Quarter Arcade Unveils 1/4-Scale Replicas of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Turtles in Time Arcade Machines

Arcade gaming enthusiasts and fans of the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise have reason to rejoice as Quarter Arcade, a leading name in the retro gaming industry, has recently announced the release of 1/4-scale replicas of the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Turtles in Time arcade machines. These meticulously crafted replicas promise to transport players back to the golden age of arcade gaming, delivering an authentic arcade experience in a super compact form.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Heroes in a Half Shell

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game, first released in 1989 by Konami, quickly became a fan favorite. It captivated players with its fast-paced action, cartoon-like graphics, and cooperative gameplay. Quarter Arcade’s 1/4-scale replica of this beloved classic aims to capture every detail and essence of the original machine, bringing back memories of battling the Foot Clan alongside Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Players will once again be able to choose their favorite turtle and team up with friends to save New York City from the clutches of Shredder and his minions.

Meanwhile, and arguably more popular, Turtles in Time, the sequel to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game, was released in 1991, further solidifying the franchise’s popularity among arcade-goers. This action-packed beat ’em up allowed players to control their favorite heroes as they battled through different time periods, facing off against iconic enemies like Bebop, Rocksteady, and Krang. Quarter Arcade’s 1/4-scale replica of Turtles in Time promises to faithfully recreate the arcade experience, complete with the vibrant graphics, engaging gameplay, and nostalgic soundtrack that made the original a timeless classic.

Quarter Arcade’s TMNT Replica Specifications

Quarter Arcade’s announcement of 1/4-scale replicas of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Turtles in Time arcade machines has generated significant excitement among gaming enthusiasts. Each cabinet represents an officially licensed product, faithfully replicating either Konami’s original 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or the 1991 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time arcade cabinet.

These miniature replicas offer a fully playable experience, utilizing the original arcade ROM to recreate the classic gameplay. The cabinets are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, constructed from wood to accurately replicate the artwork, shape, and buttons of the original cabinets. Additionally, the light-up marquee adds a touch of authenticity to the experience.

One of the notable features of these replicas is the ability to engage in four-player simultaneous play, allowing players to team up with friends just like in the arcade days. For added convenience, the cabinets are equipped with four front USB ports (hidden behind the coin doors), enabling the use of USB gaming controllers (sold separately).

Quarter Arcade has prioritized the production of high-quality replicas, ensuring durability, playability, and portability. The cabinets feature a 6″ TFT screen with a 4:3 ratio, providing a visually appealing display. The built-in speaker with volume control enhances the audio experience, immersing players in the game’s sound effects and music.

Powering these replicas is made convenient through a USB-C connection, with the necessary cable included. Furthermore, an internal rechargeable lithium battery allows for portable gameplay without the need for constant power connections.

In terms of dimensions, each cabinet stands at a height of 17.5″ (44.5 cm), a width of 9.2″ (23.4 cm), and a depth of 9.4″ (24 cm). This compact size makes it suitable for various gaming setups and ensures ease of storage when not in use.
