Portable Retro Arcade Machines

My Arcade's Micro Player is a Replica of an Old Arcade Classic

— May 3, 2021 — Tech
Classic arcade games are making a comeback with My Arcade's Micro Players. The company creates mini replicas of the classic retro coin-operated arcade machines. To instill the sense of nostalgia, My Arcade teams up with Capcom on its Street Fighter II: Champion Edition Micro Player.

My Arcade prioritizes attention to detail in the Street Fighter II: Champion Edition Micro Player. The 1/10th scale replica features artwork inspired by the original game, and character portraits of playable fighters Ryu, Ken, Zangief, and Blanka. The physical controls are also in line with the classic game, featuring a signature six-button layout and a joystick.

The golden days of arcade gaming can now be relived with My Arcade's affordable replicas. The newest addition to the bundle is now available for purchase at Target and select online retailers.
