2022’s Consumer Electronics Show (or CES) is almost upon us and once again Arcade1up is partaking and bringing with it a batch of new modern arcade machines.
As per usual these new units will be shorter than the cabinets of old but still be playable while standing up or sitting down, and each will feature a selection of games.
For starters we have three Legacy cabinets slated for release in Spring 2022. The first of these has Pac-Mania designs and features a bunch of Bandai Namco classics…
- Dig Dig
- Dig Dug II
- Galaga
- Galaga ’88
- Galaxian
- Mappy
- Pac & Pal
- Pac-Land
- Pac-Man
- Pac-Man Plus
- Pac-Mania
- Rolling Thunder
- Rompers
- Super Pac-Man
There’ll also be a Midway collection emblazoned with Mortal Kombat.
- Bubbles
- Defender
- Gauntlet
- Joust
- Klax
- Mortal Kombat
- Mortal Kombat II
- Mortal Kombat 3
- Paperboy
- Rampage
- Rootbeer Tapper
- Toobin
- Ultimate MK3
- Wizard of Wor
The final Legacy cabinet is from Atari and the exterior is based on the classic Centipede.
- Akka Arrh
- Asteroids
- Asteroids Deluxe
- Centipede
- Crystal Castles
- Gravitar
- Liberator
- Lunar Lander
- Major Havoc
- Millipede
- Missile Command

That’s not all from Arcade1up at CES, though, as we also have the announcement of the first Pro machine, based on Killer Instinct, which will feature a 19 inch screen, compared to the usual 17 inch, and upgraded components. 5 games will be included but they have yet to be confirmed, though the previous Killer Instinct cabinet featured three Battletoads games.
The three Legacy units will launch in Spring 2022 while Killer Instinct will arrive in the summer.

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
