More On: CES 2022 Killer Instinct Arcade Machine PRO Series

Until now, all of Arcade 1Up machines have been on the smaller side while replicating the design of the original counterpart. At CES 2022, Arcade 1Up is leveling up its size with the Killer Instinct Arcade Machine PRO Series.

Standing at 67.5" tall and housing a 19" monitor, it's not completely full size but it's just about there. That means you don't need a riser now, it's got more screen real estate, and you'll have more room to stand side by side with a friend.

There's a very nice chrome T-molding that lines the edges of the cabinet and to complete the arcade look, there's also a lighted coin door slot. Oh, and the marquee is lit as well.

The upgrades also go into the controllers and buttons as this time, Arcade 1Up went with Suzohapp sticks and buttons for that premium arcade feel. The audio also gets an upgrade with better speakers and better looking speaker grills.

A nice stool with back rest and even an anti-fatigue mat with the Killer Instinct logo is also included making this a very nice complete Killer Instinct setup.

The five games in the cabinet are Killer Instinct, Killer Instinct 2, and three Battletoads games.

No pricing or availability has been announced but you can be sure this is going to cost a premium over their previous offerings. It does look pretty awesome and gives me that great nostalgic feeling just seeing the cabinet in the pictures.
