    It's a small arcade machine! It looks just like the original! It plays Galaga! Or Galaxian! Or Ms. Pac-Man! Depending which one you buy! Exclamation mark!
    Remember the days of the arcades? Want to relive them in a much smaller format? Well here's your chance! It's more nostalgia pieces for collect-o-people, and nice ones they are too. Prepare to sell a kidney though, as non-rubbish scale replicas don't come cheap.

      Can they secure the rights to the audio in Sinistar tho?

And as you know, dead video game voice actors are always a huge legal barrier.

    Hopefully they'll start making Neo-Geo MVSes next.

    I was gonna say some quarter size quarters to lineup along the bottom of the screen and quarter size cigarettes so you could put quarter size burn marks on your machine to give an even more authentic look but, that would just be silly wouldn't it?
