Apologies for the extended absence. My get up and go must have got hit by a truck.
Anyway, the big news from Mollipen (I don't know how she gets these scoops before everyone else... it must be why she gets paid the big gaming journalism bucks) is that Arcade1UP is releasing a cabinet with three King of Fighters games. We're getting '94, '96, and '98, which aren't entries I personally would have picked, but it's a start.
By the way, it's a little disconcerting that these cabs made of particle board and imitation arcade hardware are selling for six hundred dollars in Japan. I couldn't even justify seventy five dollars for the Centipede cabinet when it was on clearance at Wal-Mart! At six hundred bucks, you might as well buy a real arcade cab, or roll your own with a Raspberry Pi and actual wood. You might lop off a few fingers with power tools, but what's love without a little sacrifice?
