iiRcade is a new home arcade machine that allows gamers to own and play their favorite arcade games at home. It looks to challenge the current space of at-home arcade machines that are currently dominated by Arcade 1Up.
“I’m a long-time gamer who used to go to the local arcade to play video games like Double Dragon, Street Fighter and Pac-Man,” says Jong Shin, President and CEO of iiRcade, Inc. “Like many other arcade gamers, I always dreamed of owning my own arcade at home.
As an adult, I was unable to make that happen because arcade machines are too expensive, too big for my home and most importantly, I would have to buy a new cabinet every time I wanted a new game. I wouldn’t be able to fit all these cabinets in my home.”
Shin would then create a solution with iiRcade – which combines the benefits of online connectivity with an arcade machine that gives players the ability to affordably download the officially licensed versions of the arcade games. With iiRcade, gamers can select and purchase a game they want on iiRcade’s app store, which is then automatically downloaded and installed on their iiRcade machine.
Shin says iiRcade is “the ultimate arcade machine for homes,” providing gamers with an online game store that allows them to download and play their favorite officially licensed arcade games. Unlike other arcade machines, iiRcade is not limited to a few pre-loaded games – so, in effect, it is like having the entire arcade put into one premium arcade machine.
“iiRcade enables you to play your favorite retro arcade games with the exact experiences as you remember, and the modern console-quality game titles that you love, in the arcade style,” Shin said. “iiRcade runs on iiRcadeOS, a customized operating system based on the latest Android core that is optimized for the most amazing gaming experiences, and is able to turn the best games developed on Android into the most intense arcade gaming you will ever play.”
Boasting today’s beautiful console graphics on high quality displays with the right arcade aspect ratios that fit all types of arcade games, and offering 80 watts of powerful stereo sound and top-quality arcade controllers, gamers will be able to feel the adrenaline-pumping experiences with heart-thumping thrills every time they play games on iiRcade.
iiRcade also offers easy, fast and fun gaming experiences via intuitive game menu and automatic controller configurations using iiRcade’s proprietary algorithm – which allow gamers to start playing a game right away, so that they can spend their valuable time playing games, rather than going through a frustrating process. iiRcade’s innovative convertible cabinet design turns iiRcade into a barcade for small rooms or into a full-sized arcade cabinet for mancaves and bigger spaces.
