As a seasoned gamer with decades of arcade experiences under my belt, let me tell you that the Arcade1Up Claw Machine and the Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 X-Men ’97 Edition cabinet are two exciting additions to any home gaming setup!


As an avid fan, I’ve always admired Arcade1Up for their miniature, budget-friendly replicas of iconic arcade machines. However, they’re shaking things up with the introduction of a full-sized claw machine! Every home arcade setup needs that classic carnival charm, and this one offers three adjustable difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, or the infamous default for real-life claw machines – “Scam Mode.

This gadget comes equipped with a glowing signboard and control button, an adjustable sound system, and 12 capsules made of plastic that you can fill with prizes of your liking. To add more variety, you can also include loose items like plush toys. Initially available for pre-order on Amazon last month, it is now readily available at Walmart (through a reliable third party vendor offering free shipping), priced at the regular $499.99 with a planned release date of November 21st. It’s an entertaining choice for holiday gifts and parties, but remember that there’s no coin slot, so it’s not intended to be used as a money-making venture.

As noted, the claw machine is full-size at 22″W x 22.5″D x 61.25″H. They suggest that prizes shouldn’t exceed .44 pounds, but you could always go over that threshold to enhance Scam Mode. If you want to build out your home arcade, additional Arcade1UP cabinets can be found here on Amazon and here at Walmart.
