If you enjoy arcade games you are sure to enjoy these mini arcade games created by New Wave Toys based in Los Angeles California. The first miniature arcade cabinet they have created is aptly named RepliCade and is a tiny version of the iconic Centipede arcade machine.
RepliCade measures 12 inches tall and has been made to actually represent the Centipede machine as a 1/6 scale replica, collectors edition made from metal and wood, complete with a mini trackball and modern technology.
Watch the video below to learn more about the mini arcade machines which have taken to Kickstarter this week and already raised over $90,000 thanks to over 740 backers.

• Wooden cabinet in perfect profile
• Accurately reproduced control system
• Backlit LED marquee with authentic art
• Authentic metal coin door
• Vividly reproduced side panel art, bezel, and control panel overlay graphicsFor our RepliCade X Centipede Collector’s Edition, the Trackball and push buttons have been resized to coordinate with the sixth scale cabinet while retaining a fully-functional and satisfying gameplay experience.
