Title: Mini SFIV cabs on ebay UK
Post by: Turnarcades on July 19, 2009, 09:16:38 pm

Just saw these cabinets on ebay. Although I'm not a fan of the game, these cabinets look fairly slick and professional, so maybe someone here knows the story behind whoever made these (assuming the details are in fact true on the listing)?

Pretty cool, no?

Weird it is for kids!
My experience with cabs is that kids don't get joysticks.
They grow up with remote controls, with gamepads, with phones and with touch screens, but they don't get those weird big sticks. They can expose ADHD or autism on sticks, but playing.... No.
Next time target daddy!

i'm not surprised the company went bust - a pointless toy for kids that they won't play. An adult version would have been much better.

I love that it's a Street Fighter IV cab but is running 3rd Strike.

I saw these - great craftsmanship I have to say but they just looked a little bit deformed and look a little 'toy' like to me... certainly not a criticism, more of an opinion!

I agree.  The shape is weird, and there's a bunch of wasted space directly under the monitor.
