My Arcade Announces New Galaga Joystick Player

Wanna relive the glory days of Galaga from the arcades on your table? My Arcade has a new mini version on the way with a joystick.


My Arcade has a brand-new classic mini arcade title on the way, as they have an all-new Galaga Joystick Player arriving ahead of the holidays. Working with Bandi Namco for this design, the company has recreated a mini version of the classic arcade title; only this one comes with a joystick specially made for this version. Basically, this is here to give you a better feeling of being a pilot in space, fighting off everything coming your way. The team is only teasing it for now and has yet to put it up for pre-order or announce a release date, but we do know it will run you $50 if you wish to own it.
