Honey, They Shrunk the Arcade Machines!

Gamers are getting younger and younger every day! Or, at least Arcade1Up thinks so! And they are here to provide every gamer a chance to own their own machine. Even the littlest ones. With that in mind, the brand has unveiled its new Arcade1Up Jr. line. 

And the first two games are PAW Patrol and Pac-Man, of course!

According to the brand, the line is specifically meant for the tiniest of gamers. The junior-sized machines will be no taller than 36”. And they feature lightweight yet sturdy construction. Additionally, they state that their cabinets “are an ideal way to introduce your kids to the magic of the arcade experience you grew up with.”

Available in either the Pac-Man or PAW Patrol format, the cabinets are vibrant enough to entice the youngest members of your family. However, keep in mind that these are designed for kids ages 4 to 8. So your toddler may have to wait a couple of years.

And by the way, parents! If any of you are like me, you spend far too many hours yelling at instructions for a kid’s toy. So, you’re probably wondering if it would be worth the hassle to purchase. Well, I have good news for you because these mini arcade machines come with no assembly required! Huzzah!

Though accessories will vary by retailer, the following are specs for both machines:

• Dimensions: 17.50″ D x 15.50″ in W x 36.50″ H
• 8-inch screen
• Joystick-4 way + oversized ball top
• Oversized buttons
• Power: Micro USB (includes a cord with plug)

Plus, there’s more than one game in each cabinet! For example, the Pac-Man machine includes Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig Dug. The PAW Patrol system also features three games: Chase is in a Race, PAW Patrol Off Duty, and PAW Patrol Pups on the Go! With this much fun in store, we only have one question: can Santa carry these? These will be one of the top gifts at Christmas, we’re sure!

On October 15th, the Arcade1Up Jr. Pac-Man will be for sale. And just a month later, on November 15, the PAW Patrol version will also be available. Both will be available at a variety of retailers and will start at $280.
