Keep in mind that the arcade cabinet is just a glorified 2 player controller with Narita Boy plastered all over. It is still a home console / PC game.

I saw that announcement as well.

The difference is Narita Boy is a terrible arcade game. It's a metroidvania with floaty jump physics and super easy boss fights.

The presentation is pure class, I'll give it that.

Seriously though, if it was going to be the price of a premium pinball you'd think they'd put more effort into building the cab.

It looks like they built this one-off to raise money for charity.

I don't know much about this company or the charity they're supporting (British Gaming Institute), but it seems like the point was to raise money, so yeah, they're going to make it as cheap as they can to maximize the donation.

So while it looks like cheap trash to us, they seem to have good intentions at least .

Who are you guys kidding, if this thing was made by Sega there would be plenty of people here pressing the "order now" button.

Yeah, it's pretty ugly. Still, it's cool they're doing it for charity. Hopefully someone buys it, there's plenty of people who like that style of cab.
