If all that regular Marvel style wasn't your thing, try this on for size.

If you want a new arcade cabinet for your game room but you need it to have a little extra pizzazz, then Arcade1Up and Kith may just have what you're looking for. GameSpot can exclusively reveal the Marvel | Kith for Arcade1up Marvel vs. Capcom 2 cabinet, and while the name might be a mouthful, you should be very familiar with its roster of classic fighting games.

The cabinet, available the Arcade1Up site beginning July 24 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, sports co-branding from Arcade1up and Kith, with a Kith marquee and some classic X-Men designs on the riser. It's certainly different from the other Marvel cabinets we've seen thus far, but you'll see some classic comic book artwork on the side panels, as well. Its form-factor fits in line with most current Arcade1Up models, as well, with a slight tilt on the control panel to make it more comfortable.

Eight Marvel games are included with the cabinet, which are identical to those included in the standard Marvel vs. Capcom cabinet. The majority are fighting games, though there are a few action and beat-'em-up games, as well:

Marvel vs. Capcom

Marvel vs. Capcom 2

Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter

X-Men vs. Street Fighter

Marvel Super Heroes

X-Men: Children of the ATOM

X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse

Marvel Super Heroes in War of the Gems

A pop-up will run at San Diego Comic Con from July 20-23, during which an X-Men: Children of the ATOM tournament will be held. The winner will receive a free cabinet.
