Though I’m\u2026 not great at fighting games, I’ve always admired the aesthetic of a fighting game cabinet. Providing not only easy access to the most important buttons but a nice look in the process, one Redditor<\/a> has found a tiny version you can snap a Lenovo Legion Go<\/a> into, and it even has built-in speakers.<\/p>\n

The Arcade Bartop is currently being made by SakuraRetroModding<\/a> on Etsy and being sold for $350. For no other reason than them being my main, I hope the name comes from Sakura Kasugano in Street Fighter.<\/p>\n

$350 is quite a lot of cash for an accessory, but it is a super neat device. It uses both a Sanwa joystick and buttons. Sanwa joysticks are popular because they’re small and responsive, which is helpful for the quick joystick prompts required to really master Street Fighter.<\/p>\n

The machine itself is 3D printed, but the PCB is custom-designed to accommodate seven buttons at the front and six buttons on the top. The redditor who bought one says, “It is not super cheap, but feels very professional and extremely high quality.”<\/p>\n

The cabinet also comes with a speaker, which the seller says outshines the standard ones in the Legion Go. You can hear them at work in the Reddit thread, where a buyer is bragging about bringing it on a cross-country flight with them. Though it may have larger speakers, I am hoping anyone who brings this bartop arcade with them to public spaces plugs a pair of headphones in.<\/p>\n

I think I know what I will doing on my cross country flight tomorrow\u2026<\/a> from r\/LegionGo<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
