Wow, this is ridiculous

On April 17, 2008, in Arcade/MAME, Nintendo Wii, Stupid, by Jeff Rivera

I love arcades and console gaming. I think both are great, but I don’t really see the point in cramming both into a massive monstrosity. A couple of weeks ago I posted about somebody who ruined a Tempest to shove a Wii into the cabinet, but this guy takes it one step further. This custom MAME cabinet incorporates a full MAME setup, a Nintendo Wii, a 42″ HDTV, a 6.1 sound system, and one of the biggest cabinets you’ll ever see. It’s ugly, it’s huge, and it’s probably just an overall bad idea. The four player coin door is a genius stroke when it only has a two player setup as well. Just great thinking all around went into this one. To get an idea at the size of this thing, here are some comparison dimensions and a picture:

Dimensions for a Donkey Kong arcade cabinet
 Height: 67″
Depth: 33.5″
Width: 23.5″
approx. 220 lbs

Dimensions for the Custom MAME/Wii machine
 Height: 78″
Depth: 60″
Width: 48″
approx. 500 lbs

Oh, and did I mention that the seller wants $7,000 for this thing (before shipping)? Hahahahahamburger.

    The only thing that would make this cab better is a minifridge.

    I’ve never understood the putting consoles in arcade cabinets with arcade style controls. Sure there are some that it works with, mostly arcade style games in this case games like Guilty Gear and Metal Slug but otherwise they just don’t work. I couldn’t imagine playing Zelda or Metroid Prime on that thing.

    Chrisbg99,

    I don’t think this person built this cab to play Zelda or Mertoid Prime.
