EB has announced it’s taking pre-orders for a new range of fully licensed arcade cabinet replicas created by Numskull, including a couple of classic machines featuring the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time.
Both small-scale replica cabinets will be available starting in November this year, and will feature their respective games on lovingly-recreated hardware, with up to four players and some neat bonus features like hidden USB ports for external controllers and rechargeable internal batteries. Pre-orders are on now and require a $50 deposit, and you can find them just below:
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1/4 Scale Arcade Cabinet Replica – $699
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time 1/4 Scale Arcade Cabinet Replica – $699
Now, these aren’t actually the first TMNT arcade cabinet replicas available recently, with Arcade 1Up slinging their own version since a couple of years back. The main difference with the fully licensed Numskull-branded job that EB is offering is a much smaller version at just a 1/4 scale versus the original Konami cabinet, making it better suited to bedrooms, desks, that kind of thing. At $699 they’re not exactly cheap for their size but definitely a neat bit of collectible nostalgia for anyone with fond memories of these machines.
It sounds like an impressive effort to replicate the original arcade experience in a much smaller form factor as well. Here’s what each of these cabinets has to offer:
- Fully playable replica using the original arcade ROM
- Realistic replica – made from wood and everything from the artwork, shape and buttons matches the original cabinet
- Light-up marquee
- Four-player simultaneous play
- 4x front USB ports (hidden behind the coin doors) allow the use of USB gaming controllers (sold separately)
- High-quality: made for durability, playability, and portability
- 6” TFT screen with 4:3 ratio featuring a new CRT lens screen cover
- Original sound positioning via 3W built-in speaker with volume control
- Powered via USB-C (cable included)
- Internal rechargeable lithium battery
- Dimensions: 44.5 cm H x 23.4 cm W x 24 cm D
