If you’ve been looking for a reason to buy a home arcade cabinet, you may be excited to hear that Arcade1Up is adding two brand new machines to its Legacy lineup including the Bandai Namco Entertainment Legacy Ms. Pac-Man Edition and Capcom Legacy Yoga Flame & Shinku Hadoken Edition.

Need the full list of games. But, I like the idea of a collection like this over the more limited approach. I assume there've (is that a word?) licensing limitations that's kept them from doing more collections before. Too bad this will still be $500+ , but not like I have the space anyways. :(
