
But the real treat will be the new Capcom Street Fighter II “Big Blue” model, which will feature a number of fighting games, including Darkstalkers, Saturday Night Slam Masters and its rare sequel, Muscle Bomber Duo. For good measure, it’ll also have Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo and the hack-and-slash delight Knights of the Round. Its full contents are below.
- Street Fighter II Champion Edition
- Street Fighter II Turbo: 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
Release dates aren’t available just yet, but all three games will be available for pre-order starting July 1st over on the Arcade1up website. Better hurry, because they’re likely to sell out fast.
