Pros
ConsThe details
Tired of complex and arduous fighting games?
With this arcade machine, you can bring in the joy of those classic fighting arcade games without busting the bank. This is a relatively affordable replica and at 3/4th the size of a legitimate arcade machine, it can make for a great playing experience overall.
Features
The first feature we’ll discuss is the game. Since this is a Street Fighter II machine, you can expect it to be loaded with the Street Fighter II game. However, this machine does you one better by also adding the Champion and Turbo edition of the game, giving you a bunch of different playing modes.
Whether you’re looking to become king of the arcade through single-player mode or to beat your family and friends with multi-player mode, this is the machine for the job. It even comes with the original controls and artwork so you can truly immerse yourself in the experience.
Durability
This is a pretty durable machine. It’s on the heftier side for a 3/4th sized model, so you don’t have to worry about small bumps knocking over the machine. Additionally, the retro-style cabinets are made of wood and designed to last the test of time.
The one area where this machine falls short, however, is in the display. The screen of this machine isn’t too strong, so if you leave it on for extended periods of time you risk damaging it. So, to ensure that this game lasts you and the family many years to come, make sure to unplug and turn it off when not in use.
Ease of use
This machine is 3/4th size, so you won’t be able to have it shipped assembled. With that said, it does come with all the screws you’ll need and instructions to follow. And according to most customer reviews, assembly is fairly straightforward.
However, some customers have said you might be better off figuring out how to assemble it yourself than going through the instructions. With that said, everyone reacts differently to instructions, and some people have said that the instructions are pretty clear anyway.
Value for money
At less than $500, this machine offers a lot of value for the money. Of course, you can splurge and spend more on a full-size machine, but that can be impractical and hard to place in the household.
So, if you’re looking for a competent machine that can provide you with the authentic Street Fighter II experience without busting the bank, this is one of the best options on the market today.
Final verdict
This is one of the best arcade machines in today’s market. It provides you with a fun and immersive experience, and you can even bring in another player to play with you. It’s a 3/4th size machine available at a decent price and could be a great way for you to introduce the family to the joys of the original Street Fighter games.
