The arcade unit itself comes in two sizes with a 46” compact unit running for $399 and $599 for the 66” full-size unit-the latter of which is the one I saw during my demo. Like adding more games, AtGames tells me it has designed the Legends Ultimate to be expandable with more peripherals including Bluetooth accessories, alternate cabinet art, light guns, and more. With all these different input options player should feel right at home whether they’re playing pong with a spinner, Centipede with a trackball, or any fighting game with the full-featured fight stick. Here are some of the games on the ATGames Legends Ultimate Arcade MachineĪtGames’ Legends Ultimate Arcade Machine is a pretty well-rounded unit that includes two full arcade-style control panels complete with joysticks, six action buttons, a trackball, and two spinners for each player. This lets you play other titles AtGames has already released while using the arcade machine like one giant screen and controller. One other way users will be able to add more games is by plugging in one of AtGames’ Blast! kits-essentially a Chromecast for games-into one of the Legends Ultimate’s top-side HDMI ports.
Unfortunately, pricing schemes for the ArcadeNet are still being finalized, so we’ll have to sit tight without that crucial knowledge for now. AtGames also wants to add competitive and cooperative multiplayer to all titles on its service. The whole ArcadeNet cloud-connected service will run on a subscription-based model similar to Google Stadia, except games are being beamed directly to an arcade machine. Network latency will be the biggest pain of playing arcade games streaming from the Internet. Metal Slug felt fairly responsive whenever the hotel internet ping fell below 30ms. In Tetris, I was able to slide pieces into gaps with ease just like I could on my home systems. But the experience worked better than expected in my short demo. Playing arcade games streamed through a remote PC might sound like the worst thing on paper. AtGames is also implementing what it calls BYOG (Bring Your Own Game), which grants you direct access to your ArcadeNet cloud-connected gaming PC to log into Steam and play your favorite PC games with the arcade setup. Once linked to the service, this machine gains access to a much larger library of games like Metal Slug and Samurai Shodown-and even the vast array of console games that never made it to the arcades.
