Almost three dozen games, a trip into a bygone era, and plenty of reasons to have a pocket full of coins jangling away as you peruse the offerings. Depending on your fondness for the past, Capcom Arcade Stadium has a divisive collection of charming cult classic titles and time-wasting distractions, but it's all presented in a package that lures you in with bright lights, loud sounds, and plenty of nostalgia.

Capcom’s Retro Station might be the best alternative then to a full arcade stand, even if it only plays ten games from two franchises. While the publisher hasn’t officially confirmed it, Amazon Japan let the hadouken out of the bag by revealing the arcade-inspired unit, and it is simply adorable. Just look at this.

If there’s a console that SEGA has had a hand in over the years, chances are looking pretty solid that it’ll live once again. Only smaller! Cuter! More justified expensesier! After releasing the Sega Terrible Phil Collins Band/Mega Drive Mini and announcing a new Game Gear Micro, SEGA has another bit of retro kit on the way: The Astro City Mini. Sadly, it’s not an interactive box of the best chocolates ever made.

A sexy collection of stories detailing the development of Sega’s biggest arcade game sellers, Space Harrier, After Burner, Hang-On, Out Run, Thunder Blade and Power Drift by games writer Keith Stuart, but it’s also presented in format where you can construct paper replicas of those cabinets.

Gears 5 debuts later this year, and with it comes a new multiplayer pursuit in the form of Arcade mode. The idea is simple: Two teams of five players pick their favourite character and race to see who can murder the other team first to the tune of 50 kills.

Fatalities may be the bread and butter of Mortal Kombat 11, but I kind of find myself favouring Brutalities lately. They’re that extra bit of salt in the wound of a pal, a finishing move that is not only brutal but also says “hey I’m good enough to beat you according to a very specific set of requirements outside of …

In Mortal Kombat 11 every character gets a single Fatality unlocked from the start. If you want that second finisher, you’ll have to grind for it in the Krypt, an idea so foul that I’d rather spend my time performing a root canal on Baraka. If you do happen to know the actual input though, there’s nothing stopping you from actually performing the secondary finisher.
