The retro tech company '8Bitdo' has released a desktop arcade game setup that combines a nostalgic system with modernized features.
The desktop arcade game setup features a "retrogame cabinet complete with controls." The system is made from a dark wood and aims to "re-contextualize the experience of play." The front of the system features the controls as well as a clear screen, while the side makes up a sculptural, trumpet-like shape that gives it a unique look. The unique system sits on four gold-colored legs and while it is currently only in prototype form, it will eventually be offered in a variety of different sizes.
This game system is perfect for people of all ages -- those who will find it to be a nostalgic device and those who would purchase it as a unique novelty item.
