Home arcade hype might feel “gone”… but arcade excitement absolutely isn’t. In this LIVE stream I’m doing the counterpoint: while some 3/4 scale and XL cabinet makers are stumbling, these brands, products, and platforms are keeping arcade gaming FUN in 2026, and in some cases, pushing it forward.
---------
What we’re covering (the “hype keepers”):
Quarter Arcades (1/4 scale done right)
GRS Build-a-Cade FU (build-kit energy + tinkering culture)
GIJoel Gaming Build Choice (premium DIY cabinet vibes)
X-Arcade Arcade2TV-XR (arcade controls + modern setups/VR)
Meta Quest + Pinball FX VR / Zen pinball in VR (arcade atmosphere at home)
Nintendo Switch 2 (arcade-style gameplay + couch co-op momentum)
Unico Nova Blast U3 Raiden (candy cab energy for shmup fans)
Buy Stuff Arcades (mods/upgrades that fix the experience)
----------
The big question:
Is “home arcade” actually dying… or is it evolving into smaller, smarter, more passionate ecosystems (DIY, VR, premium niche cabs, upgrades)?
What keeps YOU excited right now — mini/1/4 scale, DIY builds, VR pinball, candy cabs, or mods/upgrades?
