I used to use Ken. Now I use Cammy. I let the opposing players admire her beautiful cartoon ass while I beat the shit out of them with her!

Damn the Japs are so rayciss.
Why do they always depict white westerner as blonde with big blue puck eye?

Not all white people are blonde with blue puck eyes!

Wait what... so you can upgrade the SNES classic with MORE games???
Yes of course you can. Mine has over 100 of my selected games. You could fit 300 games on it but i didnt want to litter it with rubbish. Lucky if there is 100 games worthy.

Takes me 5 mins to do it

What's it running a Raspberry Pi style setup or something? Or are the games on there but hardware locked?

Need to flash the rom. Then just drag games on using your computer. But have to download the games and title graphics first

Presents exactly as per snes classic but just more games to choose.

If you want more detail pm me and ill provide

Street Fighter 2 is still my favourite game of all time, can still play it for hours
I was the self proclaimed champ as a kid. I'd select Mbison and frustrate my friends by sliding from start to finish.

I was rubbish at Streetfighter but try playing me in Mortal Kombat as Sub Zero - Freeze, Uppercut, Slide kick, Freeze, Uppercut, Slide kick

One of my favourite arcade games when I was a kid was Willow (game based on the excellent movie)

When I ended up playing an emulated version of it many years later it didn't take me long to realise that the game is purely designed to be damn near impossible so it forces you to insert more coins. Not just old school game impossible. There's parts where you cannot pass until you've died a few times and inserted more coins, then it'll let you pass.

Classic arcade capitalism was the best capitalism because no one realised they were being robbed.

My first job out of high school was building arcade games. Double Dragon 2 and others.
Wed try and finish repairs on pinball machines or any other arcade games so we could play em during lunch.
I was never big into games, was just a cool job.
I wish I still had my cocktail table.
I bought one of those capcom boards about 2 years ago from China with 50 games on it. I dont like the new cocktal tables with LCD's/PC with 1000's of games.
I prefer old CRT with bleed for the primitive graphics for Galaga, 1942 etc.
I still havent built a table yet, its on this list of another 1000 projects Ill probably never get to.
