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:
