I'm dangerously close to replacing my coffee table with a Mortal Kombat arcade machine thanks to Prime Day
Prime Day has slashed a bunch of Arcade1up retro arcade machines, so it's not my fault if I end up replacing my furniture. From Mortal Kombat cocktail-style machines to dashing upright homages to Street Fighter and Pac-Man, you'll be able to grab a selection of machines for up to half price and beyond.
I'll start off with my favorite of the bunch, as it happens to be the one that's down to a new record low. Over at Amazon right now, the Arcade1Up Mortal Kombat Head-to-Head Arcade Machine is down to $299.99 from $699.99, and calling it one of the best Prime Day gaming deals ever is a hill I'm willing to die on. Look, I love new consoles and handhelds much as the next nerd, but if you make me choose between saving a Steam Deck OLED or this MK cab in a trolley problem scenario, you'll end up sweeping bits of Valve plastic off the track.
In addition to the gorgeous Mortal Kombat discount, Amazon also has an Arcade1up Street Fighter cabinet for $349.99 (down from $499.99) and a very cute Pac-Mania machine for $344.34 (was also $499.99). Both of those alternatives aren't down to their absolute lowest prices, as last year's December discounts managed to bring things under $300. Still, offers on these replica gaming systems aren't too common, so I'm still happy to see them pop up for Prime Day.
