Arcade1Up is back with not only four new machines, but also news of expanded global availability.

Speaking at the Gamescom conference this week, Arcade1Up announced a lineup of four new machines coming this fall: Atari 50th Anniversary, Galaga Deluxe, Street Fighter II Deluxe, and Time Crisis. Time Crisis, in particular, has long been on fans’ want lists for release by the company.

The new global distribution deal will see the company’s machines coming more frequently to Australia, Canada, and European countries. “This is an exciting time for us. From our humble beginnings just five years ago to announcing we’re going global today – we couldn’t be more thrilled,” said Cyrus Rosenberg, Senior Licensing Manager for Arcade1Up. “Our new flagship ‘Deluxe’ design has been embraced by core gamers and families alike and we’re looking forward to expanding the line with several new releases in the back half of the year including a new franchise for us – Time Crisis.”

“We are happy to extend our relationship with Arcade1Up to get the new line of Deluxe arcade machines in the hands of consumers in Europe and beyond just in time for holiday,” said Umberto Pirera, CEO, Polyphoto S.p.A. “There is incredible passion for franchises like Time Crisis and Street Fighter and we know that fans will be excited for these authentic arcade experiences.”

The titles you can expect on the new machines – especially the Atari 50th Anniversary and Galaga Deluxe – will be hard to beat if you’ve never jumped into the home arcade pool before.
