While the gaming industry has largely focused on home-based consoles and PC gaming in recent years, the fondness and nostalgia for arcade games continues on. Even as arcade-style locations grow less popular due to social tastes and pandemic-related reasons, arcade cabinets and pinball machines reminiscent of the 80s and 90s continue to be made and sold. One popular way these are being brought back is miniature arcade cabinets that can fit classic titles like Pac-Man on a table. Now, it has been confirmed that an Astro City mini arcade cabinet is coming to the West, bringing classic SEGA games with it.

After previously only being available through Amazon Japan, Limited Run Games has listed the Astro City mini arcade cabinet on their website, confirming they will be the release partner for the version of the device being sold to western markets. The mini-cabinet is modeled after the classic SEGA Astro City arcade machines that have been popular fixations in Japanese arcades and Pachinko parlors. Thirty-seven games will be pre-installed on the device, with the following being confirmed:

• Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars (with Stella)

The mini arcade machine has a joystick with six gameplay buttons, as well as two USB slots for additional controllers that are being sold separately. The device does need to be plugged-in to work, but it does allow for the display to be exported to a bigger screen through HDMI. The Astro City mini arcade machine will be made available today, Friday, March 26th, on the Limited Run website for $129.99. Only 3,500 English units are being manufactured for western markets, so die-hard SEGA fans gotta go fast if they want this little taste of arcade history.
