Yeah, that's what I'm doing in my Super Punch-Out machine, and it works fine in the 100V outlet.
In the case of a Punch-Out or Super Punch-Out machine, there is a good chance the cord that comes with those under-cabinet lights won't be long enough. For mine, I bought a white extension cord at the dollar store, cut one end off it, took the light fixture apart, and used it to replace the original cord.
I also used some flush cutters to trim down the wider blade on the plug so they were both the same width, and a file to smooth it out (it came out good, you have to look closely to even see it was modified), because the outlet in Nintendo cabinets is a non-polarized design, and a polarized plug won't fit in it. It was easy to trim down because the blade was only flared out at the tip to make it wider, rather than the whole blade being wider.

I just cut the cord on the Nintendo cord, soldered it to the one I bought from Walmart, put some heat shrink on it, it was good as new!
Well I put the finishing touches on it tonight and moved it into its temporary home.... MY FORMAL DINING ROOM! LOL!
Well here are a couple last pics, I cut a new skirt for around the monitor using the old one as a pattern. I used some black poster board I got a the Hobby Lobby. Here is a shot of that...
I ended up cutting it in 1/2 to get it to fit just perfect.....
