About 4 ft x 2.5 ft x 7 inches, around 60 pounds. Big rectangular box that should fit in a backseat.

However this is the 1st 4 player game being released so dimensions may be a little larger. But nothing too crazy.

Thanks so much for the info! I seriously appreciate it!

That definitely sounds doable for me. The price point is crazy awesome as well, so hopefully I can snag one if they're not too limited.

Yup-been dreaming of the full sized one forever, and now with this?!?! Yeah its gonna happen. Too awesome not to. If anyone has any release info or where I can get this thing please let me know.

Already have an insider who is going to snag me one once they hit locally.

*wpugh2424* · 06-11-2019, 01:35 PM

When is it releasing ? If it’s listed I have missed it somehow

Wait until Walmart.com has it for preorder.

Not sure how I feel about the associated riser. Definitely getting one to raise the height but might go with the default black.

*Shogun26* · 06-11-2019, 07:44 PM

I saw one of these tonight at Costco (different games) and it got me even more excited.

I hope the back is just their standard black one w/ logo? I also saw a video from E3 and there was a TMNT stool as well (same image as riser)

Skip to 6:30 marker.
Goes to 22:00 for all things TMNT.

Few notes for the lazy. If you're all fat, good luck fitting four players. They do show a smaller group of four playing towards the end. The volume control featured will be changed out for a slider adjuster. November should be release date. Not sure if $349 price tag is with riser or not. They also made some custom stools it looks like. No additional info on that though.

It includes the riser

That is so damn cool! I have no place for one and it kills me.

You think this is steep? Do you have any idea how much the original cabinet goes for?

Go on...

I bought mine in 1999 for $427. Some of the decals are worn/faded but I have vintage replacements (not reprints, but new old stock). One of these days I want to restore it, I guess.

They sell these things through Aldi here, which is annoying. They like to play funny games with release dates, so you never know how hard it will be to buy something.

$350 for an Arcade 1up cabinet seems like a lot if you paid $427 for the real deal.

In the last 5ish years of looking for a TMNT Arcade I have never seen anything near that price so I would say you found yourself a really good deal!

I have seen a few rebuilt or refurbished original TMNT full sized cabinets for sale and they are around $3,000. Lowest I found was a local machine for $1,800, but the board didn't work and was very "seasoned" looking to say the least.

Even assembled MAME cabinets are around that $2,500-$3,000 price from what I have seen.

I finally decided to just build my own, but it is taking more time then I was at first thinking. (And costing more too)

These are the same reasons that I want this thing too. I cant afford 2-3k for a nice cabinet with only 1 game in it. This is a dream come true plus its smaller and fits the man cave better.

The same happened to me. Once it’s all built though it’s definitely more rewarding having 1000+ games on it. I think I spent about $1200 on mine over time. I did buy some things for it that weren’t really necessary though. Even with all those games I think I only play about 40 of them anymore.

There are videos to mod these cabinets with a Raspberry Pi if you wanted to.....even just to add X-Men & Simpsons on it.
