Arcade1Up has dropped an amazing surprise for fans of The Fast & The Furious franchise, as they are releasing a deluxe arcade cabinet for the game. This is the 2004 arcade title based on the film franchise made by Raw Thrills and Universal that did pretty well for itself at the time but was never re-released or ported to home consoles. It's had a few sequels, but it seems like none compared to the success of the first. Now you'll be able to experience it at home with this specially designed version from the retro arcade maker. What's more, this cabinet has a first that we expect to see in the future with other titles, as you can link up to four cabinets together on a local network so that they can all race against each other. The cabinet is currently up for pre-order for $600 a piece, as it will be released via Best Buy. We got more details from today's announcement, as well as a trailer below.
